Boutique hotel vacation rentals in New Zealand

Chris's place is located in a beautiful setting overlooking the coast, as far as the eye can see. The place was comfortable, clean and we had the best time ever.

I LOOOVE this!!! The unit is spacious, VERY clean, and a great location with wonderful views! I would have loved to stay for one more day just to relax in the unit as it’s incredible, has everything needed!

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!

We found it the best place we’ve stayed in New Zealand. Access to the sauna,beach,pool table and hot tubs makes this place perfect to relax. The photos don’t do this place justice !! Simon is a very chilled host and makes the place even better to stay.

We arrived at Ghost Lodge after a few long days of riding. We had booked the beach side hot tub to soak our weary bones that evening. Simon met us and showed us around, it is the perfect spot and has been renovated to perfection, down to every detail. Plenty of spaces to chill,relax or chat with other guests. A fabulous beach setting, a well designed and equipped kitchen, and a lovely bathroom. Safe parking for motorbikes even chain wax on hand if required! Highly recommend staying here and a soak in the hot tub, we saw heaps of stars and satellites (including the star link) it’s still warm enough for a bath in the morning watching the sunrise - perfect start to the day. A gorgeous place all round.

An older hotel that's had the cabin rooms with ensuite renovated at some stage. Great value :)

We really enjoyed our stay after walking up the Pinnacles. It is very spacious and has everything you need.

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.

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.

The "unit" was exactly as the website describes and shown in the pictures. It is a very old Hotel in the middle of Timaru; can hardly get more central, with good views of the beach and park from the front verandah. But it is an old hotel which is in the process of slowly being renovated, so there are a few areas in need of repair, but these areas have no impact on the room/area where we were accommodated. The room itself was reasonably large, with an adequate shower, separate, potentially communal "kitchen" - although we had it to ourselves. I am not sure if that is the policy of the owner. We were given two drink vouchers to a local restaurant which we did go to, and had a great meal. A bonus was meeting the host's mother who is a great water colour artist and some of her work was on display. Unfortunately the host was called away on the day we arrived, so we didn't get to chat to them about their "work in progress". Am looking forward to that when next we stay in Timaru.

We had a great overnight stay after our long haul flight. The motel was a 15minute bus ride from the airport with a stop right outside the motel.There was a mini store across the road so able to get a meal ingredients so a decent meal in the room.Otherwise plenty restaurants on the street.That same bus stop was the route to the city centre and the beautiful park was only 100 metres away. The room was clean comfy and a good shower.The guy at reception was very nice and helpful

A truly memorable stay. The spacious rooms were modern and well presented with luxurious furniture, blinds and curtains creating ambience, yet warm and comfortable. The big bed also had luxe linen and a choice of pillows. The same attention to detail was applied to the complimentary food. We were spoilt with an array of sweets and beverages on arrival. Breakfast was also a feast for the eyes, with a vaiety of flavours and generous servings. The quaint ensuite had the same luxurious linen and bathroom products. The private, large, outdoor spa (and candles) were appreciated and added to our getaway. The location was perfect, only minutes drive to a supermarket, chemist and bar. The lovely, landscaped property was private and secure. Everything we needed and the hosts were very obliging.

This was such a beautiful, cozy, peaceful place to stay. We loved waking up to the surroundings and fresh breakfast every morning. Our doggo was also treated like a princess and had lots of space to run around and play ball then take a nap on the deck. Super convenient location that had lots of privacy, everything you need they’ve thought of! My partner loved the pool table and games room. I’m currently pregnant and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! Can’t thank Lisa and her husband enough for having us and going above and beyond. Lots of love, thought and effort has gone into this place and it shows. Will be back ✨

Overall I really enjoyed staying here. It was well worth the cost paid, central to amenities, modern. Absolutely loved the shower! Would stay again, highly recommended

Staff had a great stay at the airbnb and the owner allowed pets which was great. - not bad feedback about the place from the staff member. Please make it more clear about the cost of pets as we booked 2 nights with a pet, but this only included a charge for 1 of the nights so was abit confusing. Thanks for having them stay!
