Vacation rentals with a patio in Shotover River

Thank you for having us. Great place to stay. Will have to visit again.

We had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The space was exactly as described—clean, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Leo and Kay were very responsive and friendly, making check-in and communication super easy. The location was ideal—close to everything. We needed, yet quiet and peaceful at night. The little touches, like fresh towels, coffee, and thoughtful local recommendations, really made the stay feel special. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hassle-free, relaxing getaway. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Excellent! Can’t wait to stay here again!

Tim’s place was absolutely stunning! The views are incredible and the home is the perfect size. We’re a young family with a toddler and the space was excellent, the front deck overlooking Shotover was a great spot to burn toddler energy. It was easy to find, Tim’s directions were clear and easy to understand. Close to Queenstown itself but also to Arrowtown which was perfect.

We had a lovely experience staying at Rata lodge! Our only regret is that we did not book more days with Judy! Spacious, modern, clean and equipped with everything that you would require. Not to mention it was located in a tranquil location within mins drive to the central area. We loved the high ceilings and decor touches. We look forward to be back again in the future, thank you Judy!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered — from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy bedding and relaxing atmosphere. The location was ideal, quiet yet conveniently close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was seamless and welcoming. Truly one of the best stays we've ever had — we can’t recommend it highly enough and would definitely love to return!

Such a perfect house! Compact yet very well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The house was pristine clean, and the location was peaceful and quiet, very ideal for a relaxing stay. We especially loved the backyard. Jason was super friendly and welcoming. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Terima kasih Jason for hosting us!

Beautiful home with stunning views, and host Craig accommodated all of our needs. Hope to return someday!!

The place was simply amazing with amazing views. It was well maintained and it had fully functional kitchen.

Very comfortable place

What a beautiful place and the kindest hosts you could ever hope to meet! The location is absolutely perfect, and the surroundings are so peaceful! You can feel your stress evaporate as you listen to the birds outside on the deck, sipping your favorite beverage (morning or evening), feeling the sun, watching the sky full of stars. Beds are comfortable, and true blackout curtains if you don't want the morning sun in your eyes lol. Shower pressure is AWESOME, which is a rarity I've found. But what makes a stay truly great is your hosts, and no one could ever ask for better than Kathryn & Nick. This girl with little experience in building fires in Hawaii needed some help, and Nick was happy to oblige, and now I know the upside-down method, which has served me well already in another place! So kind, so friendly, just really invested in your having a great stay. Thank you so much, Kathryn & Nick!

This is hands down the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! The house is absolutely stunning—spacious, immaculately clean, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay so comfortable. The highlight, without a doubt, is the breathtaking view. Waking up to such a gorgeous scenery every morning felt like a dream. This beautiful home made our first trip to Queenstown truly unforgettable! My family couldn’t stop talking about how special this place was! The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and easy access to nearby attractions. Every little detail, from the cozy bedding to the well-equipped kitchen, was just perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s truly a hidden gem. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway, don’t hesitate to book here. We’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I had the best time at this beautiful suite! So spacious and incredible views. Only an 8 minute drive into Queenstown and the private spa bath was an absolute stand out! Josh and Alana’s were excellent hosts, and the suite was an absolute delight to stay in!

We had a wonderful stay! Our hosts were welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. We felt right at home. The property itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our own meals. It struck the perfect balance: private and peaceful, yet just a short drive or bike ride to some good restaurants. We especially appreciated the little touches that made the space so comfortable. The highlight for my family was Rusty — the hosts’ friendly dog who quickly became a daily companion and source of joy for my child. Watching them play together was such a delight and added an unexpected charm to our visit. This was easily one of our favourite BnB experiences and we would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended for families looking for a restful, well-located getaway with heart.

What a location! Left my Husband and I speechless. The villa was beautifully presented, clean and modern. We had a great time taking astrological photos from the deck and enjoying the gas log fireplace. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Chris for the amazing stay in NZ

A fantastic place to stay!! We had such a wonderful time here. Very relaxing, peaceful and private. The view is spectacular! An easy 10min drive to the centre of Wanaka. Lesley and David were wonderful hosts and have thought of every detail, including ensuring our kitchen supplies were freshly restocked every day. Would highly recommend!

loved our stay. really convenient to walk into town and easy parking.

We could not have loved Wanaka and this condo more! Everything was so clean, located close to the town area, and Alex & Jesper were wonderful hosts! It was 3 days of bliss for us. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Great location, walkable into town and close to bus stop. The house was lovely and warm, comfortable beds and the view was stunning. Melissa was a clear communicator and thank you again for the early check in.

Excellent stay with Kate. Her place is thoughtfully decorated with expansive mountain views and felt like home in Wanaka immediately. Great outdoor balcony overlooking the ranges which a BBQ to enjoy some food and drinks. Kate was an incredible host proactively offering baby essential items for our little one, answering questions we had within minutes, checking in to see how I stay was. The property was kept in immaculate condition, place felt brand new with modern amenities like aircon, heating in all rooms and exceptionally clean which was really important for us travelling with a baby and the wider complex had excellent amenities like tennis courts, spa and gym which was an added bonus for an Airbnb. Highly recommend and great place for a family or anyone to come back home after a day venturing in and around Wanaka

The breathtaking views are what capture your attention when you first arrive. Nestled on a hill over looking the lake, this place is stunning. It was everything it said it would be. Fiona was a welcoming host. I could've asked for more. I'd definitely recommend this place to friends and I'm keen to stay here again when I'm next in Queenstown.

Lovely place to stay close to Wanaka. We loved that it was its own house so felt private and wasnt part of someone elses property. The house is a new build, very clean, well equipped and warm. Bakery and grocery store nearby. Offstreet parking. Very close to drive into Wanaka. Can't fault it in any way. Jane also went the extra mile as a host and borrow some luggage scales for our bags from her neighbour, so we had something to use ahead of our flight home. Excellent for a stay in Wanaka! Thank you Jane!

Incredible location, outstanding view and a very comfortable house to stay at. Nick was a great communicator and we thank him very much for our wonderful stay. Would love to come back.

Ideal place for walking into Arrowtown, where restaurants and walking tracks only 20 mins walk. Beds were very comfortable and warm. Heat pump was always a winner on those cold mornings . So quiet, I didn’t know Laura was next door with her lovely family. Washer/dryer worked well. No one likes to wash coming home after holidays. Thx again Laura, I will be back next year! Heather
