Waterfront vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

very comfortable home to take a break. Great bars and restaurants at your door.

We loved staying at David’s place. Was a walk to everything we needed. Had an amazing outlook onto the water. And David and his family were so helpful. The kids loved the foosball table too. Highly recommended.

This place is absolutely ideal. Firstly - it looks even better than the photos. The view is stunning - whether just relaxing in the living room, balcony, bedroom - you have unobstructed & private views. The unit is private, quiet, and has everything you need. I stayed for 4 nights and felt fully at home. The balcony is amazing for relaxing. The location for me was perfect, as it’s only a short drive/walk to QT - but yet it’s more quiet/less busy. The track for walking or cycling along the water is literally a few steps away. So close to the airport too. I loved everything about the unit & it is a huge part of what made QT as amazing as it was! Would highly recommend to book.

Wonderful apartment by the water, with good restaurants nearby, decorated with very good taste and well equipped with everything you might need. TV comes with access to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Great communication with Matt and Jocelyn who were always responsive, and Amanda made the check-in procedure extremely easy! Highly suggested!

Such a lovely place to stay! We travelled to Nelson for a work related trip and this had absolutely everything we needed. Beautiful views over the ocean and walkable distance to a few nearby restaurants. We had one minor inconvenience on day one where one of us was stuck in the lift (just a note to not have bags against the walls!) - something we would have known had we read the booklet inside, however as we were using the lift to get our bags upstairs we hadn't quite got that far... Vivienne was great on the phone and her and they helped us sort this out quickly. Overall a great stay/location and would recommend highly to other guests :)

The place is close to Queenstown airport, restaurants and easily accessible. It's just few steps away from the famous Boatshed restaurant of the Queenstown. It's a good place to stay with family The host is responsive and cooperative. During the stay , had some issues with the sink The host fixed it immediately in the middle of Easter holiday. Will stay again.

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!

Thank you Lynette, we really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect spot to watch the sea and easy walking into town. The apartment was super clean and was well equipped for our stay over the Easter weekend. We would be more than happy to come and stay again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The views are awesome and the place was clean and tidy.

Fabulous, as always. Thanks for our "home away from home".

The location of this home is incredible! Beautiful sunsets, close to penguins and a number of stunning beaches and hikes. Check out the baby fur seals, caves, natural spring, waterfalls and abundant bird life. Piwakawakas at every hike! Garry was very accommodating and responsive. Rent with confidence!

this is a great place to stay while visiting Picton. Location is lovely and easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Loved watching the activity in the marina. Accommodation was very well appointed and clean and comfortable. Note - make sure to read the location and access instructions before you arrive (will save some confusion) and the internal access to downstairs bedroom is via a narrow spiral stairs. Would definitely stay again next time we visit Picton!

This is the place when you want to hide from everithing in a unique setting. Look at the sea while having breakfast, linger on the veranda and enjoy nature, go for a kayak trip, just tuck in... Just the place to be yourself.

My family of 5 had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, modern, and conveniently laid out. I especially appreciated the double washer and dryer. Comfortable beds, pillows, and linens. Excellent communication from the hosts from booking to checkout. Would not hesitate to book and stay again.

Perfect little batch beside the seaside

a great house with wonderful hosts. beautiful location

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.

Great apartment with a beautiful view.

Nice bathroom. Loved the hot tub. Nice location by the lake - about a 10 minute drive from town. Just something to note if you are staying in Summer this place doesn't have air-conditioning. We were out all day exploring and by the time we got home the breeze had cooled the place down but if you were planning to hang at the apartment in the afternoon it gets quite hot.

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

Nice place with great location, just across Lake Tekapo.

the view is beautiful.. facing the lake and beautiful morbing skies

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!

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.
