The spectacular bathroom views over Lake Wakatipu have made this Airbnb property one of the most popular holiday rentals in New Zealand, if not the world.
The accommodation booking website has revealed that a picture of the Boutique Alpine Retreat near Queenstown was the "most liked" Airbnb image posted to Instagram last year.
Releasing a long-list of ten of most scenic pictures from Airbnb properties around the world, here are the website's top rooms with a view and how to book them.

The property has an almost perfect "5 star" score for its location from guests.
It seems Instagrammers also approve of the bach's scenic setting, with the bathroom post gaining 106,273 likes (and counting).
While the photo by Instagram user David Chachi, @chachi86, has gained plenty of appreciation for its scenic washroom – the rest of the house is equally stunning.
The open-plan living room with a log fire creates a luxurious alpine setting.

There are spectacular views of the bush outside – and creature comforts within. The kitchen is not only served by a heated AGA range cooker, but also a private chef.
While the wheel has since gone, the house has been on site by the river in the Valle del Dragone ("dragon valley") since 1621.
You can have a "well of a time" in this old watermill from just $80 a night.
