Farmstay holiday rentals in Southland Region

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!

We really enjoyed staying at Niagara Ridge Retreat. The house was comfortable, view was amazing, and we liked the location.

Cosy and comfortable stay with Bridget, place was exactly as described and was a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We really appreciated Bridget's hospitality as well, and would come back if we had the chance. Highly recommended!

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.

Beautiful home. Comfortable beds. Convenient to everything in town. On the lake. Easy to find. It was all good.

Beautiful tranquil place-photos don’t do justice to the views which are spectacular.Angela was wonderful with recommendations.

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.

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

We had a great stays with Joan and Kevin, wonderful hospitality feel like home straightaway :) The house is modern and squeaky clean. Also, beautifully surroundings with the nature, wildlife and lake. We will definitely stay again next time :)

Incredible property. Spacious and thought has gone into all spaces. Did not want to leave - perfect Invers escape. 🤩 10/10

Maria is an incredible host, communicative and helpful whilst giving us space. Her property was welcoming, warm, characterful and immaculate. My daughter and I had a wonderful, peaceful stay and deeply appreciated conversing with the animals and enjoying the outdoor space. We slept like logs with the logburner and extremely comfortable beds. This is the perfect place to slow down and breathe. Stunning views all around. We hope to return for another stay one day.

Cosy place to stay in with a lovely view of the mountains! A great place to stay near the heart of Queenstown while enjoying the tranquility. Renovated bathroom was a plus. Thank you, Aurelia and Guillaume, for the warm hospitality!

This is the best AIRBNB we have EVER stayed in (and we've stayed in loads all over the world). Emilie's place is idyllic - even better than the pictures. There are epic mountain views out every window, the space is light, bright and very welcoming with lots of exposed wood and calming decor. Every corner of this house has been thought about - it is a master class in hosting. There are multiple social spaces outside the house to make the most of the sun and views at every time of the day. Our 2 kids had the time of their lives racing around the property, jumping on the tramp and enjoying the hot tub. Emilie was extremely accommodating with our sleeping requirements and on arrival there were thoughtful complimentary extras including local sparkling wine, chocolates and coffee. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with basic ingredients and every appliance you could wish for. The surrounding area is stunning, lake Hawea being the most stunning lake we saw. Highly recommend a stay here.

We had a wonderful stay at Justine's place, everything was great, warm house, comfy beds. Everything we needed. Justine was friendly and so helpful. Lovely peaceful surroundings with bush and coastal walks nearby. Thanks so much Justine.

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 here. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at home. Sharon and Peter have created a beautiful space that has everything you could need. We would definitely stay again and definitely recommend this lovely spot. It was great meeting you both 😊😊

We very like the property which is perfect for family trip. Easy to access with plenty of rooms, will stay again for next visit!

Lyn and Hans were wonderful hosts! Very warm and responsive- we loved our tour of the farm snd animals! Their home was very well appointed had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic! We would definitely come back again!

Our stay was great, we were a family of four adults and it suited us perfectly. The cottage was just as described and Jackie was a welcoming, friendly host. Everything was clean and tidy, and in great working order. The surroundings were peaceful and just a short drive from Cromwell itself. It was a great base from which to explore Arrowtown and Queenstown as well. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We loved our stay! The space was thoughtfully set up, the surroundings were beautiful, and the hosts were kind and helpful. Meeting and learning about the alpacas was an amazing bonus. Wish we had more than just one night!

Mags's place was beautiful. The space is well and carefully curated and very comfortable, beautiful sunset views and lovely birdsong in the mornings. The lack of kitchen sink can make it slightly difficult, but the addition of the dishwasher alongside the bathroom sink make it workable. Bed is very comfortable and had great linens and a nice warm duvet. Would definitely stay again if we come back to Wanaka.
