Ringaringa Beach Cottage, comfortable whole house

Very quiet location with a welcome to overseas and New Zealand visitors. Families welcome but parents are asked to remember that although the road has little traffic, the property is not fenced. We have the greatest sea views, plenty of land and pelagic birds to spot with many simple and more challenging walks available, very like New Zealand used to be. Friendly but not intrusive people, helpful house manager available.

Riviera Shack

Great little spot. 200m from the North beach & River. 5min walk to central Riverton - supermarkets & cafes. You maybe able to bring your dog - please check with me first. Dogs need to be kept on a lead around our yard at all times (because of our animals). And they also need to be able to stay off the furniture. We are also on the Te Araroa Trail, so great for backpackers.

Beds at the Beach

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviews1 month ago

Janines's place is even lovelier than the pictures. Fabulous view, right on the beach and perfect for walking and dolphin spotting (at the right time of year). Particularly appreciated the very well equipped kitchen; and two bathrooms made for a very comfortable stay for a couple and two singles (with own double bedrooms). Very comfy beds. Hoping to come back again!

We had an amazing couple of nights here…fantastic location with the beach at the doorstep and an easy walk to the petrified forest. If you’re looking for a relaxed, honest place to recharge away from it all then this is the place. Wish we’d stayed longer…

Black's Hut - Lakefront Cottage

5 out of 5 average rating, 274 reviews3 days ago

One of the most spectacular Airbnb's we have ever stayed at. The view is sensational and it is a lovely, peaceful setting. The Airbnb itself was modern, comfy and clean. It was well appointed with a full kitchen and well stocked supplies. Bedrooms were comfy and there were modern, clean bathrooms. Te Anau is a great place to stay as a base for trips to Milford or Doubtful Sound. Black's Hut is around a 30 minute walk to the town centre, slightly longer if you take the very scenic route along the lake edge. There are no busses or taxis. All and all it was a fantastic stay and comes highly recommended.
