Arrowtown A Frame Perfect Location
Great place to stay. Clean, private, with beautiful surroundings. Close to historic town. Easy to find. Lisa is very responsive and friendly. Was enjoyable to deal with. Fully reccommending.

Absolute Luxury on the Lakefront
We cannot recommend Maria's place in Wanaka more! In my experience, it is not common for an Airbnb to exceed expectations, but this beautiful property did that and more! The apartment is pristine, the view unbelievable, and the very easy walk to and from town made this location a dream! It was wonderfully peaceful and quiet, truly a highlight of our time in New Zealand. We will absolutely return and hope to stay with Maria again. Thank you so much for having us!

Lakeside Luxury 2 Bedroom
My first words when walking into this apartment was “wow”. Immaculate with modern new furniture and spectacular views of Lake Wānaka. Incredible location. The kitchen had new appliances and had all of the necessary items to cook a nice dinner. Perfection!

Pembroke
Beautiful apartment in the perfect spot in town. We very much appreciated all of the little details! Would definitely recommend.

Lakefront Premier – 3 Bedroom

Nautilus Penthouse | Lakefront | Walk to town
Even more beautiful than the pictures. The balcony is sublime and it’s a short walk to the downtown restaurants on a very pleasant boardwalk. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub on the complex property.

Fantail Cottage Lakefront Lake Hawea, Wanaka, NZ
Beautiful spot. Close to Wānaka and beautiful walks (both in LH and W). Good kitchen facilities.

THE BLACK SHACK - LAKE HAWEA
We felt right at home the instant we walked in. Very accommodating to our extra needs. Linen was very clean. House was perfect and the surroundings were magical. We will 100% be back. Thanks for having us.

Prime positioned Lake House in Stunning Lake Hawea
A very comfortable home next to Lake Hawea, you can literally walk to the lake from the backyard of the house. The Lake view is stunning in the morning. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so suitable for family travel. Everything you need is there, BBQ, washing machine, drying machine. All in all, a very comfortable place to stay.

Views on Stone by Sotheby's Luxury Rental Homes
The location, views and facilities of the house exceeded expectations, Yohann was very friendly, the house was very warm, the kitchen was well equipped and we are looking forward to booking again next year.

That Wanaka Tree House - BEST Lake Front Location
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.

Wanaka Lake Front Family Home
We are so sad to leave this place. Daiane and Haydyns place we absolutely perfect for our family holiday in Wanaka. We felt right at home, the location was as good as it gets in a peaceful street but a very easy walk to town. The lake views 🤩🤩 Free from clutter, large section, all the amenities we needed for 9 nights away from home. Thank you so much again for sharing your place, we really appreciate it.

The View
Amazing location, the house has stunning views of the mountains and lake. Well equipped with everything you need, the group of 6 really enjoyed the house, very comfy beds and furniture. A great spot to unwind after a few busy days. Walking distance to supermarket cafes and bars, we can’t wait to book our trip next year and stay again. Thank you :)
