Beachfront vacation rentals in Central Otago

We had the most amazing time at the River House. The house is fantastic, perfect amenities and right on the river. Jo was a fantastic communicator so helpful with any questions we had and we greatly appreciated Ken ensuring we had enough firewood. We had a lovely time and we were so sad to leave. Thanks Jo and Ken for your amazing hospitality.

Firstly let us say everything about this property is simply stunning, the space, the views, the location and did I mention the views.. As hosts, Kelly and Chris were so responsive and helpful. We would hope to return at some time, unfortunately while we were there our stay was impacted with noise from an adjacent property hosting a wedding. We reported this to Chris and Kelly who intend to take the matter further. This does not impact our desire to return nor does it affect the five star review this property deserves.

This is a fantastic place to stay in Wanaka. The house is huge with lots of "breakout" areas when multiple families are travelling together. The location is a 10-15 min stroll from shops and restaurants. The Wanaka Tree is a 1 minute walk from the back door. We loved sitting outside with a morning coffee watching the sun rise over the lake.

Beautiful views and great location made this an ideal Airbnb , well suited to our group of four. It’s conveniently located near the Royal Albatross Centre, where we got great views of the Albatross community and the return of the blue penguins after dark. We also enjoyed looking at the artwork in the house.

We loved our stay! Short 10 min drive to the city, 7 minutes to the Frankton grocery store. The kitchen has everything you need for home cooking, and good quality supplies at that. Their carbon steel pan is the best pan I’ve ever used in my life…. I am buying one as soon as we get home. The view of the lake is stunning, and the host was very communicative. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Beautiful stay with great views. My family and I really enjoyed the stay and really appreciated all the details and thought that went into designing the place. In particular, we really liked the fact there were hangers and space to put our luggage and clothes. Convenient ports to charge our devices and the place was absolutely clean and stunning. Would definitely come back to stay again in the future.

Excellent stay, plus a nice little breakfast setup with tea, coffee, yogurt, cereals, bread & spreads. Short walk to the lake and lake path for walking or biking.

Thanks Kate, everything was perfect and exactly as described. My wife and I really enjoyed our time and hope to be back next year. A restful time was exactly what we needed and that’s what we got, thanks a lot.

good location near to St Claire beach, and easdy to get to town.

Great wee place to stay, clean and tidy. Lots of things to do, books, games, TV, etc. Has most amenities you’ll need!

I had a great time with my family at this Air bnb, it had amazing views, the house was clutter free and very clean, felt just like being at my home. Kids loved the bunk beds 😊

We had a fantastic stay! The cottage is incredibly well-equipped, and we especially loved the fireplace, which made the evenings warm and cozy. The view is absolutely stunning, probably one of the best lakefront locations on Lake Hawea. The hosts were also very responsive and friendly, always quick to help with any questions. We would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and amazing scenery!

If you are looking for a well designed and comfortable Airbnb, while away from the busyness of the town, Robynne’s Airbnb is the best fit. By saying this, it’s still convenient to go to the town, you can choose water taxi, driving or Uber (approx $40 one way). The most relaxing moment was sitting in the living room with door opened, listening the birds singing, enjoying the cool breeze and watching the falling leaves… Thanks to Robynne who was so very kind and helpful to us during our stay of 8 nights. We are sure we will come back.

Wonderful place with super views of the lake and the mountains. Walking distance from the town centre.

Great amazing house! Every room has a beautiful view!! Lovely host too 😊

Great location, spacious house. Good for big families and walking distance to everything

we had an excellent stay at the Bay House. everything is as pictured— beautiful furnishings, spacious, super clean, uncluttered. the location also cannot be beat with the lake just across the road and an easy walk into town. there was plenty of room for the three of us, the kitchen was well equipped and the washer/dryer came in handy after going on rainy/muddy hikes. it was rainy a few days during our visit to Queenstown but we did not mind spending time indoors at this home playing board games and reading. highly highly recommend!

If we could give The Longhouse a 6 star rating we would! This is a truly special property with one of the most spectacular views along the coast line. We loved that it was a renovated 100 year old building with an interesting history. Ilse has created a modern home while maintaining the character. We loved the well appointed kitchen with with its potage garden at the back. We were able to use the herbs and vegetables available. The bedrooms, each with their own ensuites were very comfortable! We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub too.

Beautiful location & amazing place to stay for a long weekend
