Cottage holiday rentals in New Zealand

Oh my gosh! I cannot get over this beautiful property! Serene location, views and vibes. We only stayed for a weekend and we struggled to leave. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us and for giving us some time to be us again. We will most definitely be back! Thank you again ❤️

We loved our few days at this property. It is as described - excellent condition and facilities. The spa was a welcome treat at the end of the day. The house was well equipped for cooking, plus had comfortable seating and beds. Very grateful for the responsive messages from Julie and Dean - and for putting on some house lights for us when they learned we were arriving after dark. Highly recommend this property and hosts - hopefully we’ll be back! Thank you.

Peaceful stay right in the trees! This was such an epic Airbnb - so cozy and homey while also being very well equipped with everything you need. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and the spa was such a bonus. Stayed 3 nights here and wish I could have stayed longer - would definitely stay again if in the area. Mark was very kinda and quick to respond.

We had a lovely stay at Tania’s place. The cottage had everything we needed and was in the perfect location for exploring the Mount Cook area. Would highly recommend staying here!

I recently stayed at this Airbnb and had a peaceful, relaxing experience. The location is incredibly quiet and serene—perfect for unwinding. At night, it’s dark enough for star gazing and astrophotography. Sadly, it was mostly cloudy during my stay, but on a clear night, it would be incredible. The daytime views are stunning, whether you're inside or out on the patio. The house doesn't have air conditioning, but each room has a portable heater and a fan, which was more than enough with the mild weather. Note that only the bedrooms have blinds; the living areas have large, uncovered windows, allowing lots of natural light and beautiful, uninterrupted views. It’s also well situated: Ātiu Creek Regional Park is a 7-minute drive, Minniesdale Chapel is just a minute away by car or a 5-minute walk, and Port Albert Wharf is about 10 minutes. Overall, it’s a lovely, peaceful getaway perfect for disconnecting and enjoying nature.

Lovely, peaceful cottage with beautiful mountain views. The king bed was super comfy, and everything was clean and well-equipped. Great spot for a quiet, nature-filled getaway.

Beautiful cottage tucked away in the Karangahake Gorge. A lot roomier than we expected it to be and was super cosy with all the mod cons we needed.

Lovely place to stay.- Great hosts great communication, very friendly. Lovely surroundings and very peaceful.

We just loved this historic cottage. So beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The weather was quite cool in the mornings and evenings so we were able to light the fire, which made it so cosy. Thank you for the many extra touches - like the chocolates, food for breakfast and I loved how you had a history of the cottage in the binder. I would stay here again.

We had a wonderful week staying at Clare's place. The house was warm, tidy and spacious with everything we needed. So nice to be able to wander down to the lake. Our dog had a blast too. Would definitely recommend.

Clean and tidy. Nice and quiet. Great communication. Would book again thank you.

Great stay with plenty of room for family of 5. Very clean and had everything we needed. Lovely quiet spot.

Beautiful cosy old cottage which has everything you need. Very clean and warm with a lovely comfy bed. Large outdoor area for the dogs.

We so enjoyed our stay here so much! We loved having a kitchen to cook dinner. We watched the sunrise in the hot tub. I think we even heard a kiwi! We loved everything about our visit.

Great bungalow with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Was great for kids and dogs.

What a great location & view! The beach cottage was cozy& Gail is very friendly & responsive😀 walkable to a really neat trail too.

Great location. Description of premises exactly as provided. Very clean and tidy

Highly recommend. Views are awesome. The home was spotless clean. I have traveled and have always wanted to see the milky way and been disappointed. I saw it our 1st night which was clear. We had a pair of binoculars as well and it was amazing

What a cute and charming little cottage! It was literally a 3-min walk from Oneroa town where there are loads of shops and restaurants. The property has a bunch of fruit trees and our 4-year old loved picking apples and clementines (both of which were so sweet and delish!). The cottage itself is so idyllic with its glass conservatory and cozy living space. Charlotte and Lewis were incredibly responsive to questions and were flexible with check in and check out. Also loved the spa they had on the deck, perfect way to wind down after a day in wine country. Highly recommend staying here, we hope to get another chance to stay there again!

Lovely peaceful, rural cottage. The beds were super comfy and it was lovely sitting out on the verandah watching 'cow TV' in tge evening with the very friendly and wekk behaved dogs for company. The host Claire was very helpful abd responsive to messages too. Would definitely stay again

We stayed 7 nights and this was ideal for the comfortable, peaceful stay that we were looking for. Really well-stocked and equipped kitchen suited us well. Extra fridge and freezer space was available when we asked.

We spent a wonderful long weekend in Shona's cute little cottage! The surrounding landscapes were gorgeous, we were visited but a lot of lovely birds. From the little fireplace to the outdoor bath with a view, recommended takeaway pizza, cute memorabilia and privacy and quiet of the place, I got everything I needed from this weekend away before our baby comes. we even took some beautiful maternity photos around the garden! Thank you Shona for this little slice of heaven :)

I cannot recommend this property highly enough! It is in a beautiful private setting yet also close to the beach, and we walked into Māpua several times insured of driving. The cottage had everything we needed, was squeaky clean and tidy and Sinead was a brilliant host with fabulous communication. We will definitely be back!

It was the perfect set up for the 4 of us. We arrived late and the heat pump was already on so the place was warm and cozy! It had everything we needed, great recommendations and great location. Will be coming back again!
