Farmstay holiday rentals in Otago Region

Thank you Lynda & Nigel. This air bnb is unique in so many ways. It is absolutely 5 star and we would have no hesitation in recommending this private stand alone house as a place to stay. Thank you again

Lovely clean place to stay and relax. Leanne was super helpful and a lovely host. Had a really nice stay.

Photos don’t do the view justice. Jeremy was a great host. This is a cabin type experience. We stayed in the winter and used the cottage as a home base for skiing and other activities which was great. Quick ride over to Arrowtown and Queenstown but far away enough to feel private and peaceful. Some important points regarding previous reviews I read about the place being “cold”…the ground floor is all slate stone…as Jeremy recommended, just bring some sandals or slippers to wear around. There is a large heat pump, a lovely pot belly stove, and space heaters and all the beds have blanket heaters which we actually didn’t use because they were too hot…so it’s easy to stay warm and the view and coziness are well worth it, but if you’re expecting a thermostat in a hotel room that you set and leave…this wouldn’t be the place for you. We loved our stay and the host was very responsive.

Stu’s guesthouse was a lovely getaway in New Zealand! Close to Queenstown, ZQN airport, and to many outdoor activities. Very peaceful and private, soft linens, and felt right at home. It’s clear that this is not a cookie cutter Airbnb, but a real guesthouse, and it shows in the fit and finish of the property, and Stu’s helpful and kind approach to hosting. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

We had a lovely stay at Jessica’s home! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The little touches around the house really made it feel welcoming, and we appreciated how well-equipped everything was. Location was convenient and peaceful perfect for a relaxing getaway. Jessica was a great host, responsive and thoughtful throughout. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in the area!

Funky little annexe to stay in. Loved the welcome basket of freshly baked bread and eggs. It was a chilly week in Dunedin but the heater in bedroom did the job to make it cosy. Kerry was very welcoming and friendly. Had a great bike ride on the cycle path. Would like to stay in summer next time.

This was our second stay with Lynne, we had a wonderful time. A warm, cozy home with stunning views. Love the outdoor fire. Lynne thought of everything! Definitely recommend.

Lisa's place is highly recommended. What a beautiful cottage, many things that make this stay special. Lisa and Matt are wonderful hosts and we wish we could of stayed longer but NZ has so much to see.

We cannot say enough good things about this fantastic Lavender Farm home. It is beautifully decorated, was spotlessly clean, incredibly well-equipped, the location was very handy and the grounds just lovely. We were impressed with how warm the house stayed overnight, even on very crisp mornings—the quality of build is imminently evident. Our family extended our stay as we couldn’t bear to leave, and we wish we could live there forever. Thank you as well to Jane for being a responsive host, and we highly rate this experience to future guests.

Arrived to a lovely smelling (lavender diffuser), warm & welcoming rustic hut. Immaculately presented. Found Hugh to be a lovely, friendly host. Had a very peaceful, relaxing 2 night stay. Particularly enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor bath & shower, fluffy robes, yummy sourdough bread & eggs each morning, friendly dogs & other animals & the serene, tranquil location. Thank-you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

A real nice place to stay, specially if you have time to explore the grounds and gardens. Erin communicates really well and is very helpful. Good breakfast options were provided. A bit far from the Dunedin city but still convenient.

Such a gem of a home with the most beautiful views all around. We had a wonderful time and would gladly stay here again. Thank you Michael for your hospitality.

Julie and Mike were great host. Fantastic location and the accommodation was perfect for our family of three. Highly recommended, and the cherry on top was the freshly baked bread!

Lovely home in beautiful surroundings. Comfortable bedrooms with big windows for the view. Even the fireplace stacked, ready to light. Will definitely stay again.

Eddie provided the clear guidance and welcome us by herself. We visited her farm and caught some apples, they are tasted good, my mother really loved them. The house is really clean, a little bit tiny but very warm, just like our home. The kitchen is outside the room and has full equipments, my family cooked our dinner by ourselves. Tomorrow morning we fed the sheep and they are really lovely.😊

A great place to stay. Warm and comfortable and we (and our dog) enjoyed having the various farmyard animals around.

Kath and Steve gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and made us feel at home. The place was very comfortable and well stocked. The location is beautiful! All good. We'd love to come back.

We loved our stay at Katherine's place. the property is beautifully presented and warm. We were travelling with a toddler and he certainly appreciated the toys! Katherine was very proactive and responsive. instructions were very thorough and easy to follow. Great spot for a weekend away. Thanks

Absolutely loved our stay here. Would love to visit again. Drew and Sally are very friendly and their place had everything we needed and more. A well stocked kitchen, plenty of toys for our daughter, farm fresh eggs for breakfast, couldn't ask for more. The cottage is very spacious and cozy. It's a very comfortable space for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and noise of city life.

We had the most magical stay here! It was exactly as advertised - secluded, romantic and felt like a world away. There were personalised touches which were so appreciated and made our stay so special. We'll be coming back!

We had a great stay in Andrew's cabin earlier this month (June 2025). Andrew was a great communicator. Quick, easy and clear instructions. The cabin is very cozy and was perfect for our family of 4. The location is a nice balance between rural, but still quick access to Twizel (15min drive). Bathroom and kitchen were very clean. Washer and dryer were a must after hiking through the snow of Lake Tekapo. Unfortunately we had a lot of cloud cover and almost a full moon during our stay so could not see a lot of stars at night. But it was still a cool backdrop with the moon illuminating everything. We have had wood burning furnaces before, they are always fun and this one did not disappoint. I learned apparently I am addicted to chopping wood! Overall, we had a great stay. We highly recommend Andrew's cabin and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for sharing your slice of Heaven with us! Your cottage is absolutely wonderful - super cosy with beautiful surroundings. We loved the tour around your organic farm and the alpaca walk was especially memorable. We adore the special touches you've added, it made us instantly relax. We'll definitely be back for another stay!

What a spectacular AirBnB😍 the views, the chalet, the tub, the location- all perfect! We are so glad we have come across this unique chalet. It made our trip extra special as there no other stays like this. Everything is just as listed. Mags and Wendy are responsive host in which we truly appreciate. Thanks so much! We had a lovely stay at The Lookout❤️

A very nice and cozy place with superb view of the ocean. Booked last min as my trip to Lake Tekapo is affected by road closure, had to divert. Very fast action from the host with everything sorted out immediately upon booking. Very responsive too, all messages are replied in minutes.
