Large 2 Bed 2 Bath Apartment, walk to town & lake
Good place to stay, very helpful and communication was awesome, went extra mile to accommodate for a baby

Relaxing Getaway
Nadia’s townhouse was the perfect place to stay during our time in Wanaka. It is well equipped with everything needed while you’re away from home, and the short walk across the carpark to great coffee and food was a highlight. Thank you for a great location to enjoy for the past few days

Luxury Eco Apt w/ Pool, Gym & Sauna - Adults only
Incredible airbnb, I would absolutely stay here again. Private home tucked away in a beautiful landscape. Home was clean, had all the useful appliances, wonderful shower + kitchen. Bed was comfortable, wifi was fast. You have your own entrance and parking area. Hosts were so welcoming and friendly. There are donkeys on the adjacent property area that you can feed which was the highlight. The gym and sauna are underneath the airbnb listing but we were so active in town that we did not end up using them. Short drive to town for restaurants. Highly recommend, perfect for 2 people.

Brand New 4bed Townhouse Wanaka
Dean’s place was very comfortable and clean. It is less than 10minutes away from Lake Wānaka, so is extremely convenient. Perfect for a big family.

Belvedere Apartment 4 minute walk to Wanaka
We stayed here for over a month and had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely ideal. It's tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, yet just a 5-minute walk to downtown Wanaka and the lake. It felt very private and peaceful, with no traffic noise, just the sound of the little stream/brook, which we could see and hear from both the bedroom window and the living room balcony. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and we cooked nearly every night. Elizabeth, our host, was incredibly responsive and helped us sort out a minor internet issue right away. We also really appreciated the hospitality—Mike, our local point of contact, even lent us hiking poles for some nearby trails. Overall, a fantastic stay in a beautiful spot. Would absolutely return!

Retro 3 bedroom
Great space, not too far of a walk into town but just far enough where it felt quiet and private. Perfect for our group of 5. Paul was friendly, very responsive and accommodating!

Cleland Loft, Sunny Mountain Hideaway
We needed a quiet place to return to each night & Pia’s place was secluded & tranquil. The mountain backdrop is spectacular & it was extremely comfortable & well appointed. We had to go back & forth to Luggate & Pia’s Place had great access & simply enabled us to enjoy Wanaka for meals & be with friends in Luggate. It was so pristinely clean & the sun & garden patch was a welcome retreat. Thank you P & D

Mount Iron Apartment
Victoria’s place was just exactly what we needed for a family of 4 adults. We arrived later at night and Victoria was being thoughtful to turned the heat on for us and left the door unlocked for us so that we could just have an easy access to the house after a long drive. The place was very spacious, cozy and situated in a peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Luxurious New 2 Bed/2 Bath Apartment in Wanaka
Excellent host. Great apartment and location. Highly recommend.

Riverside Getaway
Great spot if you want to stay just outside of Wanaka. The space is cozy and comfortable. We didn’t make use of the bikes as we should have, we didn’t know just how amazing the local trail loop is until we stayed in Wānaka a few days later and rented bikes (the trail is especially beautiful as you come around lake wanaka), so be sure to take advantage of doing the loop with the bikes while staying here. Jill was very kind and offered eggs from her coop as well as tomatoes from her garden, both very delicious. Highly recommend doing the river jet boat w/the company that is 45 minutes away (spectacular views on the way there) Jill can provide the co name. I’d recommend also seeing the “blue pools” that are close to the jet boat tour.

Cozy & Spacious Apartment - Perfect For Families
Quite area. Away from downtown.

Sunrise Bay serenity.
Lots of space in the place. Quiet side of town. We had some lovely walks from the place. The scones Edgewater were amazing! Wanaka is a beautiful town.

bespoke studio
I absolutely loved this home! It was perfect for a couple nights stay. The bed was extra comfortable! My only complaint was that it gets pretty warm without an air conditioner (visited during summer/fall months), but definitely cools down at night. Would absolutely recommend!

Cosy apartment with a lake view & close to town
Really lovely apartment 10 mins stroll to centre of town. Spotlessly clean. Quiet location, free car parking. Fabulous deck with great views over the Lake. Wanaka is fabulous and we would certainly book this apartment again.

Comfortable Wanaka Apartment
We had a great stay at Gideon’s place. Very homely with great views, kitchen is well stocked, and the place is close to town (with a pretty decent decline/incline but we still managed to do it with a pram). There is a nice coffee truck about 10min walk and a children’s park nearby. We felt right at home and would stay again. Thanks Gideon

Rata lodge apartment
From the moment we stepped into the guesthouse, we were captivated by the warm and cozy environment. The room was clean and tidy, with complete and convenient facilities. This stay has undoubtedly been one of the highlights of our trip.
Apartment rentals with a hot tub

Alp Studios - Brand New, Central and Accessible.
A beautiful modern apartment. Perfect for our family of 5. Great location. Loved all the trimmings. The most comfortable bedding. Enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking. Have already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a fantastic stay in Wanaka.

Cardrona Accommodation Villa 38
Lovely place in a great location. Close walk to the hotel and a minute drive to ski field entrance. Lovely furnishings in the home and well equipped kitchen. The temperature did drop one night, even in summer. It would be good if heaters could be provided all year around. Our daughter woke cold in the night.

Superb Studio in Iconic Cardrona
We had a great stay at Tish's place. The studio has everything you need and was clean & tidy when we arrived. We only stayed one night but loved the location and proximity to the Cardrona Hotel as we were there for a birthday dinner. The pool area is great and we were happy to make use of it on a nice sunny day. Would definitely stay again.

New Dungarvon Retreat.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The space was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities we needed to feel comfortable. Julie was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent communication, ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. The location was perfect—close to local attractions but still peaceful and private. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Apartment 26 | Lakefront apartment | Pool | Spa
This place is right on the edge of the lake, just a stones-throw to town. The outlook is stunning, the accommodation is so cozy and homely - it was like living in something from a magazine.

Villa 44 (2326 Cardrona Villas)
A lovely relaxing stay for our wee family. Kiddos absolutely loved the pool.

Wanaka Lakefront Studio
The home was exactly as pictured and described. It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. We loved the location and the balcony to watch sunset. Check in and check out were easy too. Thanks for a great stay, would love to stay here again some day!

Wanaka Luxury Apartments
easy to communicate with, we're meant to arrive earlier and park the car before check in, but ran late so let them know and they informed us we had been upgraded to a 2 bed place for free! we had heaps of space and we ended up getting our own rooms instead of sharing a bed! the pool and hot tub were conveniently located and we had perfect weather for it. would 100% stay again! thank you!
