Riverside Airstream Glamping Getaway

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewstoday

We had an awesome stay at Nick’s Airstream! It was clean & cozy and had everything we needed — good quality stuff too. Nick was quick to respond whenever we had a request. Our kids had the best time hanging out by the campfire at night. It was also really cool to find out the Airstream was shipped from the Bay Area, where we’re from. Made it feel even more special. Would totally recommend staying here!

Cambridge Private 2 Bedroom Modern Accommodation

From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were welcomed into a home rather than just a place to stay. Denise went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, offering helpful tips, local recommendations, and making us feel truly valued. The space itself was absolutely incredible—cozy, thoughtfully decorated, and so inviting. It really felt like a home away from home. This stay truly felt like a dream, and I can't thank Denise enough for creating such a warm and wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a special and memorable stay!

The Haven - City Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviews5 days ago

Everything at this property was beautiful! The bed was comfortable & everything was incredibly clean. Details such as coffee, milk, & light breakfast were appreciated. The host even left a special treat for us. The property had its own unique charm….with artwork, well maintained living plants, and an exceptional private backyard space—that was perfect to relax & unwind from a busy day. Lake Rotoroa was easily walkable, but walk to city center/riverwalk/reataurants was about 30 minutes by foot. Overall, would highly recommend staying here! We hope to return again soon.

Stunning Lake Views & Hospital Location

4.6 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews3 months ago

We were so thankful to land at Ksenia’s place - absolutely gorgeous view of the lake and the home was perfect for our families first 2 weeks in NZ. The kitchen is very well stocked. There are 2 heat pumps which made it very comfy in the warmer evenings and the windows all open to allow the air flow as well. We were thankful for the washer and dryer and the security. It is rather exposed to everyone walking/running around on the path around the lake, but we found we enjoyed hearing people chatting a families laughing as they passed and the window coverings provide a ton of privacy when you want that as well.

The bnb was exactly as described. The room was really nice, spacious, comfortable and self-contained with a really lovely sized bathroom . There are basic cooking facilities that can be used and getting in and out was really easy because of the clear instructions. Linh was very responsive and really friendly. The bnb also had a bus stop close by so transport around the city was easy. The one thing to note is that if you are trying to find parking, this is only easily available in the evenings. Overall, would recommend and would return.

There is also a nice view of the hills from the house, Maungatautari etc. Very close to cambridge, and all its cafes, and Carol-Ann prepared us breakfast every morning with her home made bread. Thank you Carol-Ann for a wonderful stay!
