Family-friendly vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We've been there for one day, for a nice barbeque with friends and a hot-tub session. The apartment was really clean and we felt comfortable. Chris and Julie are friendly and courteous. We recommend this accommodation!

The house was amazing! It was perfect for a large group from 7 month olds to 70 years old. Very clean and comfy beds. Will deffo stay here again. Thanks Peter.

Ryan’s place was beautiful, lovely and private was a perfect spot to stay for a family members wedding just down the road. Ryan’s communication was great and the place was well presented and lived up to expectations. I highly recommend coming and staying, you won’t regret it!

We really enjoyed staying at Niagara Ridge Retreat. The house was comfortable, view was amazing, and we liked the location.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Everything was super clean and there was lots of space. The hot tub was an added bonus at the end of the day!

Great spot in Queenstown with beautiful views. Hot tub was definitely a bonus and was great with the chilly weather we had. Good walkability, though there is a steep hill to climb heading to and from town. Overall great place

We had a fantastic time staying here. All the bedrooms were a great size and the open plan dining and lounge area was huge. The place was spotless and had a good range of kitchenware. The highlight for our daughters was Indy (super friendly dog) coming over to say hello and the sight of the merino sheep running across the field to get some snacks.

The place was a cute little place that was in an excellent location. It was handy to have a small kitchen & mini fridge to make easy meals. The bathroom was large and nicely decorated. We really loved the hot tub and sauna. The area felt like a spa.

Adrian and Dawn are great hosts, communication from day 1 was outstanding and when we got there the information about the the area was amazing...exactly what you needed to know things to do and places to eat. The house was, clean, tidy and had those little extras that you need like condiments, bathroom wash etc and even washing powder. House is exactly what is described and what made even better were the beds they are comfy! Thanks for great stay.

Check in is easy, spacious apartment, although sofabed is not the most comfortable (as the description), i did slept very well on it. located within the wanaka town. However there are some half eaten chocolate in the chocolate jar and a frozen chocolate milk in the fridge? Maybe it is leftover that have been left by previous guest. So cleanliness on that part might need to be improved, other than that everything was perfect.

A beautiful haven among the trees and the birds. Ina was so welcoming and helpful and we felt very at home. The kids loved the garden with the trampoline and rope swing. It's been our favourite Air B&B of the trip!

Abby’s place was easy to find, and located very near to Wanaka, place was clean and spacious. Abby was really nice as well; i left my wallet and she was very helpful in helping me get it back! Recommended to all!

Located up on a hill with a rainforest microclimate. Clare provides any breakfast foods you might like. Worth the hike.

Lovely place; very spacious for two people and set in a beautiful garden visited by a wild peahen. We enjoyed the visits from their sweet dog and cat too. Conveniently located to Dunedin, grocery shopping and nearby beaches.

We loved our stay at this property. A wonderful homely and spacious home with all the facilities you could want. The hosts were very friendly and responsive and helpful. An awesome base for exploring the West Coast (we went as far north as pancake rocks and as far south as Franz Josef - the drives were beautiful). We loved the close proximity to the beach and the amazing sunsets. Hokitika beach is so stunning we had so much fun. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Our family of 7 and two friends stayed for one evening in transit in Queenstown, after a long haul flight, and Nicky’s place was most convenient and comfortable. Check-in was super easy and we just collapsed into our comfy beds. Nicky was also very helpful when my youngest got sick, really appreciate the warmth of her hospitality!

If your looking for unique, rustic and quirky accommodations just 40 mins north of Christchurch, look no further. Damian’s barn accommodation is such a fun place to stay. From the spa to the turntable with lots of old vinyl to belt out. Topping this off with a glass of his Pinot Noir on the veranda in the afternoon sun was the ultimate escape. Damian is a wonderful host, friendly and welcoming. His breakfast hamper option is very generous and delicious. We were lucky enough to have a tour of the main homestead which has been lovely restored by Damian and also has beautiful BnB accommodation. Two wineries with great food are just minutes down the road. All in all I couldn’t fault this unique accommodation. Thank you Damian for your welcoming hospitality. Cheryl & Donna

Perfect for my needs. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again

We had an amazing stay here in Arrowtown. Modern, easy parking, outside area and a handy walk to town. Exactly as described and Scott was a wonderful Host. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks

Fantastic location, clean and tidy. Lovely and warm on cooler evenings. So handy being 2 minutes walk to the Cadrona pub for dinner.

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.

Have booked the property for me and my girls to prep for my wedding and for us newlyweds to just soak in the moment. Perfect location. Close enough to the wedding venue and restaurants around, spacious, and very peaceful. Love how homey the house is. It was squeaky clean as well. Thank you for sharing your property.

Nice and tidy, great location. Would stay again.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful space with us. It was very relaxing and super handy for us to be able to explore Queenstown, Wanaka, Milford Sound, Arrowtown, Glenorchy and more. Loved the bath and the starry-starry nights!
