Waterfront vacation rentals in Wānaka

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!

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!

This spot was perfect for us! Stunning view out the window and such a handy short stroll to town.

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

Well maintained property with beautify scenery view. It’s located within a apartment complex, which offers indoor swimming pool and gym. The agent provide clear instruction on checkin and facilities provided and very quick on responding any queries. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property.

Good spot, close to everything Wanaka has to offer. A little bit pricey for a 1 night stay but all in all a good experience.

Great location by the lake close to restaurants and shops. Had use of 2 bikes with great tracks nearby for running, walking and cycling.

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.

Very reasonably priced and great location near Clutha river trail and short drive to Wanaka. Very tidy and includes everything you’d need.

Beautiful spot. Close to Wānaka and beautiful walks (both in LH and W). Good kitchen facilities.

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.

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.

A beautiful family home. Impeccably decorated. Host is responsive and helpful. Was lovely to stay in a home that is loved and appreciated.

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.

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.

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 :)

Our favourite accommodation of our NZ trip, everything was excellent! I can't decide if my favourite feature was the super comfortable bed and linen, the heated bathroom floor or the sensor light for the bathroom! Carolyn was great with communication and very helpful. Highly recommended, we will definitely stay here if visiting this area again.

The place is self-sufficient and offers a gorgeous view of Lake Wakatipu. It was perfect for our family with a toddler—fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. Very private, clean, and in a great location. Being close to the airport, we occasionally spotted airplanes, which was an absolute hit with our toddler! Highly recommend

Exactly what we needed for short stay in Queenstown. Great location walking to everything. Host is amazing and extremely responsive! Couldn’t have been better.

Julia’s place offers one of the best bang-for-your-buck views in Queenstown! With two separate bedrooms, it was more than spacious for us as a couple. The living area has a gas heater that warms the space quickly, plus finned heaters in each room kept us cozy during chilly nights. The kitchen comes thoroughly equipped with 4 gas powered stoves, electric kettle, microwave oven and nespresso machine. There's also a washing machine and clothes rack to dry your clothes! The hot tub was a highlight — perfect for a solo soak under the stars, with consistently warm water. The location is super convenient: just 10 minutes from the airport and around 15 minutes to the CBD. Plus, major supermarkets like New World, Woolworths, and Kmart are close by. Highly recommended for a comfortable and well-located stay!

Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

The studio was in a great location. It was easy to find, clean and tidy. Will definitely stay if im in Queenstown again.
