Luxury 1BR Apartment right by the Lake.

SanyaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
This place is absolutely ideal. Firstly - it looks even better than the photos. The view is stunning - whether just relaxing in the living room, balcony, bedroom - you have unobstructed & private views. The unit is private, quiet, and has everything you need. I stayed for 4 nights and felt fully at home. The balcony is amazing for relaxing. The location for me was perfect, as it’s only a short drive/walk to QT - but yet it’s more quiet/less busy. The track for walking or cycling along the water is literally a few steps away. So close to the airport too. I loved everything about the unit & it is a huge part of what made QT as amazing as it was! Would highly recommend to book.

21 Lakefront

AndrewRating, 5 stars8 months ago
All 4 of us were beyond blown away by this place. Fitted our needs and then some. Actually spent more time cooking and dining at home than expected because of the kitchen, bbq and incredible views of the lake. The only negative we could come up with was that we weren’t able to overstay our welcome and squat here forever. It was the consensus that we will book this apartment should we return to NZ next year.

InnThePink - Brand New Apartment on Lake Edge

AshleyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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

Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
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 👍👍👍

Lake front house with mountain views

BreeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Penny was a wonderful host and easy to reach during the stay, we needed assistance at one point and she swiftly arranged someone to come and help. The house is on the lake and we all enjoyed being able to relax in a warm and comfortable house. Penny also put in the extra mile and provided items for my little nieces and extra plates etc for an evening with extended family, which made our family holiday all that more special. And everyone had a amazing time Couldn’t recommend this Airbnb enough!

Lakeview Living Te Anau

KarenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Sarah’s place! The house was modern, spacious ,and spotless. We had an easy time making dinner because everything we needed was provided. The neighbourhood was lovely—we took an evening walk to the lake, had a nice chat with one of the neighbours, and were greeted by another resident’s friendly dog! Highly recommended to stay at Sarah’s place if you’re visiting Te Anau with family or friends :)

Te awa Lodge Riverside retreat

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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

MinnieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

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.

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!

Lakeside Escape

KayRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Bonnie’s apartment was absolutely beautiful with stunning view of Lake Wakatipu. Check in was a breeze with the detailed instructions provided, and the apartment was clean and well maintained. We traveled with our 1yr old and it has all the necessary amenities. The apartment also has access to the trail which links to Queenstown town centre. Highly recommend Bonnie’s apartment!

Lakeview Haven

TashRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.
