Vacation rentals with a fireplace in New Zealand

The place was simply amazing with amazing views. It was well maintained and it had fully functional kitchen.

The house has a million dollar view! From the lounge to the two bedrooms, enjoyed spectacular scenery. The neighborhood is quiet and the night sky is very pretty. Heat pump kept us warm plus Smart TV with Netflix. Convenient 17mims drive to Taupo CBD for dinner. The bathroom is also large with double shower heads. The kitchen pantry is well stocked too.

Gibbs’ guesthouse is absolute perfection. From the incredible vistas, to the outdoor bath (!!), fireplace, and sumptuous linens, it is a gem and one we will long remember. We had the pleasure of staying here for three nights in mid-June. We were lucky for incredible weather for the most (morning frosts, crisp, sunny days, and cosy, clear nights against a backdrop of incredible stars); using that to our advantage, we flew up to the glacier for a morning on the ice, and used the guesthouse as a fabulous base for other hikes around the area. For one of the days, we were cosy inside with the fire burning and playing many of the games in the cupboards. Perfect relaxation! The guesthouse is appointed beautifully, and Sarah (our host) very responsive and warm in her communication. It’s very easy to find, and just far enough out of town to be very quiet and relaxing. Do yourselves a favour, and book a stay here. You’ll not regret it!

This is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever stayed in. Piecful environment, breathtaking views captured so well by the house design. Every corner of the property is an art piece. We are traveling with the family members that arrived from the USA to NZ for the first time, and they were speechless when they saw entire New Zealand beauty from one balcony. Highly recommending! Kitchen is very well equipped, rooms and beds are super comfortable. Felt like staying in s 5 star hotel, but much much better. thanks so much!

A very beautiful and cosy location with incredible views of the stars at night. Thank you for having us!

Glenn was fantastic and a great host! He greeted us with umbrellas when it was raining heavy and also drove us to town to get our rental car. Glenn went out of his way to make us feel so welcomed.

Very good host, very responsive, very clean room, super comfortable pillows, very satisfied with the homestay, fully equipped with cooking utensils!I'll be back soon!

This was a last minute trip, but we could not have been a better place - the house, location, and everything was lovely 😊😊 we miss it already! A massive bonus is the kids play room - our baby loved it!

This is an absolutely charming apartment to stay in and we enjoyed it immensely. Lynne is the perfect host - warm and welcoming but also attentive to our needs. There was a selection of goodies when we arrived and she baked the most amazing fresh muffins for us the following morning. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with an inspiring collection of furniture and framed photographs. There is also a bookcase with a discerning and eclectic collection of books if you’re interested in reading- which I was. The real highlight of the apartment is the view. There is wide, expansive view of Auckland’s harbour and you are not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses. Sitting there on the super comfy couch, with a cup of tea while looking out on the water is simply bliss. Overall, this a marvellous place to stay and simply on a higher level to many other similar apartments. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back.

Breathingtakingly beautiful place with a stunning view of the lake. The living room was huge and cozy, filled with clean energy flowing throughout the space. The fireplace was such a huge bonus, especially on a cold wintry night. Stuart was friendly, responsive and communicative throughout our stay. We will love to come back! 10/10 recommend!

Loved the place. It was exactly as described and better than I could imagine. Everything was easy and smooth. Lyndal is always there to help you with anything. Overall, great way to make our Queenstown trip memorable.

Oh where do I begin…Sararose and Jules family has the most charming apartment nested in an incredible mountain valley. But what touched my heart was how everything was designed and built in this apartment, and I really mean EVERYTHING. From the fully equipped and stocked kitchen to the cozy fire place, to the spotless bathroom, everything is thoughtfully placed and made by hand. Craftsmanship can be felt everywhere. It’s such a warm welcoming space inside out. The window seat is no joke, exactly as shown on the photos. Come here, you will find everything you will ever need, inside out.

Love the ambience, incredible and convenient location with stunning views. The place was super cozy and had a very homey vibe. Toilet floors are heated which is something that we did not know we needed haha - mind blowing. This airbnb blew our expectations out of the water.

We had a fantastic 3 nights enjoying the views and character of Julie's place, very friendly with lots of locals tips and would definitely like to revisit with the family !

The view is stunning. The kitchen ware is a bit few for cooking couple menu at the same time. For me the second bedroom is a bit cold for the heater they provide. Overall is good place for staying here.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location is perfect — you can enjoy a lovely walk through the park on your way to the town center. The place itself is amazing — not only did it have all the amenities we needed, but it also offered so much more than what we expected. We stayed at the start of winter, and we were especially thankful for the efficient heating, which kept us cozy throughout our visit. It was such a relief that there is a garage, so we did not have to park outside in the cold. But hands down, the best part was the view — even better than what the listing photos showed! It was absolutely breathtaking and made our stay feel extra special. My family and I truly enjoyed our time here, and overall, everything was just perfect. The only small challenge was carrying our luggage up and down the stairs, as there’s no lift. But we were already aware of this before booking, and honestly, everything else made up for it — so it wasn’t a big deal at all 😁

Thanks again for letting us stay here - Lovely place.

Absolutely amazing property, friendly and welcoming hosts and so peaceful. The beautiful home had everything needed and more. Can not wait to go back!

This house is amazing - perfect for several couples, with plenty of space, including a great kitchen and several living areas. Nicki made us feel very welcome by lighting the woodburner before our arrival and leaving several lights on (most appreciated). The location is superb only a few minutes to great coffee. I would highly recommend this place and would like to rebook in the future.

great little escape for 2. highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cheeky little get away. relaxing and off the beaten track. well done team 👍

Everything is just perfect. I love this house.

I stayed at David’s with my husband and mum and dad and it was perfect! Really spacious with comfy beds and lounge area and a view to die for. Catching the bus into town was only $2 and left from the end of the street, there were also restaurants and bars within walking distance which we loved. Recommend this place if you’re looking for a spacious and comfortable base to explore Queenstown from.

We loved our stay at Tom and Taya’s beautiful house. Our kids didn’t want to leave. We hope to come back for another visit in the future.

Levi and team were very responsive but everything was so clear we didn’t need to ask them anything. Levi messaged ti check in with how things weee going which was a nice touch.
