Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Excellent stay. Will return, highly recommend. Appreciated the early check in.

Great apartment for what we needed, awesome location and friendly host

I had an amazing stay, it was a perfect location and perfect place! Thanks Anna!

Great location, with lots of room in the flat. Everything worked and was clean. Zero hassle, highly recommend!

A Stay in a Classroom. The home is very clean. But it gives me a feeling of school activities of staying in a classroom with your friends. Rachael has put up walls the separate the rooms. Overall, it is still one big room, you have to make sure that you can tolerate the sleeping habit of your group. This is a different experience. How often will you have a chance to stay in a school. She also has very nice garden for a stroll.

What great hosts. Best airbnb ever. Absolutely loved this home away from home. Justine and Baz had thought of everything. It would have been very easy to stay in and just enjoy the view and surroundings. The furnishing paid attention to every detail, the bed to die for, all the appliances A+, the outdoor relaxing and bbq facilities excellent. The tea,coffee and breakfast cereal an excellent choice. Relaxing at night on a big luxurious couch with great TV and internet, after riding our bikes all day was just another plus. I could just go on and on. It was just awesome far better than any 5 star+ hotel or motel. Can't wait to return when the locals finish the biking/walking track around the lake. thank you again Jill and Kevin.

our stay was fine. this is not a flash air b n b but very homey and clean and comfy which was all we needed as we were out most days .

What a great find - the apartment has everything you could need, is lovely and clean and feels very homely. There is a beat pump and fireplace if needed. Was really helpful to have a laundry that we could use too. The location is beautiful with the garden leading right down to the water with a view of the marina. David is really friendly and available if you have any questions. We really enjoyed our stay and loved that it was dog friendly too.

This beautiful home exceeded our expectations. So open and spacious and the view to the mountains was spectacular. We enjoyed the lovely bath tub and was great to have a washing machine. No wifi, no problem. We read out on the deck listening to the ducks play in the little stream. Would highly recommend 😊

We had such a great stay at Elizabeth’s Airbnb. Best Airbnb experience yet. The place was perfect for our family and friends and was very well equipped! Very stoked! We would totally stay there again.

We stayed here from 16- 20th April and had an amazing experience. The house was spacious, clean, warm, and cozy – it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved the convenience of having shops, takeaways, and a laundromat just across the road. The location was perfect, close to everywhere we needed to go while visiting Christchurch. The host was fantastic – very accommodating, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

Forest Lodge is the perfect get away for large groups. Huge kitchen, well equipped with anything you would need to feed an army. And great, cosy lounge. We were worried the bedrooms would be cold, but by following the instructions all went well and we were all toastie… no snow for us this time, but we look forward to coming back again next year! Thanks Samantha!

Great place to stay. beautiful house.

We really enjoyed our lovely, warm comfortable home away from home. Lots of countryside as well as retail shopping, cafes & restaurants, golf courses and interesting walks close by. Kaiapoi is a great get- away location. Val

This was a great peaceful place to stay. It allowed us to spread out and enjoy the rural surrounds. The property exceeded our expectations and Alistair was very responsive. To our questions. The new outdoor baths were a favourite, as were the multiple parts of the deck to enjoy at different times of the day.

We enjoyed our staying at this lovely, cozy and well prepared place. The house is beautiful and the kitchen is organised perfect and easy to use. The location to the town centre is great only 5 mins taking to pretty all of restaurants and marts. Definitely recommend this place.
