We loved this peaceful, spotless refuge while on grandparent duty. Deb and James were friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed hearing about local amenities such as the outstanding Opuke hot pools! Thank you.

Kowhai Cottages - Rustic Charm & Stargazing Oasis
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the cottage. It was so cosy and everything had been thought of - comfortable bed, skylight for stargazing, outdoor bath and even slippers. We appreciated all the baby items that were set up and the toys and books. It’s in a great location and a short drive to so many great walks and scenic spots. Thank you Sean & Jana for creating such a special place.

Great little house to stay. We were only there one night but plenty of walking and biking trails around the house. The house was nice and warm when we arrived late in the evening!

Lovely place to stay, very private and was able to see the stars very clearly at night, great distance away from everything aswell, would highly recommend, definitely will stay again

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Snowshoe Cottage, amidst stunning scenery in quiet and peaceful surrounding area and fantastic walks. We especially loved the amazing sunrise and sunset from just outside her house, virtually at the doorstep! We appreciate the comfortable furnishings and thoughtful decor throughout the house.

Marama Cottage @ Two Moons Farm
Caitlin and her family are awesome, the property is beautiful, the area is quiet, and the house is spacious and comfortable. I had everything I needed and more. Caitlin was super friendly and helpful, and I just can't say enough good things about the experience. 11/10!

Perfect Getaway in Fairlie. Absolutely stunning location with big driveway, stargazing thru bedroom roof—felt like a dream. The house was spotless, with a fantastic washroom. Very warm. Elizabeth and Allan were amazing hosts and made everything easy. Pantry was full with many spices, eggs and everything you need. Peaceful, beautiful, and beyond clean. Would go back again.

Waipara Valley Escape wineries|country walks|fire
Thank you, Chris and Rachel - we loved our stay at your cottage. It was so peaceful, cozy, and a beautiful place to wake up and come back to after a day of exploring the region. We would love to come back soon! The cottage was better than expected, and there were some lovely touches (fresh cut flowers, fruit etc...). We definitely recommend requesting to book the cottage if you are planning a trip to the region!

Charming Rose Cottage, Akaroa
Rose Cottage is my "go to" air bnb in Akaroa. Surrounded by bush and birdsong, it's charming. Very private yet walking distance to the village. Clean and inviting, and not too much personal clutter which we really appreciated. We were toasty warm with the heatpump & there's a fire we could have lit too, but chose not to. Lucy was quick to contact us, and really helpful. It's the perfect Akaroa cottage for 2-4 guests.

The Old Orchard Cottage
Beautiful home, so lovely to have the fire set. Ready to be lit on arrival . Ideal location for my daughter’s wedding. The host was fantastic, easy to deal with. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend the Vulcan hotel for meals and drinks.

Magnolia Cottage
Comfortable, clean and beautiful setting for our short trip to Pleasant Point. Ann was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Cass Crib | Lake Tekapo
We stayed two wonderful nights in Cass Crib. The view is so spectacular words cannot describe it. We were lucky that it had snowed which made our stay even more magical. The kitchen is well equipped to cook a meal or two at home but is local to cafes and restaurants if wanting to eat out. The home itself is very tidy and clean with lots of space. The staff are so incredibly friendly and helpful it was a pleasure to meet them on our journey of the South Island (they had some great recommendations of places to visit and eat at). 10/10 we would recommend to other people to stay.

Little Melrose Cottage
A lovely find in Christchurch. Quiet location but walkable to both the city and Merivale. Cottage was really cute, had a well equipped kitchen and one of the best showers we've had at a holiday rental in a long time!

Eclectic Cottage 2 minutes to airport
What a lovely surprise finding the Eclectic Cottage. Sharon made us feel so welcomed with the cottage warmed for our arrival. Sharon truly has thought of everything you may need. It is a wonderful stay close to the Airport too. The sweet touches with a welcome treat on arrival and on departure will not be forgotten by us. We appreciated the local knowledge shared with us. Thank you very much Row & Chris 😁

Country Cottage
A modern, comfortable, pristine cottage with a gorgeous outlook. Private, secure and perfect for our stay. Thank you Amy for providing such a lovely Airbnb, we would happily stay again.
