Waterfront vacation rentals in Central Otago

The absolutely breathtaking views, just a few minutes' walk to Queenstown center. Deborah provided lots of helpful information. The room was well-equipped and incredibly cozy — I’d choose it again next time. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at Annie's apartment in Wanaka! The place is modern, beautifully decorated, and very cozy with great heaters and ambient lighting. The view was stunning, and we were within walking distance to shops, cafes, and restaurants. Annie was incredibly accommodating, allowing us an early check-in and being so understanding when we accidentally broke a glass. They also made sure the heaters were on before we arrived, which made the place extra comfortable. We really appreciated the milk and tea provided, which we made good use of. If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Wanaka, this is definitely the place to go!

beautiful place, lovely and warm, bed and pillows were super comfy. had everything we needed and views we are missing already

Just like the photos with a lovely new bathroom. Very warm and comfy beds. Perfect location from the airport and from Queenstown. The hosts were very proactive with our needs and really helpful. Thank you for having us

It was great to stay at a place that was so easily accessible to the center of Queenstown, with the shopping and restaurants so close. The beautiful view of the lake right across the street was an added bonus.

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!

thank you so much. Was a amazing stay. cant wait to come back. Will definitely be staying here again.

We really appreciated having a clean, convenient space for our 2 night get away to the city. We are from the states staying in Twizel but wanted to come to the city for a few nights. The place was perfect with all the amenities. Great for kids. Loved the balcony views! Can’t beat it!

Beautiful apartment! Very clean looks just like the pictures. Can’t get enough of the views! Had everything we needed down to kitchen utensils and heater. Roughly 5 mins drive to the city. David is also very responsive and checked in on us which was nice. The only downsides I would say are the stairs to get to the apartment, more so only on check in and out days with heavy luggage, but we were very well aware of that prior to booking. Also the driveway is a bit tricky but still overall 5 stars. My partner and I enjoyed staying there.

We had an amazing stay! The lake view from our place was absolutely stunning. The location was super convenient—so close to the airport and major supermarkets like Pack’n Save. Check-in and check-out were the easiest we’ve ever experienced. The interior was beautifully designed and made our stay feel extra special. We spent three nights here during my dad’s 60th birthday trip, and my parents loved it so much that we’re already talking about coming back. Everything was spectacular!

Beautiful views and great location. Bathrooms were quite updated and spacious and the laundry was too. Perfect for our small family to relax after enjoying the outdoors.

It's a nice home, very cozy and comfortable. The food and supermarket was just a 5 mins drive away and there is also a beautiful lake right down the house. It was a very nice place to rest and relax especially when you are travelling to visit Milford Sound.

Great wee place to stay, clean and tidy. Lots of things to do, books, games, TV, etc. Has most amenities you’ll need!

I had a great time with my family at this Air bnb, it had amazing views, the house was clutter free and very clean, felt just like being at my home. Kids loved the bunk beds 😊

Our family had a wonderful time visiting Te Anau and Milford Sound. The house was a great place from which to base our day trips. The closeness to Lake Te Anau was a plus. We had beautiful vistas all day long. The walking path next to the lake was so inviting and fun for the kids. The house was comfortable with plenty of space for our family of 7. Don’t hesitate to book this Airbnb for your trip to Te Anau and Milford Sound.

This is the most striking house in the most beautiful location I have stayed in New Zealand. If you have a big group and are looking for something posh, this is a terrific place. We felt right at home.

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

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.
