Beauty on The Bay - Best location in Timaru!
very comfortable home to take a break. Great bars and restaurants at your door.

Seascape Beachside Apartment A
We loved staying here. It was perfect after a day of exploring The Catlins. Everything was simple and tasteful, but also extremely comfortable. The bed was fantastic! Great to have the hotel next door with good food too.

Waimairi Beach, a delightful sanctuary to relax in
Beth and Gary were very accommodating and to be supplied start goods for breakfast was unbelievable. We appreciated it. I would definitely stay here again and will be recommending to friends

Kaka Point Views Apartment 1
Lindsay's place at Kaka Point was excellent. We just stayed one night but the place provides the perfect location, amenities, and outstanding views. We all in our family of four unanimously agreed we should have spent more time at Kaka Point at Lindsay's place..

Sea Views, Stunning Sunsets, Comfy Apartment
Perfect location for us close to a friend’s house on the waterfront. Easy walk to three restaurants and we used the bikes supplied to bike to Tahunanui Beach. Great balcony but a little noisy at times which can expected for the waterfront location beside the road. We would certainly stay again.

Tahunanui hills hide away
April went above and beyond to accommodate us and our baby. Providing an extra highchair and portacot. A beautiful, clean place.

Idyllic Beachfront Stay ᐧ Bayview 170 | Apt. One

Peaceful St Clair Beach Retreat
We had a fabulous stay at Jo & Jeff's place, it was perfect space. A great location and facilities. The bed linen and towels were very high quality, the kitchen was well equipped and the location unbeatable. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again.

Coastal country cottage w/dark skies (entire home)
This was a great place to stay for a genuine Golden Bay holiday. The house has a great bach vibe, is near the beach and handy to attractions. The house had everything we needed and check -in was a breeze.

Paradise on Pandora
Beautiful Home, throughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect for families with having 2 living areas/lounges. Plenty of space to relax, great indoor outdoor flow. Couldnt have found a better place if we tried. We will definitely be back again.

Beachfront Bach - retro at the beach
An amazing spot to spend some perfect days in Christchurch / South New Bristol. The beach is directly vis-à-vis which makes it special. The outdoor bathtub is a nice Extra Feature!

Absolute Beachfront Oasis with Sea Views & Hot Tub
One of the best beachside places in the world that I have ever stayed at - and I’m nearly 54 - so I’ve stayed at a few!!

Beachside Bliss - Redcliffs
Great house, very private, nicely furnished, comfortable. Great kitchen facilities, washing machine, Lovely location, great walks to cafes and restaurants. Supermarket close by via car. Spotlessly clean. Host was very responsive.

Willow & Waves - Huge outdoor space & Full kitchen
We loved staying at Kelly’s. Great friendly communication, comfy beds and we felt right at home. Will definitely stay again.

Private Hideaway with Beach & Marina Access
We loved this Air BnB - the space was exactly what we needed for our family of 3. It was beautifully set out and super clean! The veggie garden was a nice surprise, there were lots of basics in the pantry to use etc. The hot tub was fab too! Jo was really responsive and helped us with a couple of small things we needed - thanks! Location to town was great - 5 minute drive. You can also walk via a private walkway to a pub with good food in 5 minutes. Just one thing to be aware of if you have small children - in the garden it leads onto a stream/river and there is no gate. It shouldn’t stop you going but kids will need supervising there. Highly recommend this place!

Astonishing Views Superb Waterfront Apartments
We absolutely loved everything about staying here! It’s more like staying in a luxury hotel. I’ve rented a lot in NZ and especially in Picton. This by far the best place I’ve ever been in. The 5th floor views are mesmerizing from the kitchen, lounge , balcony and master BR. Comfy sofa with a nice TV. And the beds!! Heavenly. Even my grandkids commented on how well they slept and how much they loved the sheets. We could have spent all day watching the boats and ferries but did get out for some nice shopping and great meals. I highly recommend Oxley’s bar and restaurant downstairs. The food was great. We loved this apartment and would love to stay again! Rochelle was great.

Peninsula Stopover
They are so friendly. The place is clean, the bathroom has plenty of hot water, and the yard is beautiful. Pipi is adorable.

Alpenglow - Q1 Apartments
Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Aqua vista
Beautiful location, was ridable to the local MTB park and walkable to the beach. Short drive to Abel Tasman as well. Highly recommend!

Luxurious Lakefront 2 Bedroom Apartment.
I definitely book again if I think about Queenstown. Stunning view, Clean, Good location, Quiet neighbor, Good value.

Old English style 2 bedroom apartment
Clean and comfortable stay, not far from Nelson Airport, with a great restaurant on site.

"The Prospector on Miners"
We loved our stay at The Prospector - it was top notch in terms of appearance and amenities, and with wonderful welcoming touches. We really appreciated the privacy and peacefulness and all the care that has gone into creating a wonderful experience for guests. Carolyn was fantastic to deal with and we would definitely recommend this as a must-stay location in Clyde!

Absolute Waterfront Studio. Unreal CBD location!
Exactly what we needed for short stay in Queenstown. Great location walking to everything. Host is amazing and extremely responsive! Couldn’t have been better.
