Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Southland

We had a great stay in Queenstown! The apartment was perfectly located—right by the lake and just a short walk to the town centre, which made everything super convenient. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, making the whole experience easy and stress-free. The place was also very family-friendly, with thoughtful touches like a high chair, baby gate, and cot provided, which made a big difference for us. Highly recommend!

Belinda was very accommodating. The apartment is very stylish and super clean. Wonderful recommendations and the location was great! Thank you!

We loved our stay in Queenstown and Lyndal's place was a great base for our adventures. It's just outside of town, as advertised, and we were able to walk down to the waterfront for our tours and to eat out. We did have a rental car but our sense is that it would have been quite difficult to drive downtown with very limited parking options. We even had a bit of a hard time finding a place to park near the apartment! I share this just for others to take into account in their planning especially if you have any mobility issues/aren't able to walk into town. Overall though, the apartment was clean and cozy. We loved the king size bed and the balcony for afternoon drinks, and we were grateful to have a crib provided for our baby. The kitchen was impressively well stocked for its small size and we were able to do a bit of our cooking in the apartment (very handy to have a grocery store across the street). I would definitely recommend this place!

We loved staying there, great for kids with sporting equipment and big backyard with soccer goals. Highly recommend.

We had a truely wonderful time in this Wanaka Bach. It is well situated, walking distance to all amenities. The Bach was very comfortable and the fire place was a delight when it got colder. Lynette and Paul are very considerate thoughtful host and nothing was too much trouble.

We love Queenstown and visited this time for 12 nights specifically for mountain biking. Jessica's location was fairly close to the Skyline for mountain bike shuttling, other local mountain biking tracks and only 20 minutes from Coronet Peak. Queenstown village (down town) is only 10 minutes walk. Our 1 bedroom unit was cozy, secure and clean. We had use of a coffee pod machine which was great, an oven so I could roast veggies and although we're not regular TV watches, the unit has Netflix so we could watch the occasional film. The Fresh Choice supermarket is across the road and a smaller grocery shop with more unique healthy produce is only a few minutes walk away. The unit also had private undercover vehicle parking that was great for us to store our Ford Ranger vehicle and our expensive mountain bikes. If you're travelling to Queenstown with skis or bikes and want a clean, secure location, I would recommend checking Jessica's property out.

Julianne’s house is one of the best Airbnb we have stayed. It is located in a quiet part of Wanaka but still very close to the town centre. We love that there are so many bedrooms and bathrooms. My parents and kids all had their own ensuites. The living room is tastefully set up and provides for a space for everybody - reading, working, chilling. Almost every window looks out to a beautiful view. It felt like living inside a picture. The property is within walking distance to Sticky Forest which has walking and bike trials. We appreciated the availability of the bikes and helmets. Thanks Julianne!

We had a lovely time there

Suzanne’s property was the best decision we could have made for our trip. Gorgeous rustic design and a working ranch with deer stock nearby. Halfway between Queenstown and Glenorchy the location was perfect for a quiet retreat after a being out and about in town/nature. There are a few guest houses at the location and everyone was friendly and we had plenty of privacy while not being too isolated. Loved it and would stay again or recommend it to friends. Thanks Suzanne!
