The Pines Guesthouse - new re-list

SamuelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Stu’s guesthouse was a lovely getaway in New Zealand! Close to Queenstown, ZQN airport, and to many outdoor activities. Very peaceful and private, soft linens, and felt right at home. It’s clear that this is not a cookie cutter Airbnb, but a real guesthouse, and it shows in the fit and finish of the property, and Stu’s helpful and kind approach to hosting. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Driftwood,lake & mtn views, outdoor bath, private.

JasonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A cozy and modern cottage with a terrace where you can enjoy spectacular view of the city. Instructions for check-in are clear and the host is easy to communicate. The only downside is that you have to rely on the lift to access the house. Unluckily the down button didn’t work when we left the apartment and we had to walk downhill (a short walk but with luggage it’s not possible). The house is nicely equipped but if there could be a washbasin in the kitchen area it would be great. Overall it’s an enjoyable experience.

Farm Therapy

LaurenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Elwynne and Em have a beautiful spot in Tapawera. We were so delighted chatting with Elwynne every morning and evening, and her kitties and doggo were a wonderful treat that made us feel right at home. We loved Elwynne’s home cooked meals for dinner, after long days of exploring it was such a treat to come back to that. The accommodation was everything and more, and the spot was so charming! All the sheep were a lovely perk as well. We hope to return in the future!

Copper Beech Cottage

PayalRating, 5 stars5 days ago
I had the pleasure of staying at this charming tiny home in Christchurch, and it was the perfect escape! Nestled in a quiet, serene location, the property offers the ideal blend of comfort and tranquility. The host was incredibly welcoming, providing clear instructions and making sure I had everything I needed for a stress-free stay. The tiny home itself is beautifully designed, making great use of space. Despite its compact size, it felt surprisingly spacious and cozy. The natural light and well-thought-out details made it feel like a little sanctuary. The amenities were top-notch, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was comfortable, the kitchenette was perfect for preparing meals, and the bathroom had all the essentials. Plus, the location was just a short drive from downtown Christchurch, so it was easy to explore the city while still having a peaceful retreat to return. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind. Highly recommend!!

Firkins Retreat - Picton

DeepanjanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is an exceptional place! Pls look no further if you have found it. Everything about this airbnb is perfect. The deck with amazing views, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable sofa and bed, spacious bathroom and a great laundry space! And to top it all a superb host - excellent in communication and genuinely wants you to have a great time. I can bet good money that you can’t find a better place than this in Picton. So much thought and detailing has gone into this space that it is a joy to experience it. There is also a superb hot tub with amazing views which we couldn’t use due to lack of time. I regret not staying here longer! I thank Brad for creating this amazing space for us and wish him all the best. And wish more Brads to the airbnb world!

The Cabin

ShayneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Melanie was an amazing host! She provided very clear instructions upon check in and provided great recommendations. The house is absolutely cozy with a stunning view of queenstown and the lake. Neighborhood is very peaceful yet very accessible to get to places, especially heart of Queenstown and Glenorchy. A book with information on how to use the amenities such as sauna, hot tub, fireplace etc was very helpful. Melanie was also very responsive whenever we had any questions. Super value for price, it felt like a chalet that you would have pay for 1000 euros a night. Highly highly recommend!!

Paparoa Beach Hideaway One Bedroom House

OliviaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
If you are thinking about staying here - stay here! A standout experience of thoughtful accommodation. Guided to the cabin by solar lights on the driveway, the cabin was spotless and welcoming. The spa is fantastic, and the surroundings are stunning. Lots to do in the surrounding areas but plenty to keep you occupied just on the property. A favourite Airbnb stay for sure!
