Lovely view from upstairs. Beds comfy. Great coffee machine & appreciated the beans, sugar etc that was supplied.

Apt12 Lakefront Apartments
Such a beautiful home! The view was truly astounding. And the location was perfect. Very clean and comfortable house — everything provided for. And Deborah was an extremely helpful and friendly host! Can’t wait to come back!

Lakeside Road New 2 Bed Room Apartment
Loved Leigh’s place - it was clean, tidy and really peaceful. I felt right at home. Great spot to walk around to quieter bits of Lake Wānaka to enjoy the views and swim. Would definitely visit again!

InnThePink - Brand New Apartment on Lake Edge
We had the most incredible stay at Victoria’s space! The smell from the fresh florals was such a unique and wonderful touch. The space was designed so well and the views of the mountains and the lake are just breath taking. It’s across the street from the most incredible restaurant that Victoria suggested (The Sherwood) and we ended up going back 2 nights in a row to try everything on the menu. The proximity from town is great, you can walk if you are feeling like some exercise or it’s a quick 5 min drive/ uber. We also enjoyed an afternoon swimming off the dock in the refreshing waters of the lake. I cannot recommend this stay enough!

Lake front self-contained quality studio
This is the best reasonable accommodation where you can enjoy a lake view and stay comfortably in Queenstown, where there are not many good hotels. Thanks to the best host, it was the best accommodation I have ever stayed in. I was impressed by the quick and friendly guidance, not only of the accommodation but also of the things to do around the accommodation. He could have been a hotelier. He gave me the best guidance and care!! Thanks to him, I had the best experience in Queenstown. I would like to recommend 👍👍👍

Glenorchy Home On The Lake!
We had a wonderful 3 nights at this lovely house. Very spacious and fabulous views. Everything you need in the kitchen. Rina was super helpful with things to do and where to eat. We followed her recommendations and were very pleased we did. Would love to return.

Te awa Lodge Riverside retreat
Wow! What a place! The moment we arrived we felt relaxed and calm, the combination of the sound of the river flowing, the snow on the mountain peaks, the green grass and unbelievable views immediately calmed the soul. We loved the hot tub overlooking the mountains and the steam sauna just outside of the house. The house is spacious, the linen is sooo comfortable, it has everything you could want and more. we have traveled all over the world and Rebecca and Graeme’s Airbnb is right up there with one of the best we have stayed. Thank you SO MUCH for hosting us, we can’t wait to visit again next year.

Lakefront, amazing views, spa & 5 min walk to town
we had an excellent stay at the Bay House. everything is as pictured— beautiful furnishings, spacious, super clean, uncluttered. the location also cannot be beat with the lake just across the road and an easy walk into town. there was plenty of room for the three of us, the kitchen was well equipped and the washer/dryer came in handy after going on rainy/muddy hikes. it was rainy a few days during our visit to Queenstown but we did not mind spending time indoors at this home playing board games and reading. highly highly recommend!

Fabulous beach front house by the sea
Thank you for a lovely stay in Brighton at your beach house. We enjoyed the location, especially being so close to the beach. The house was well presented and tidy. With the added bonus of a trampoline and wee play house outside and games/movies for the family. Would love to stay again 😊

Lake View Townhouse
Jimmy was a very thoughtful and responsive host . The house was very comfortable with stunning views. The setting opposite the lake is beautiful, and a great base for exploring other areas of interest around Queenstown. We’d highly recommend Jimmy’s place.

Kingston Villa with lake and mountain views.
Fantastic location situated just back from the lake. Great balcony with views. Comfortable beds, spacious kitchen and living room.

Jacksons Bay Beach House, paradise on the beach.
Clean and nice view from the sea, recommended!

Lakeview
Picture perfect view of the lake and mountains. Quiet restful setting. Well equipped kitchen and good functional appliances. Easy walk to a tramping tracks. Nice shower and fabulous tank water, no chlorine or fluoride The only reason we wouldn't come back is the low ceiling height for my 6ft 2" husband who had to lower himself every time he used the stairs. Both bedrooms are upstairs, the bathroom is downstairs. The house rattled in the strong winds so ear plugs are a good idea if staying in the second bedroom. I highly recommend this place, but do your shopping enroute as the local supplies are limited.

Fantastic Views!The Point Apartment
the view is beautiful.. facing the lake and beautiful morbing skies

"The Prospector on Miners"
We loved our stay at The Prospector - it was top notch in terms of appearance and amenities, and with wonderful welcoming touches. We really appreciated the privacy and peacefulness and all the care that has gone into creating a wonderful experience for guests. Carolyn was fantastic to deal with and we would definitely recommend this as a must-stay location in Clyde!

Absolute Waterfront Studio. Unreal CBD location!
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.

Lakeview Haven
Nice bathroom. Loved the hot tub. Nice location by the lake - about a 10 minute drive from town. Just something to note if you are staying in Summer this place doesn't have air-conditioning. We were out all day exploring and by the time we got home the breeze had cooled the place down but if you were planning to hang at the apartment in the afternoon it gets quite hot.

Alpenglow - Q1 Apartments
Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Tekapo1929 - Braemar
Nice place with great location, just across Lake Tekapo.

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