It’s no secret that Aotearoa New Zealand has bucket list locations to visit, and with incredible natural beauty, world-class dining and heart-pumping action activities come some of the best Airbnbs to rest your head.
From pads in rolling valleys and dense native forests to properties on cliffs overlooking black sand beaches, we’ve found some seriously good stays in New Zealand’s North Island and South Islands that you can book for a gorgeous getaway.
Here’s the official Urban List list of the best Airbnbs in New Zealand.
Queenstown | Sleeps 8
Korimako
Korimako is one of those rare stays that makes it into Airbnb’s “Luxe” listings category, so if you press that booking button, prepare to be blown away. Your four-bedroom home looks out over Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables, but the epic views are just the half of it. Expect a kitchen with premium appliances, an open-plan lounge, and a mega outdoor deck, plus there’s a lovely Onsen-style bathtub with a huge picture window for leisurely soaks with champers too.
Your hosts, Hello Queenstown, offer a secure bag drop service for early arrivals or late departures, which is pretty handy, as well as use of their exclusive guest lounge in Shotover Street for working and relaxing in town. Back at your NZ Airbnb after a day spent exploring though, there’s even more to enjoy. Head to the games room and challenge the crew to a game of pool (and grab a drink from the bar while you’re at it). Afterwards, we reckon a soak in the best outdoor hot tub might be in order because, well… those views.
