Cabin holiday rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay - what a beautiful, peaceful location and the cabin is absolutely stunning

Google maps was deciving as stated by the host. Location was easy to find if you follow the hosts instructions. Google maps issue. Great location and faciliy. We we're extremely impess with our stay. Very warm with the little fire. Spa was clean and beautiful gardens and plantings.

Our group has stayed in a lot of AirBnbs and Mavora cabin was hands down the best experience we have ever had! The location of the cabin is incredibly beautiful, it is hard to not spend all of your time just sitting and staring at the view. The cabin itself is wonderfully appointed, clean and comfortable. And Anna and Rob are absolutely wonderful hosts! They took time to show us and our two year old around the farm, and to meet some animals and they were so unbelievably kind. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and would love to stay again!

We were looking for somewhere isolated, unique and memorable and this place delivered in droves. We wanted an escape and we found an oasis. The views to the mountains changes hour by hour as you sit atop the the highest point for miles around. The property had everything we needed and then some - but it was the outdoors spa that won us over. To sit outside in the warmth of the spa under a blanket of stars was truly remarkable - even better to have that solely to ourselves made it even more special. If you have Mariua Mountain Retreat on your wish list, book it now. If you don't, add it now - you won't regret it. NB: for the faint of heart who might feel daunted by the road up to the house - just follow David's instructions and you'll be fine. We drove a little Toyota Corolla and it made it up with no issues. It's a little bumpy in places, but take your time and you'll be up in no time.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable New Zealand experience, don’t miss out on staying at Jana’s cottage! It’s stunning beyond words, and I’d love to come back again someday.

Would definitely recommend Craig and Ri’s place if you are looking at seafront properties to stay for a night! The house had a small kitchen great for light cooking, a separate bedroom with plush bed and bathroom with shower amenities as well as a functioning heater to keep us warm! The living room has another heater as well and sofas are comfortable too. The walk to the hot tub shack was short (probably less than 30 seconds) and it is kept constant at 38 deg c, which is great during this chilly period! Overall, would recommend Craig and Ri’s place for anyone coming by to stay and looking to stroll along the beach.

This is an incredible Airbnb. If you are looking for somewhere to base yourself so you can sample some of the most breathtaking landscapes, nature and biodiversity in the world, this is it. The views from the deck alone are mind-blowing - rugged, snow capped mountains all around; at night there is so little light pollution that you can see the Milky Way!! Dan's home is stylish, tasteful, very comfortable, warm, super clean and exactly as the photos show. It has all modern conveniences - fast internet and wifi , full kitchen with a big island and large fridge, indoor and outdoor wood fireplaces, outdoor spa, a huge shower with a rainfall shower head, and floor to ceiling windows throughout. The bedrooms have blockout blinds for complete darkness when you want it. I spent two weeks here and had an amazing time exploring the Otago region, hiking, sight seeing, reading and relaxing and Dan's Airbnb was a huge part of this. Dan is very friendly and extremely easy to communicate with.

Lovely stay at Sally’s cosy home. Sally was very hospitable and accomodation was perfect.

Tony’s place was perfect for us and our dog, except when our dog locked us out and Tony kindly came to the rescue. Lovely place to stay for anybody visiting beautiful Ohoka and its surrounds.

Stunning quiet location, very warm and cozy, great shower pressure and absolutely loved the pool table! Didn’t miss having a tv at all - lovely to be off-grid for a change. Huge deck which is all covered and would’ve been great if it was raining! But we had beautiful weather so also had no issues with solar power. Felt very lucky to be able to have our dogs with us. They had the best time too. Thanks so much, we had a great couple of nights.

What an Amazing place, was only there for a nights sleep but boy was it cosy and had more than expected essentials. Place was easy to find and there is such a beautiful view of the harbour with all the sail boats Had quick response from the host as well Would go there again for a longer visit.

We have no hesitation recommending Lucretia's place. A stunning location above the cliff, beautiful walks on your doorstep, a great little pub just a stones throw away and a visit to the seal colony is a must. The accommodation is very well set up with a great little kitchen, clean bathroom, a comfy bed and a deck to enjoy your morning coffee with a view to die for.

Thanks for sharing your wee spot with us. Super peaceful. Loved the outdoor bath and logburner. The beds were very comfy too and warm duvets snd blankets! Lincoln and Leeston very close for a coffee or dinner. Drove to Taumutu.....wild and wonderful beach for walking. Amazing colours.

Great place to enjoy some down time. Either sitting on the deck listening to the birds while surrounded by native forest. Or relaxing in the outdoor bath under the stars. Perfect wee spot.

Warm, comfortable bed, great shower. Great place to stay with your dog.

One of our favourite stays in NZ. Beautiful location near an excellent beach and well situated to explore the Abel Tasman national park. Helpful hosts with great local tips.

A beautiful little cabin in and even more beautiful location! Sarah was great to communicate with very helpful when I left something behind. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We have stayed in countless places across NZ and this has got to be one of our favourites. Such a cool, quirky house in a quiet peaceful area. Sean the host is a super friendly guy and we are glad we got a chance to meet him. The house is warm and the kitchen is well stocked, we loved all the cool things in the house that made it unique. The hot tub was fantastic. This place is great value for money, we've been telling all our friends about it and we WILL be back! 100/10! Thank you!! Eloise and Mat x

Amazing place to stay with breathtaking views of the West Coast especially on a clear day. Highly recommend this place to stay. We plan to stay again.

This cabin was the perfect retreat near Queenstown! Walking distance to the Bob’s Cove track, everything was so comfy and cozy in the cabin, and a Tui that made regular visits to the bird feeder outside. This place is truly a gem!

Lovely stay, enjoyed the sauna and the views of the mountains. Kristy was a lovely host and even had a scrapbook of her family and their involvement and influence in the town which was really interesting context and made us feel like we knew our hosts a little better. We were sad we only stayed one night but it was a great launch point for our hike through the Copeland Valley the following day. The place is also close to the Fox Glacier viewpoint, so we were able to sneak that in before our big day of hiking. If you have time, we also heard the helicopter tours and helicopter-hikes were also fabulous in the area.

We loved our stay at Glenwood & highly recommend it to others. a unique and special spot. We hope to be back.

Marty and Sabine are wonderful hosts. They are long term residents and have lovingly created their home in this exquisite location. You cannot find a more peaceful and soulful spot. Swim, hike, read a book and be grateful that you landed here!

Amazing location not too far out of town but far enough to be very peaceful. The carriage is super cozy and the fire works very well! Renee is a great host and is very responsive and was very understanding when we arrived a lot later than we anticipated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.
