Wanaka Lake Studio (New)
We loved our stay at Gills. Place was immaculate and matched the pictures. Gill was very responsive with any questions and gave excellent recommendations. We only had one night but wish we could have stayed longer

Garden Cabin with Mountain Views- Outdoor Bath!
We had a great time staying at Amanda’s lovely place. She made us instantly feel welcome, offered us to prepare the sauna, do our laundry inside and let us use the dryer in the garage. She was very friendly, helpful, but also gave us our space and privacy. Absolutely recommend this place!! We found lake Hawea even more stunning than Wanaka (which is just 15mins away)!

Arrowtown Lodge Luxury Garden Cottage
Awesome walking location to all Arrowtown main st . Spa was well received after golf and biking activities . Outdoor lounge is great under cover for summer rains and comfy. Everything you need here . We loved it .

Peak-Sportchalet - 2-bedroom Chalet
Really lovely house with a sweet little garden at the back. We were travelling with two small children and it was perfect. A lovely distance from the town and really nice walks nearby. The house was spotless and had super comfy beds and an amazing shower. We would definitely return. Thank you so much for having us!

Sunny & Modern, Garden Cottage
Great place to stay with stunning views and very peaceful. The cottage had everything we needed

Charming self-contained unit
Fantastic long weekend stay at Shantelles place. Well located just a short walk into Arrowtown for all the lovely restaurants and cafes. Warm and cosy for the colder nights. Shantelle was extremely helpful, responding to questions quickly and allowed me to have a dress delivered in advance of arriving!

Minaret Ridge Retreat
Jay’s place was beautiful. The surrounding were very peaceful relaxing. The town nearby had lots of great food choices and plenty of good hiking close by.

Delightful Detached Apartment
We really enjoyed our stay, as it was so homely, quiet and beautifully decorated. Rosie & Peter did everything they could to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We had everything we needed, including thoughtful touches & Vegemite. Plenty of suggestions for bike rides, and the use of a bike.

Poa Cita, secluded alpine comfort
We had an absolutely amazing and relaxing time at the Pao Cita surrounded by nothing but fields and beautiful sunrise and sunset mountain view’s. Our highlight was the cutest dog who came to say hello when we arrived. The place has the perfect location to explore Wānaka and the whole region. :)

Peninsula Bay Guest House
We had a lovely stay, very cosy spot and nice and warm with great afternoon sun coming in. Had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Jet the dog was so sweet and well behaved!

Relaxing 1 bedroom studio with a private deck area
Very convenient location, just a few minutes drive from the town center! It was nice and cozy unit in a quiet neighborhood… Sandy was very responsive and helpful with addressing our needs. Great stay and would recommend!

Glencairn
We've now stayed in 9 Airbnbs on this trip to New Zealand. They were all great, but this one of Danielle's in Arrow Junction near Queenstown, was by far the best. Absolutely stunning views from a farm hillside of the valley and surrounding mountains. Unique design, well equipped, and comfy. Great deal for a great stay.

Gold miners Arrowtown retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Sarah’s place and was a beautiful and cosy place to stay and very close to town and right on the river as well

Self-Contained Wanaka GuestHouse
I had a great stay. Amenities were nearby. The beautiful surroundings were nearby. And where I needed to be was very close by. I loved the privacy. I loved being able to cook. I love the bathroom. And overall, I would say my trip was excellent because I had a nice and comfy place to stay.

Peaceful Private unit, a rural farmstay
Especially loved all of the extra, unexpected touches like the gorgeous soaps, shampoo and conditioner, chocolates, milk and tea + coffee. The linen was beautiful and the scenery so peaceful. Just outside of town so you feel like you’re slightly outside of the buzz, which we loved. The peaceful nights ensured we slept so well. It felt like home. Thank you to Holly & Cam for sharing your wonderful space with us.

Kowhai Cottage, Dublin Bay Wanaka
This is a cracking location, 5 mins out of town with epic views and space for the kids to run around. The house is beautiful with homely touches through out and Kristy-Lee was very welcoming. Highly rated

Woodpecker Studio
What a delightful and comfortable bnb. We had a wonderful stay in Rob’s place. It was beautifully presented, private and comfortable. It is beautiful appointed, modern, clean and spacious. I’d definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

The Little Stone Cottage
The Little Stone Cottage is an absolute gem—quaint, cozy, and perfectly located just a seven-minute drive from town. We especially loved capturing photos of the iconic Wanaka Tree; its beauty is truly breathtaking. Janet is a fantastic Superhost, living up to the name! She has thoughtfully added all the little touches that make a stay extra special, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend staying here for two nights—it’s the perfect stopover. Visiting in April was an incredible experience, as the vibrant autumn colors painted the landscape in breathtaking hues. Thank you, Janet, for a wonderful stay! Lynnette & Scott

Gunn Rd Premium Bunkhouse Cottage with Logburner
We had an excellent stay and Tish was a great host. The living area was cosy and the beds were super comfy. The layout was great and the bathroom was very clean. It was everything we needed for our weekend trip!

Cosy Cottage in Wanaka
Beautiful cottage. Clean and well equipped. Very comfortable. Conveniently located.

Valley View Cottage, Wānaka.
Tom and Chelsea's place contains everything you could possibly need while visiting Wānaka, and is found in a great location! It is well looked after and was exactly what we were expecting.

Rural Retreat minutes from Lake Hāwea
Rossana’s place was beautiful in rural area yet close enough to city! If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay this is highly recommended. The place lives upto its expectation in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. Would definitely come and stay again.

Sleepy Albert Town Sleepout
Tim was super handy and helpful. I booked this place after flights got canceld and after a 14hr day it was perfect seeing a friendly face n a easy place to sleep.

Comfortable, Modern, Quiet
One of the best Airbnb's we stayed in during our time in New Zealand! It was super clean, the bed was comfy, it was extremely spacious and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. You can tell the hosts care for their studio and keep it well maintained. Great location - far away enough from the hustle and bustle of the town but a short drive away from all necessary amenities. Parking on the drive directly in front of the studio was great too. We'd highly recommend staying here if you're stopping in Wānaka!
