Cottage vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Jason and Scott are truly Great hosts. Their cottage is amazingly lovely, clean, with a wonderful view and complete amenities. All we need are readily and conveniently available. Instructions are clear, and the place is indeed very guest-friendly. We had a homey and very special experience. The SPA is also a great deal and the view is breathtaking. We will be back, and hopefully longer stay. Thanks to them for sharing their place; we, as a family, just made another priceless memory.

Fabulous cottage. Loved staying here. The bed was super comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed. Everything was clean and well presented. It was all great. Tania was very helpful and friendly.

Excellent place to stay. Your hosts are super friendly and welcoming and the room was well equipped and perfect size. The soak under the stars was amazing!

Teapot Cottage and the whole Wildside farm are a beautiful and very special place! The Cottage is super cozy and it really feels like visiting grandma. Lots of toys our kids loved to play with, like an old doll house, puppets to dress etc. And a wonderful view of the mountain range. Kath and Dan were very hospitable and showed us around on their farm where there's so many things to discover. Thanks for sharing your place with guests!

Erins place made me feel right at home! The tub under the stars and the sunset was amazing to top it off. Highly recommend her place and would definitely stay again in future !

This was one of the most magical stays out of our whole trip. The place was even better then the photos, from the star gazing, to the hot tub and a the two cute dogs! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need, and Amy was super helpful with helping us out with the fire and the hot tub. Will be coming back!

Absolutley stunning cottage in an equally stunning location. Pete was a brilliant host and their dog is a treasure. Would highly recommend.

Wow! Beautifully appointed, extremely clean and warm cabin with a 13/10 lakefront view. The cabin has everything you’ll need for a relaxing and luxurious stay. Perfect accommodations for day tripping to Milford Sound and the rest of the Fjordlands. If you’re lucky enough to find availability, book now!

a fabulous place to stay. close to town. lots of walks close to the cottage. lovely and clean wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage.

This beautiful cottage is an absolute gem of a find and far more beautiful than the pictures. Set in a very picturesque vineyard with incredible views of the mountains and surrounded by incredible rose bushes - I don’t know what else you could wish for. We felt right at home in the cottage which was well equipped and privately tucked away from the main house. We were told to help ourselves from the lemon and orange trees which we did. Bed and linen are extremely comfortable and cosy with a lovely view from the bed out onto the vineyard with the mountain in the background. The toilet is in an odd location but definitely not a dealbreaker - you can access it from the kitchen without leaving the cottage. Outside BBQ was a huge plus. We would return to this slice of paradise in a heartbeat, good for the soul!

Great location with views of Lake Middleton from the lounge and 1 bedroom. Loved all the decor touches to make the cottage live up to it's "Snowshoe" name. Perfectly clean and entry was simple (even in the dark) when we arrived. Even though we had a lot of rain during our stay, the washing machine and dryer meant we weren't impeeded - just as easy as being at home. Fully equipped kitchen. Would love to stay again when we are back in the Aoraki region!

A lovely little cottage; close to beautiful Pohara beach, with great access to Takaka and all the surrounding attractions of Golden Bay. Spotlessly clean with a relaxed vibe, the cottage had everything we needed during our stay. Being pet friendly meant our two dogs could join in the adventure; a real bonus. Thanks for hosting us.

Staying at Helen’s cottage was so peaceful and felt right at home we loved it there

Great place, great value, great location, great communication.

This is a cute, cozy place, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. We didn’t take the walk to town ourselves, but it certainly would have been a short one! (Coming back up would probably have taken us oldsters a bit longer though 😁) The owner has been very thoughtful about hosting families with kids, from a playhouse in the yard to a trunk of toys inside. In the right weather, there is a great patio out front, private and pleasant.

Nice country houses as motel complex. Very friendly and accommodating hosts.

Unexpected gem in Tapawera! Rachel and David’s place was a lovely and secluded Airbnb with access to a beautiful sculpture garden. Their space was eclectic, cozy, and a wonderful place to spend the night. The home was clean, and had 2 beds (1 lofted, 1 bedroom). Just a note that the cabin does not have WiFi - which is stated in the listing. Highly recommend for a stay between Nelson Lakes and Abel Tasman if you are looking for a unique Airbnb experience. Would stay again!

Tom’s place was great! It really is an awesome place to unwind. We loved watching the birds coming to hang out at the bird feeder, and just all the quirky art. You can tell it’s a loved place and we really enjoyed this little getaway.

We had a lovely 4 day stay at this peaceful, charming cottage. A great location, so close to the Cromwell shops and the supermarket and also Lake Dunstan for stunning walks. Would definitely recommend.

Such a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Lisa made sure it was really easy to find even in the dark, thanks again!

We really enjoy our stay here. It’s near the lake, and we can walk to the lake in about 10 minutes. We got everything we need in the house and the garden is very beautiful with different kinds of flowers. Two toilets are perfect for our family( 3 adults 2 kids).

great place to stay. fit all 10 of us in the house. was perfect- close to the pub for our post ultramarathon meal. easy communication with Martina.

Thanks Sharon for hosting us，we spent a wonderful and restful night. Sharon also helped open the heater to keep the room warm before we arrived. The room is exactly the same as it's listed. It's is clean, cozy and well decorated. There are some ceramic which are very beautiful and cute, I feel like live in the house of an artist.

Irwin Cottage is gorgeous! It was spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. We will be back.
