Farmstay holiday rentals in Timaru District

We had a fantastic stay here for a couple of nights. The setting was beautiful and Michele was kind enough to let us explore the stunning garden and enjoy some of her home grown veg. The welcome couldnt have been warmer. The accommodation was clean and cosy and was perfect for us and our two small children. A perfect alternative to staying in Tekapo. We would loved to have stayed longer. Would strongly recommend this place to others.

Beautifully kept farm home in pristine country side. Close enough to surrounding towns to enjoy their amenities. We were graced with snow fall for the duration of our stay which made the home even more cosy to be in.

We absolutely loved our stay at Waikonini Homestead! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with tea and cake, setting the tone for a truly delightful experience. We stayed one night in ‘Owen’s Room’, and as no other guests were booked during our visit, the homestead felt wonderfully tranquil. The warm, cozy bed made for an incredibly comfortable night, and the meals were a perfect finish to the night. Dinner (prebooked) featured a fish pie, followed by a mince tart with homemade custard—comfort food at its very finest. Mary, our host, truly made the experience unforgettable. Her warm hospitality and engaging conversations about travel, dogs, and life made us feel completely at home. And her delightful Corgis, Peppi and Anne—oh, they were absolutely adorable! The homestead itself is a treasure—an elegant old home surrounded by stunning grounds that invite you to relax and explore. The perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort.

A short but beautiful drive out of town, it was so peaceful with an amazing sunrise. The heat pump was incredibly efficient and the bed was comfy. I hope to stay again.

Ian and Tia were very loving hosts and attentive to whatever we needed. The cottage is fully equipped to spend a few relaxing days there.

A fantastic place to relax and unwind. Tranquil countryside views Sue was an amazing host Our wedding weekend was superb and having a place to stay that we felt comfortable coming and going was such a bonus . Was lovely to meet Sues extended family too . We had the most relaxing time Jenny and Steve

Great place to spend time with friends! Beautiful place and great facilities! We had the best time!

Peaceful get away! Lynne was very helpful and the place was cozy.

Lovely spacious accommodation awesome views New and clean and the owner was very helpful when we needed help

Great place to stay in the country. Perfectly located 5 minutes from Timaru.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at James's place and it was equally as good as the 1st time. For us Racing at Levels was magic, just being down the road. We were able to relax within a few minutes of the track. Plenty of room for a big Race Trailer. James a very responsive host and very helpful with early check in and being able to leave the trailer for an extra couple of hours after checkout. If James will have us & the house is free we will definately be staying again

🌟 5/5 – Unforgettable Stay! 🌟 We had the most incredible experience staying here. Waking up to snow-capped mountains just outside our window was absolutely breathtaking. The views are even better in person—pictures don’t do it justice! The place was cozy, clean, and perfectly located for anyone looking to relax or explore nature. From peaceful mornings with a hot drink by the window to stargazing at night, every moment felt magical. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet retreat with world-class views. We’ll definitely be back!

Another lovely stay at The Cowman/Gardener's Cottage. We always love coming here. The house is warm and cosy and feels like a home away from home, thanks to thoughtful details provided by Anna. The birdsong and surrounding forest make for a beautiful location to relax and rest in. Comfortable beds, good showers, a well supplied kitchen, open fire, and lots of places to sit and read books. We can highly recommend this place.

Wow I don't even know where to begin. Lou and Dion were so warm and welcomed us into their house (which is situated on the farm). The highlight of our stay was the farm tour. Highly recommended for BOTH kids and adults. It's a separate fee of 250nzd at our time of stay and it was well worth it. Dion took us up to his farm up on his 4WD and we went up the mountains where the views are unparalleled and we could get up close and personal with the cows, sheeps, and his sheepdog as well. He shared personal experiences as well as interesting facts about the farm. This beats and commercial stay or visit to a farm. Lou was also very welcoming and helped us with everything we needed. We met with a situation where our car was in a ditch and Lou was so kind to send her nephews Isaac and Hamish to help tow us out of the situation. My family is extremely grateful for their help and hospitality. If you're visiting lake tekapo or any of the surroundings, just stay here already!

Staying at Sharon and Sid's Airbnb was an absolute delight! They were incredibly hospitable hosts who went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. The space was immaculate, cozy, and exactly as described. Their warm welcome and helpful local tips added a personal touch to our stay. I highly recommend booking with them for a wonderful and memorable stay!

An absolutely magic place to stay. It impresesed in every way. I couldn’t have been more lucky finding this. From the house to Mary and her tremendous hospitality, the brilliant dogs and the superb garden. It had it all. Brilliant

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.
