Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Historic Clyde cottage, restored & welcoming
We loved Louise’s place and had a wonderful time there in her beautiful garden as well. Lovely meeting her and her friendly dogs also! The cottage is charming with all the amenities you’d need - we were welcomed with freshly picked raspberries that were delightful. Located next to all the best coffee shops and restaurants in Clyde, we would love to come back and stay for longer next time.

Wanaka Cottage
We spent a lovely weekend in this delightful cottage. The barbeque and spa pool got plenty of action along with the outdoor seating area. Jacqueline and Ash are great hosts and our roast lamb was made even more delicious by the rosemary fresh from the garden. Easy access to Wanaka township and surrounding attractions. Highly recommend and we'd definitely stay again.

Organic Oasis.
Really unique, very peaceful and private, but close to Lake Hawea and Wanaka. We stayed one night and this was perfect for us, to save a day trip from queenstown.

Cozy 3 Bedroom Cottage with Pool
Great Villa in a wondeful location. Very good value for money

Creagh Homestead, mountain getaway
Fantastic on all levels. If this is available book it! Outstanding views and so peaceful. The perfect place for a getaway whilst being so close to Arrowtown and the wonderful Ayrburn property. Great hosts and the perfect set up. Highly recommend

Manorburn Cottage Rural Alexandra
Had a great time, right on the Otago rail trail bike track, a few kms ride from town. Place was clean and tidy.

Creagh Homestead & Cottage
You’d struggle to find a better view of Arrowtown and the valley heading to Qtown. Would love to have been able to stay longer and enjoy the accommodation more. Jeremy was easy to reach, super friendly and very accommodating - we had an additional guest join us last minute and Jeremy happily brought down sheets for their bed late on a Friday evening. Highly recommend

Clee Cottage – Main Cottage+Cottage 2 with ensuite
We had a fabulous stay at Clee Cottage. It is a beautiful place, perfectly located at Bremner Bay on Lake Wanaka. The house is charming, comfortable, very well equipped and set in beautiful gardens. Gorgeous place!

Warm, sun filled apartment
There are Super Hosts and SUPER Hosts. Sue and Brent went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The property is very spacious and has all the things you appreciate during longer stay, e.g. fully equipped kitchen. The property has nice outdoor area that you can enjoy during summer days and cozy fireplace you do appreciate during cooler nights. I've enjoyed each morning waking up looking at mountain views while still lying in bed. The sunrise colour spectacle on those hills is breathtaking for a city rat like me. With short drive to the main street in Wanaka and plenty of parking, I have found the location of the property pretty convenient. I will add this property to the top of my airbnb list for the great balance between the quality of the property, the hosts that put a lot of effort to make you feel comfortable while respecting your privacy and the value for money balance.

Redlands Country Lodge - Close to Arrowtown
We had an amazing stay at Carl's property on his beautiful farmland. From the moment we arrived, Carl was incredibly welcoming, showing us around and introducing us to his charming farm animals. The property itself is cozy, private, and nestled in a stunning mountain setting—a perfect getaway spot. What truly stood out was Carl's hospitality and how he made us feel like part of the local life. This experience embodies the original spirit of Airbnb, where hosts connect with guests on a personal level. We highly recommend staying here for anyone looking for a unique and memorable retreat!

The Willows Wanaka - 2 bdr House - Central Wanaka
Adrien’s home was terrific. We walked to all of the downtown shops, restaurants, waterfront and parks. There’s a grocery across the street as well as a great coffee truck. Up the street is a food truck park with many great options. We were in town to visit our daughter and had plenty of room to entertain her and her friends. The kitchen was great with gas grill. The laundry was very helpful on our long trip. We would recommend staying here!

Clee Cottage – Main Cottage only.
AFabulous find. we will go back. it was an idyllic spot and a beautiful house. very restful and peaceful

Wanaka Getaway: Stunning Mountain and River Views
Laura has created a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by stunning sunsets/sunrises and beautiful mountains. The accommodation is tastefully decorated with excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities. Having the laundry was a added bonus when you are travelling. There are some great little walking tracks and a short distance to excellent biking tracks. Laura was friendly and went out of her way, checking to make sure everything was okay. I would definitely book Laura's accommodation again and would highly recommend.

Calvert Cottages on Felton Road
A lovely place, with beautiful views come rain or shine (and watching the sun rise is magical). Location for Central Otago vineyards couldn’t be better. Great host with excellent recommendations. Would definitely stay again - a special place.
