Residence du Lac by Staysouth, Unit 15
The accommodation is worth for the value, with beautiful view, quiet and convenient location. Rooms are very clean. Very happy with the experience, highly recommend!

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!

Alpine luxury
The view was excellent! Great location for 1-2 nights stay at Queenstown.

Exciting Queenstown
Probably our favourite Airbnb ever. It ticks all the boxes. It has a perfect location: outside the town but walkable to town in about 25 minutes on the lakeside Queenstown Track, and it’s on the slope below the main road into town, so you don’t see or hear the traffic. It has a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains that you could look at for hours. It has comfortable beds. It has a fully equipped kitchen, with helpful labels on the cupboards and drawers so you’re not constantly trying to remember where things are. It’s easy to get in, with access by code so you don’t have to worry about keys or cards. It has convenient parking. It has good bikes that you can take out - we rode to the Kelvin Peninsula on the other side of the bay. There’s lots of room to spread out. The host’s representative replied right away when we had questions. It’s not cheap but it is so worth it.

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!

Riverside Studio all to yourself
What a lovely place. I felt like home. The apartment was clean, modern and cosy.

Central Wanaka Lakeside Condo
We had a great stay in Wanaka. The location was so convenient to walk to the town center and the lake. The views were spectacular! The place was very well outfitted, the linens and beds were so comfy and the baths were clean and convenient. We will definitely be back!

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.

Queenstown Lakefront Dream | Hot Tub | BBQ |
Travelling with family of 6 plus grandparents. Was a great stay and 5-10 mins from airport and 5-10mins from town depending on traffic. The layout was good for us as we could stay upstairs while the grandparents had the self contained unit downstairs. The main living room was great and had a big window that captured the views amazingly. The outside had a nice little outside space with table and chairs and great on the couple of sunny days. The hottub was good on our ski days and overlooked the water which was nice. The property was clean and functional and had the basics. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but was fine for that style and time of building. One thing to keep in mind is that the driveway is a little harder to get down coming from the south if you have a long wheel base. This is due to the orientation of the hairpin corner. It sometimes hard to get out from during busy times if heading south as you cannot clearly see around the corner and can be dangerous.

Paradise at Pisa
Thanks Kate, everything was perfect and exactly as described. My wife and I really enjoyed our time and hope to be back next year. A restful time was exactly what we needed and that’s what we got, thanks a lot.

Lakefront Terrace - Walk to Town
Great communication. We were a family group and the house was perfect, lots of comfy spots to unwind. Great location, would definitely stay again!

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!

Modern Lakefront Holiday Home
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 😊

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.

"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!!!

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.
