Vacation rentals with a kayak in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The views are awesome and the place was clean and tidy.

Fabulous, as always. Thanks for our "home away from home".

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.

What an amazing place! Perfect in every way peaceful,beautiful everything you need we loved our stay with access to the canoes on the lake ( thanks for the loan of the fishing rod) to the glow worms in the cave at night to the hot tub just perfect.

We had the best stay at this lakeside air bnb, the views were gorgeous and couldn’t have asked for any better! 🤩 perfect stay, we wish we could have stayed longer

A wonderful home in a beautiful location with stunning views. We particularly enjoyed the pool, spa and being able to walk to amazing restaurants and wine bar. Sally and Wayne were friendly helpful hosts. Highly recommend staying

We absolutely loved our time here. Fantastic host and loved the house ( great view, set up, fit out of the house). Also had fantastic weather which meant we used the deck each morning for breakfast. Fantastic stay

Nice place, all as described!

We had a wonderful time at Kotuku Cottage! It's just beautiful. You can sit in the big living room and look out to the tideland right behind the house and the sunlit hill on the other side. Our kids had big fun playing in the mud and water, and if you walk around the corner you're right at the ocean. It's a very quiet and private location but you can easily drive either up to farewell spit, or down to Collingwood (recommended: The Courthouse Café) or further into the golden bay. Highly recommended for a serene stay close to the sea.

We loved our time here. Each night it felt like we were coming back home. It was so easy to relax after a day exploring. We chose this location because it fit well into our itinerary and we are so glad that we did.

We can’t thank Clare, Richard and Annabel enough for welcoming us into their farm. They were so so lovely, and we loved every moment at the cottage. The kids loved running on the big lawn, everything was clean, tidy and obviously well cared for. Richard even showed our toddler were the sheep get shawn. The bays around Port Levy are stunning.

Really enjoyed the stay. Appreciated the flexible check-in and communication/solution regarding item left behind.

We had a great time in Mapua. John and Kim were absolutely lovely and gave us very good recommendations for activities. For example we could use their bikes to go to Rabbit Island. We also had fun using their canoe. The wharf with bars and restaurants is only a short walk from the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Very cozy house with a lot of family atmosphere

Our family of four had a great time at Tui Cottage. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable and warm. The view and beach access is amazing. We appreciated being able to use the kayaks. Throughly recommend.

We loved Louise’s place and had a wonderful time there in her beautiful garden as well. Lovely meeting her and her friendly dogs also! The cottage is charming with all the amenities you’d need - we were welcomed with freshly picked raspberries that were delightful. Located next to all the best coffee shops and restaurants in Clyde, we would love to come back and stay for longer next time.

Great place, perfect for a grouo

This was an absolute hidden gem! David was incredibly hospitable and we felt right at home with all the special touches. I really appreciate all the effort that was put in, to making this stay feel oh so homely. Thank you once again. Joe and Za 😊

Great spot 100m walk to the beach. Just down the road from the boat ramp. Had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Super easy communication and instructions.

Another amazing holiday in paradise! Couldn’t ask for better, thank you!

Nice chilled holiday at a good location

Lovely little place with all you need and a beautiful view from the deck, we loved that it was pet friendly too. David was extremely friendly and accomodating, some treats were left for us on arrival too. A good base to go exploring or just enjoy the peace and quiet with the bay close by. We would love to go back again.

Jayne and William were warm and friendly and really took care of us. Right from the time of booking till the time they loaded up our luggage on the shuttle. Jayne was very proactive in giving us clear directions to find the place. she was very responsive while we were enroute to the cabin. The cabin itself is cozy, clean and well maintained. The basic amenities will be pretty much everything you require - a stove, compost toilet, and shower. We regret that we couldn't spend more time there and had to move on to our next post on the Queen Charlotte track. The location is spectacular and very close to the water so a quick dip or a kayak would be lovely in this place. All in all, a very pleasant time in a lovely place with wonderful people. Would recommend!

Great little cabin, nice view of getting up in the morning to open the windows, Keren should be a family home with a lot of care, and the small yard is very clean and refined.
