Hotel 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

Such a cozy, cute hotel and with the tram running right in front! Lots of attractions nearby and good restaurants.

We loved our stay at Eric’s. It is a perfect base for exploring Abel Tasman which we did. Sharing the kitchen worked well and we met people from all over the world. It is always lovely to chat to people who also love travelling. There was plenty of space to sit outside and the gardens were beautiful. It did look slightly different to the photos as they were obviously taken a few years ago and lots of the bushes etc have now grown quite a bit but I was still able to recognise it from the photos. Breakfast is plentiful with eggs from Barb’s chickens and lots of options of bread, pastries and cereals. The bed was massive and the shower super powerful! We would definitely recommend and will visit again if we manage to return to NZ!

This is the most special place we stayed in our 4 weeks in New Zealand. The lodge feels absolutely like home and casts a spell you will never forget. Pete was a such a warm and funny presence—always ready with a quip or a laugh. The room we had, and the main house, are beautifully designed and the interiors are warm, authentic and serene. Extremely comfortable bed and top notch bathroom facilities. You will definitely want to stay longer than whatever time you have booked.

The hostel provides everything you need for a great stay in Christchurch and the staff is great. Anthony, thanks again for being our lifesaver!

We loved our stay at The Barn Killin! Hugh and Dwayne were wonderful, welcoming hosts. Highly recommend opting for dinner at the house, as well - it was delicious! Lake Ohau is beautiful and peaceful, and it was a perfect place to stop for a night. Hopefully we will be able to make it back again someday!

Can’t say enough positive things about this stay! From the moment I arrived Karen and Nigel made me feel like family, welcoming me with a smile, and offering a homemade dinner! Lovely conversation and two individuals who bring a smile to your face. The bed was incredibly comfy, the bathroom spotless, the breakfast in the morning a great touch as well as the gym and spa. Was incredible to feel like I was at home and to spend the night conversing with Nigel and Karen and learning more about NZ! Do yourself a favor and if you’re in the West coast, stay here!

I highly recommend! Amazing views, pure nature around you and really close to start (or end) the Routeburn track (it was the reason why we choose this accommodation).

We had a great stay, fabulous location on waterfront. Could walk everywhere. Not so private if that’s what you are looking for. We enjoyed the little town feel and being in the centre of it. The room was beautiful and bath amazing. Definitely recommend!

Great place to stay. Easy check in and and check out. Very clean. Good location, close to everything.

We were flabbergasted at how gorgeous and private this place was, while being super close to town (1min walk). We loved the small courtyard garden with a wee view and how quiet it was meaning the bird song and stream were our backdrop. If you ever think of selling, give us a holler! 😉

Great location and short walk to restaurants and cafes. Parking was convenient too. Unit was spacious and clean.

Nice, clean little place that makes for a great base of operations for the Marlborough wine region. Friendly hosts with great communication as well.

Beautiful location. View amazing. Beautiful apartment. So comfortable and feels like home. Top-notch custom service. Great parking. Couldn’t recommend more. Thank you!

a nice relaxing stay in downtown Akaroa. Close to the main shops and restaurants it was a great location.

If this place is available, book it! My husband and I stayed three nights during our honeymoon and could not get over the majestic views from the window. There are beautiful murals of NZ nature in the sitting room and bathroom that added extra charm. The king bed is very comfortable. The room and communal spaces do not have a true kitchen so as long as you’re not hoping to cook your own meals, this airbnb has it all. We will definitely return next time we visit Queenstown.

Thanks Stacey for having us. A wonderful place and Stacey made ua feel at home. Great being able to head north to Hokitika or Sth to the glaciers.

Well presented, clean and comfortable. Thank you for a great stay

Great place to stay for our family. Very clean amenities and a spectacular view. Nice and quiet, would recommend the Haka House backpackers when travelling around NZ

The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host was helpful and easy to communicate with. The location was convenient, making it a good spot for our stay.

Perfect spot to stay whilst attending a wedding at the Lodge.

Great location with clean facilities and nice common areas. Looked like the photos and would stay again!

Haka House is a typical hostel, very conveniently located a short walk from the town centre. It had everything we needed pre and post walking the Milford Track. Reception staff were friendly and our double bunk room was fine for our needs. Recommended for budget travellers.
