Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Wānaka

We cannot recommend Maria's place in Wanaka more! In my experience, it is not common for an Airbnb to exceed expectations, but this beautiful property did that and more! The apartment is pristine, the view unbelievable, and the very easy walk to and from town made this location a dream! It was wonderfully peaceful and quiet, truly a highlight of our time in New Zealand. We will absolutely return and hope to stay with Maria again. Thank you so much for having us!

This place is right on the edge of the lake, just a stones-throw to town. The outlook is stunning, the accommodation is so cozy and homely - it was like living in something from a magazine.

By far the best accommodation we’ve had in New Zealand. Excellent location, great view and beautifully furnished. Highly recommend!

Even more beautiful than the pictures. The balcony is sublime and it’s a short walk to the downtown restaurants on a very pleasant boardwalk. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub on the complex property.

Beautiful location for a family gathering and for attending Warbirds over Wanaka. Excellent response to any problems we had- see below, the representative was really lovely and helpful. Lots of plates, cooking utensils and all sorts of other things to make the stay better. Comfortable beds and great showers. On the negative side, having travelled widely, in many country tried, I have never come across so many problems. New Zealand premises, especially those advertising themselves as luxury, need to ensure their cleaners do a much better job. The company representative should not have to apologise for insects on mattresses and windowsills, or shower drains blocked with hair.

This apartment was a fantastic proximity to the town of Wanaka. Really easy to find and furnished beautifully. The bbq terrace area was a great addition. The team at Release were really helpful. Especially when we left some belongings behind and they communicated and couriered them to us. Complementary wine on arrival was fantastic. Really over and above service. Would definitely stay here again.

This beautiful apartment in Wanaka was perfectly situated, just a short walk to the town with stunning views of the lake. Amenities were perfect with everything that we needed available. My only regret was that we didn't get to use the pool, but that was our fault as we were too busy during our stay. I would highly recommend this apartment. Communication was fantastic with suggestions for taxi transport answered promptly. Stay here, you too will love it!

Fabulous apartment in a great location. Walking distance to town and the Lake. Breathtaking views!

Southern Cross lodge was the perfect place for our 7 night family getaway. Lots of areas to be together or apart, amazing facilities and beautiful environment. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped for self catering, there were 4 bikes, lots of games and movie room with dvd’s for entertainment!

Spacious, warm, well-appointed and comfortable. Very easy for the seven of us with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and also a third toilet. We would definitely stay here again. Albert Town is so close to Wānaka but definitely quieter.

Great place to stay, good location not far from Wānaka town. House was clean and tidy and Paula was very helpful!

The house is in a really nice spot with a beautiful view. Lots of interesting items in the house and access to a pool and spa just down the road. Lucinda was easy to communicate with and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks

We had a wonderful stay at Sophia’s over Easter. Our 18 month old son loved the trampoline and having so much space. We loved the views and everything was only a short drive away.

Great location with tracks to the river and mount iron nearby. The community pool and gym are a great facility to have access to as well. House was very clean also

Excellent well equipped apartment with awesome pool and game facilities. Kids thought they were in heaven. Highly recommend!
