Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Shotover River

We absolutely adored staying at Te Awa Lodge on our recent trip to Wanaka. It was a gorgeous riverside home with an amazing hot tub and sauna, which we loved using after our hikes. Graeme and Carolyn were such warm, welcoming hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The property is easily accessible to Wanaka (10-15 min) and Mount Aspiring (1 hour) . Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

The house is very clean and well-equipped, and it is also convenient to drive to Queenstown

Incredible house with the most amazing views. The fantastic floor plan was perfect for our large group, comfortable beds and great shower pressure. Sally is a super thoughtful and responsive host and even had ballons and welcome treats for a birthday celebration. 10 minute walk to town was very convenient. Highly reccomend and would stay again.

Absolutely stunning!!! From stepping into this beautiful space we were welcomed to peaceful music and a warm space to invite us in. We were in awe of the view and spent most of the afternoon sitting with a cuppa and looking out. The beds were very comfortable and warm and the shower was also excellent. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to anyone.

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.

A lovely house to base yourself in Central Otago. Spotless and spacious and very toasty warm in the colder weather. Keiran was easy to communicate with and helpful operating instructions for the appliances were on hand. Plenty of room and although not required by us was good to see a cot and highchair for those with small families.

Julianne’s home was perfect for our stay. Situated in a superb location to enjoy all that is special about Wanaka. Fabulous views over Lake Wanaka and the mountains. Magical sunsets. Beautiful surrounds all walkable. Peaceful neighbourhood. A very spacious and comfortable home with everything we needed and more. Thank you Julianne for being a superhost. Very easy to communicate with and clear instructions before arrival much appreciated.

Michael's house is next level for a stay in Queenstown. Everything in the house is beautiful, and feels luxurious. The views are spectacular and makes it hard to want to leave. It is truly a special place to visit and spend time.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The views are absolutely amazing. The accommodation was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Everything was to high standard and attention to detail was great. The studio is very private. Karen and John went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were very helpful.

This is a great spot for Arrowtown and exploring the area. Easy 15 minute walk into town and you get all the peace as well. The apartment has stunning views and is perfect for a couple- we had a 5 month old with us and actually perfect for that too! Belinda was agree host, dropping round the key for the gym/pool, and generally being really communicative

Oh where do I begin…Sararose and Jules family has the most charming apartment nested in an incredible mountain valley. But what touched my heart was how everything was designed and built in this apartment, and I really mean EVERYTHING. From the fully equipped and stocked kitchen to the cozy fire place, to the spotless bathroom, everything is thoughtfully placed and made by hand. Craftsmanship can be felt everywhere. It’s such a warm welcoming space inside out. The window seat is no joke, exactly as shown on the photos. Come here, you will find everything you will ever need, inside out.

We stayed at the Kikorangi apartment for 10 wonderful days. The apartment was well appointed with all the amenities you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay….it felt like home. And the view…it was amazing! We spent a lot of time looking out the window at Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables. The location of the apartment was the perfect base for Queenstown activities and road trips. It’s only a short drive to Queenstown, Arrowtown and Queenstown airport. Highly recommend staying at this apartment for a memorable stay.

Very clean and has everything you need. Thankyou :)

Susie and her family were fantastic hosts. From the moment we were welcomed by Susie and her offsider Rosie, it was clear we picked the perfect place to base ourselves. The space was open and private and provided our family of four with all that was needed. Communicating with Susie was a breeze and if we needed anything a swift reply was always there. Thanks Susie and family for providing the perfect location to explore the region from.

Great spot to stay. Modern and well presented. Perfect location to explore the area and easy for parking to.

Nice and tidy, great location. Would stay again.

Beautiful place with one of the best views in Queenstown. Excellent bed and shower. Very clean. Highly recommended

Excellent location and accommodation. We have stayed at the same place 10 years back and would do again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Bonnie’s place in Queenstown! The home was beautiful, spotless, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The views were stunning and the space was both cozy and spacious — ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring. Bonnie was a wonderful host: warm, responsive, and thoughtful. You can tell she really cares about her guests having the best possible experience. We all loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Great apartment, exactly what the listing said it would be. Easy to check In and loads of lighting outside if arriving at night. Clean, tidy, everything you need for a relaxing stay and extremely quiet. Super close to the airport but never heard a plane at all. Really close to great walking tracks along the river and supermarket and cafes really close by. Friendly communication from the hosts. Would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful location with stunning lake and mountain views. Pleasant and easy walks to local coffee shops and eateries. Great lakeside walk into Queenstown. Excellent accommodation bed extremely comfortable. Great communication with host who was helpful and timely in responding. Would highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

Lovely place to stay close to Wanaka. We loved that it was its own house so felt private and wasnt part of someone elses property. The house is a new build, very clean, well equipped and warm. Bakery and grocery store nearby. Offstreet parking. Very close to drive into Wanaka. Can't fault it in any way. Jane also went the extra mile as a host and borrow some luggage scales for our bags from her neighbour, so we had something to use ahead of our flight home. Excellent for a stay in Wanaka! Thank you Jane!

I will never forget the moment staying 2nights here. Wonderful view

Apartment with a great view and good location as it is near to town areas. Quite a variety of eateries and shopping in town areas. Very responsive and friendly host. Clear instructions to check in and parking is just outside the apartment. Convenient to move the luggages. Good stay indeed!
