Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We loved our stay at Charmaine’s. The space huge!! Which was great for the kids - aged 10, 8 & 5. We all loved the table soccer! The house was really well set up and beautiful in its aesthetics. Beautiful artworks, decorations & furniture. We visited in Autumn, with some chilly mornings, and it was warm and cosy. We loved the fire in the evenings and the house is well insulated, double glazed and has nice thick curtains. The beds and bedrooms are also very accomodating and comfy. Charmaine is a really thoughtful host. We appreciated the goods in the kitchen, the books & magazines, the kids room, the extra keys, and of course Charmaine’s communication. The house is also super close to town and with views of the harbour. We live Lyttleton! Top stay, would love to visit again 🤗

Excellent air bnb, well appointed, great location and a fab place to stay in central Christchurch. Hosts were communicative, caring and met all our needs. Great value for the money.

We had a wonderful stay at Jos place, it had everything we needed. My boys really loved the games. It was only a short walk into town and the lake which was very convenient.

This was our second stay at this place and we love the location for ease of arriving and getting into the city. It's also great for our dog to have access to the garden. Again well presented inside and out. already have our next city break booked!!

Beautiful house and yard, great location, helpful/responsive host, and quick/easy check-in (lockbox)!

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.

Thanks for having us, a great house and location - just what the guys needed after a long day of travel and a arvo ferry crossing. Thanks :)

Excellent stay in a quiet neighbourhood. Close to the airport and served us well for a night’s stay right after we landed. Has a private bathroom, washing machine, and even a TV. Plenty of plug points to charge everything you need. Friendly hosts and an even friendlier dog. Would recommend to everyone.

Had the best time. Thanks to our fantastic hosts. They provided a unique stay, by sharing their magic slice of the world.

We loved our stay! The house has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Although it’s older it’s great to have the pool, and there are lovely shaded areas outside too. Would happily recommend or stay again - thank you!

Host very nice showing us around. Beautiful area with farm animals next door but close to town as well. Clean and functional spa (ie jets worked, pretty rare at rentals) much appreciated after hiking the Queen Charlotte.

Lovely place to stay with pur young son. He enjoyed the animals and playground. Place had lots of character. Thanks a lot!

Lovely spot for our one night stay in Wanaka. Very clear instructions for check in and nice quiet location. The studio was just as pictured and had a really great vibe. Hosts were very helpful, would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Love the living room area. Kitchen has everything we need. This place is much better than the pictures was show in the listing. Unfortunately because the weather, it was cloudy the two days we stay in Tekapo, so we aren’t able to see the stargazing. But if the sky is clear, this will be the place you want to stay！

Wonderful stay at Matt and Lucy's. the home was well appointed with everything we needed. the pool and the spa was very good and we felt super relaxed and comfortable here. would happily recommend.

Stunning, spacious mid century house, big homely kitchen and beautiful peaceful gardens. Short walk to the park at the end of the street. Gas heater kept the home toasty during cooler nights. Sarah was a very responsive and accommodating and we would definitely rebook if given the opportunity.

We had a fantastic stay at Debra's place in Wanaka! The house has a perfect layout for a family and is such a lovely spot for creating special memories. The kids loved the big selection of Lego, books, and games, and we really appreciated having a playground and park just around the corner. It’s also an easy, quick walk into town. A really comfortable, well-equipped home—we’d happily stay again!

Absolutely gorgeous, I cannot praise this place enough! So stunning and got to enjoy nature at its finest. Loved the hot tub, hot water in the shower and even got to listen to rain on the tun roof in a dreamy little stay.

Thankyou Gary for being such a great host! The house was cozy and clean and my partner and his parents said how kind and respectful you were! Thankyou again for such a great place to stay!

Loved the view from the sliding glass door of the trees -- especially beautiful with fall colors. Enjoyed their friendly dog and cat greeting us each time we came in! Was wonderfully quiet! Continental breakfast was better than most. As described, no kitchen, but lots of silverware, plates, etc. to use. Comfortable beds. Helpful and friendly host. Refrigerator was extra small as was the bathroom sink (was so small it was hard to brush my teeth!).

Had another wonderful stay on our way back from Nelson to Queenstown. Marianne had the room nice and warm for us on arrival as we didn’t arrive until later in the evening. A very cosy and welcoming stop on our way home.

Great accommodation, loved the pictures on the wall and the Vanguard Beetlebum at the top of the stairs. This unit particularly good with great outdoor areas!!

This was our favorite stay of the entire trip! The farm is absolutely lovely — we got to meet so many adorable animals, including alpacas and Highland cows (they were so cute when they chewed!). The host even took us on a walk around the farm in the morning to visit and feed them — such a special experience. The room itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with cow and alpaca-themed touches everywhere — we loved it! Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the cozy interior to the fresh milk, juice, and jam waiting for us in the fridge.

The room is clean, quiet and suitable for relaxation. The accommodation is not far from the wanaka lake. This is another place that I recommend to travelers.
