The Pines Guesthouse - new re-list
Stu’s guesthouse was a lovely getaway in New Zealand! Close to Queenstown, ZQN airport, and to many outdoor activities. Very peaceful and private, soft linens, and felt right at home. It’s clear that this is not a cookie cutter Airbnb, but a real guesthouse, and it shows in the fit and finish of the property, and Stu’s helpful and kind approach to hosting. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Remarkable View Apartment
This place was amazing, only stayed one night and was planning to have dinner in the city, but once we saw the views from the front patio - we decided to stay in for dinner and watch the sunset from home !! Very clean place as well, and impressed by how many amenities they provided. Would definitely stay here again !

Sunny & Modern, Garden Cottage
Great place to stay with stunning views and very peaceful. The cottage had everything we needed

Charming Arrowtown Sanctuary
This was a perfect stay, convenient right across the bus stop and Foursquare. I felt so at home and so welcome. Arrowtown is a real hidden gem and it was a manageable walking distance into town to explore further. Great suggestions in the compendium, comfortable and warm bed and the heat pump was a bonus, although I didn’t need it much with the lovely sunny few days. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

The Spruce Hus, Studio by the Lake.
Very peaceful, private and sunny. Felt like it was brand new. Anita is so friendly. And the home made bread was delish! Would highly recommend.

Country Cottage on the Shotover Gorge bike trail
Amazing house, amazing hosts, cool animals which you can feed! Setting is absolutely stunning, close enough to Queenstown but remote enough to feel the serene landscape, amazing night sky's too. Hosts went above and beyond and did everything with a smile. Great spot!!

Delightful Detached Apartment
Great stay, fully equipped, especially the kitchen.The best choice to climb Isthmus Peak

Modern studio close to town with great views
Highly recommended. The hosts were incredible and very helpful. We travelled from Sydney with our 14 month old bub and we were able to check in 4 hours early to settle in. The place is beautiful, nice and tidy with great views. Definitely staying here again.

Grandview Vista - where mountains meet the vines
Fabulous property with amazing locations! Thank you Andrea and particularly Patrick for all the help. Would highly recommend staying at the property if you’re visiting Wanaka, Lake Hawea, Mount Aspiring National Park, etc while en route to Queenstown.

The Perch
We had a lovely stay during our time in Wanaka. Thanks for already switching on the heat pump for us so it was warm and cosy by the time we arrived. Instructions were great and the location worked well for us, it was easy to get around. Everything was super clean, the bed & lounge were very comfortable and the little kitchen area had all we needed.

West Meadows Cabin - Brand new
Symone and Mark were fantastic hosts – so welcoming, accommodating, and understanding. Communication was excellent, and their place had such a warm, inviting feel. Highly recommend! and we would definitely stay again. Thanks so much for everything!!

Relaxing 1 bedroom studio with a private deck area
Very convenient location, just a few minutes drive from the town center! It was nice and cozy unit in a quiet neighborhood… Sandy was very responsive and helpful with addressing our needs. Great stay and would recommend!

Quirky character filled riverside guesthouse
Fab Airbnb! The house is beautifully done and very unique. Loved the pebbles in the wet room. The roof bedroom is quirky and the bed is very comfy. Great well equipped kitchen. You can hear a bit of traffic noise from the nearby road but it didn't bother us. Also it is not the darkest in the bedroom as light does shine through. Excellent hosts and very lovely dog :)

Self-Contained Wanaka GuestHouse
Great place to stay, comfy bed and big bathroom with nice shower, quiet neighbourhood 15-20 mins from lakefront. Quick communication and easy check in. Thank you!

Kowhai Cottage, Dublin Bay Wanaka
It's a luxurious stay!The house is located in an estate with a very large hillside and lake in front, and you can see the cattle in the back. You can see the sunrise at 8am.Home and surroundings, everything is pleasing to the eye.We and our three-year-old were reluctant to leave.Highly recommended!

Really lovely house with a sweet little garden at the back. We were travelling with two small children and it was perfect. A lovely distance from the town and really nice walks nearby.

Rural Retreat minutes from Lake Hāwea
We absolutely loved our stay! We came to Wanaka to elope, and this Airbnb was the perfect place to stay during such a special moment. A huge thank you to the host for kindly allowing our makeup artist and photographers to come on short notice — we truly appreciated it. The surroundings are fantastic, especially for stargazing. We’d love to come back someday!

Sleepy Albert Town Sleepout
Very comfortable place in a great location for the mountains, rivers and town. Close to the patisserie as well! Met Tim just before leaving and it was a nice chat, can recommend these guys as hosts and would definitely look at staying again.
