Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Te Waipounamu / South Island

A group of girlfriends had the best weekend here. So cozy and well catered for and we will be back very soon x absolutely loved it thanks 🙏

I can't say enough positive things about Big Heart Beach. We loved staying at this wonderful home with the sound of the waves out th back door and a view of the Southern Alps from the front. The house had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable. I would definitely stay here a second time if or when I am lucky enough to visit the area again.

Kath and Steve gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and made us feel at home. The place was very comfortable and well stocked. The location is beautiful! All good. We'd love to come back.

Lovely stay. The outdoor bath was such a bonus. Clean house with comfy beds and everything you need for an enjoyable stay.

Kathryn's house was exactly what we needed for a rest and recovery holiday. We stayed 10 days and were perfectly happy there for the entire time. Peaceful, stunning landscape. The drive into Arrowtown and Queenstown were quick and easy with the most breathtaking scenery that it was always a pleasure to drive and then return to the peace of Kathryn's airbnb. Loved meeting Cookie the dog and the goats and chickens at the end of the driveway. We loved the style of the house both architecturally and interior design. Loved having an open fire and sitting in the window seat. Thanks Kathryn.

The house and location was amazing, views for days.

We had a great time. Would stay here again any time we are in the area. Very peaceful.

Manuka vista was awesome We hoped to do stargazing and we were lucky enough to get clear skies It was incredible The fire was cosy The house was well appointed Close to get to mt cook etc Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our stay. Such beautiful scenery and comfortable stay. Absolutely recommend checking this place out!

Oh where do I begin…Sararose and Jules family has the most charming apartment nested in an incredible mountain valley. But what touched my heart was how everything was designed and built in this apartment, and I really mean EVERYTHING. From the fully equipped and stocked kitchen to the cozy fire place, to the spotless bathroom, everything is thoughtfully placed and made by hand. Craftsmanship can be felt everywhere. It’s such a warm welcoming space inside out. The window seat is no joke, exactly as shown on the photos. Come here, you will find everything you will ever need, inside out.

Love the ambience, incredible and convenient location with stunning views. The place was super cozy and had a very homey vibe. Toilet floors are heated which is something that we did not know we needed haha - mind blowing. This airbnb blew our expectations out of the water.

We had a fantastic 3 nights enjoying the views and character of Julie's place, very friendly with lots of locals tips and would definitely like to revisit with the family !

Great place, luxury decoration and great views, slightly sadly not knowing how to open the fireplace

Excellent, with a beautiful view.

I loved staying in Antonia's apartment--it's a really cute spot, just like the photos, and walkable to the Octagon and lots of great options for food, drinks, coffee, etc. Once I figured out parking (the easiest is just across from where you enter on Queen's Gardens), everything was a breeze. I hope I can come back to Dunedin, and if I do, I'll be staying here!

One of the best stays we’ve ever had. The place was incredible, spotless, so well furnished and comfortable. Just incredible.

I will defiantly book here again, this time with my own family. Super close but far enough away from the noise.

We had a lovely mums stay at this accomodation, the host was great to deal with, we even got to check in slightly earlier than expected! The house was immaculate, it would be great in there was an iron available for use, and the two king beds were quite hard, but other than that it was a beautiful house, very warm on a very cold weekend with beautiful views!

Lovely place to spend a few days and use to either relax quietly or use it as a base to explore more of the Catlins from. I'd definitely recommend!

I stayed at David’s with my husband and mum and dad and it was perfect! Really spacious with comfy beds and lounge area and a view to die for. Catching the bus into town was only $2 and left from the end of the street, there were also restaurants and bars within walking distance which we loved. Recommend this place if you’re looking for a spacious and comfortable base to explore Queenstown from.

We had a great stay as a group of friends. Perfect for our needs with a well equipped house with everything for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended. Beautiful old but warm house!

A beautiful house with a homely feel. The toys for the children were a big hit. Warm and cosy. Thank you

Lovely warm house to stay in and very comfortable. Would be perfect for big groups! Only a 5 minute walk into the Main Street. Will definitely stay again

We have just come home from a fabulous 2 nights in Wainui at Caro's house. We were 7 Ladies. There was plenty of room for all of us and the beds were super comfy and warm. The weather was horrendous for our weekend, but that didn't matter at all. The views over the Akaroa Heads with the weather coming in was spectacular. Caro had lit the fire for us for our arrival which was very much appreciated. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a dining table in the kitchen area as well as the lounge room. The hydrangea's in the garden are beautiful. We absolutely loved staying here and will definitely be back. We would love to arrange a summer vacation so we can sit out on the verandah in the sun. Highly recommend Caro's house. Thank you Caro. Your communication was excellent and we really appreciated the late check out.
