Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We loved staying with Helen at the Bealey eco lodge. The setting is breathtaking and Helen’s cosy lodge was the perfect place to explore the area from. Helen is a super friendly host with a remarkable knowledge of the region. We’d recommend this stay for anyone traveling through the area looking for an off-grid experience

We had the most wonderful time at Sally’s and Keri’s place. It is located in beautiful surroundings, lots of nature and places to visit the sea and take a walk. The hot tub should win an award for “most beautiful view from a hot tub”. With unmatched hospitality, great breakfast and the friendliest dog we can not recommend this place enough. Thank you so much for having us!

My sister and I had a wonderful night away , Rob was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Absolutely gorgeous home and grounds,, I felt like the lady of the manor. We will definitely be back.

My wife and I had the most amazing time staying at Pete & Janine's place! The room was fabulous and styled with taste! The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was cozy and warm with its log fire!! Pete & Janine were fantastic hosts and treated us as though we were family. They cooked a great dinner both nights as the pub down the road was closed! We absolutely recommend this place at the highest level! We loved our stay and will look to return again soon!!

Liebe Deborah vielen Dank für deine Gastfreundschaft, es war sehr angenehm bei dir. Nochmals vielen Dank für die Früchte, welche du uns bereit gelegt hast ♥️ Beste Grüsse Eileen und Phil

Karen and Nigel were amazingly friendly and hospitable. The accommodation was spotless and breakfast was a bonus. Great place to stay overnight.

Thanks Judy! we loved this place. it was so good to be away from the direct bustle of the Queenstown downtown. We were prompted to explore the local area up to Coronet Peak, Ayrburn and Arrowtown it gave us the most pleasant stay in nature. The barn is such good value and and as quintessential kiwi family gathering in Queenstown for a 80th staying at the barn was proclaimed the best accom and a great evening in beautiful weather at the barn having dinner together. Judy it was better than we could have imagined. Mum proclaimed we didn't need a lunch on the Earnslaw as she had the best family pre birthday night. Many thanks Judy. we will be back.

The property was unbelievably beautiful and clean. Sally was extremely friendly and responsive to any messages. She really went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. I’m so happy with the memories made here. Thank you very much for a magical stay.

We stayed at Shirley's place for a night for our little blue penguins trip at Timaru. The place is absolutely lovely, and our room is located on the ground floor where we have a living room and a large balcony of our own. We really appreciated Shirley's hospitality and her serving us a nice New Zealand breakfast in the dining room on the first floor (where the host stays). We couldn't feel more at home and peaceful at Shirley's place, 5 stars!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay on the farm! It's perfect with kids, there's so many animals and a nice little playground. Our kids loved to feed the animals and to play with the family dog. Lisa was very friendly and available to answer our questions. The fresh bread, honey, jam, butter and eggs in the morning made for a yummy breakfast, and it was easy to get food and go grocery shopping in nearby Greymouth. We went hiking to see coal creek waterfall and to stunning Pancake rocks. The room is small but impeccable and has everything you need to prepare simple meals. The only little discomfort is walking over the terrace to the bathroom when it's cold at night, so make sure to bring a warm pair of socks in the cold season :)

Sheryl’s place is an absolute must for visiting New Zealand’s South Island! We stumbled on her place in a last minute booking, avoiding rain, and ended up staying another night because of how lovely our experience was. Sheryl is incredibly welcoming and friendly, and we loved chatting with her. Her house is not only stunning, but steps away from Lake Hawea— a must stay!

🌸’Exceptional Hospitality, Highly Recommend’!!🌸 A beautiful warm home with an absolutely Gorgeous host!. Gina was so welcoming, going over and above by making me breakfast, I was very spoilt! Thank you Gina, it was so lovely to meet you!

Had a great stay. Lyn was helpful and friendly. The room was modern and well furnished with a lot of small touches which made our stay very comfortable. I would recommend this place totally. In my opinion it deserves seven stars.

Great overnight stay. The bed was super comfy, and the breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed chatting with Rosemary over breakfast. A warm and friendly host who we'd happily stay with again.

Thanks so much Doug and Rose for having us to stay at your lovely home. We had a lovely stay. We really appreciated your genuine warmth and hospitality. Chris loved talking about music with Doug. Beautiful home and sea views, very comfortable bed, lovely bathroom... oh yes and thank you so much for the yummy breakfast - we felt spoilt!

We were looked after Kat who was amazing and very responsive. Place was in a good location, close to all the main amenities. Off road parking was a bonus!

Sue非常热情，给了我们非常好的住宿体验，房间很温馨也很温暖，景色一绝，堪称凯库拉最美民宿，晚上在房间阳台观星可以看到银河，房间也很干净，Sue还给我准备点心，早上的早餐还有热牛奶，特别好的房屋，强烈推荐大家来住

Kate, Andrew and family were amazing hosts. The room was beautiful and included touches that made us really feel at home. Stand outs were the wonderfully home made breakfasts that Kate made to dietary restrictions, the brilliant recommendations in their online guidebook, and the fantastic scenery. All in all it was an amazing stay with proactive hosts and we would love to stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Marie and John are very friendly and warm hosts. We felt very comfortable. Marie gave us good tips. It is a wonderful place to relax. The breakfast is prepared with a lot of love. The room with bathroom is very comfortably furnished. From the terrace you have a wonderful view of the sea.

Rebecca is so nice.Her house is beautiful and tidy，also it's comfy.

Such a lovely place to stay! The room was warm and inviting—just what we needed during the holidays. Our host went above and beyond by making us fresh coffee every morning, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. Everything was clean and super comfortable. We felt really well looked after and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kristy's AirBnB. The accommodation was perfect—exactly as pictured—and incredibly comfortable. Parking was a breeze, and Kristy was a fantastic host. We truly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be returning in the future.

Highly recommended. Kay's place was very comfortable and immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bed linen and furnishings of high quality. Kay was very friendly and helpful and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Kays place is within a few minutes walk of restaurants and a good supermarket. The continental breakfast was delicious and Kay's homemade marmalade the best I have tasted.

What a lovely place. I felt like home. The apartment was clean, modern and cosy.
