Cabin vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful chalet! Nestled in nature, it was the perfect peaceful escape for us and our little one. The space was cozy, well-designed, and full of charm. One of our favorite moments was enjoying the cheeseboard—it was such a lovely touch, and we had the sweetest little picnic surrounded by stunning views. This place is truly special, and we left feeling refreshed and grateful. We’d love to come back again—highly recommend!

We had a great stay at Kay’s place! Very relaxing and well equipped. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Best Airbnb we have stayed at, Sean is an amazing host, very generous and made us feel welcome. The airbnb itself is beautifully designed and is a perfect retreat for those wanting a getaway for a few nights. We particularly loved the spa and the lovely spacious decking surrounded by trees. Would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this airbnb. 10/10

Hosts were friendly and helpful. Suggested a really good bike ride for me to do with my daughter. The Bach was immaculately clean and had everything that we needed. Would definitely stay there again

What an amazing cabin! Looked exactly like the pictures and the outside bath was icing on the cake!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing stay and lovely home! Sean and Jana went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. They gave us local tips and make The place was spotless and had everything we needed. If you’re visiting Twizel, don’t miss this cottage! 友友们真的不要错过这个小木屋！！就是我们梦想中小木屋的样子！！！房东把房屋维护的超好，非常干净！！超舒服！住了不想走的地步！！！房子里的设施都很齐全，想自己做饭或者用咖啡机、洗衣服干啥的都有相应的设施和说明，感觉可以住一辈子(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

If you are thinking about staying here - stay here! A standout experience of thoughtful accommodation. Guided to the cabin by solar lights on the driveway, the cabin was spotless and welcoming. The spa is fantastic, and the surroundings are stunning. Lots to do in the surrounding areas but plenty to keep you occupied just on the property. A favourite Airbnb stay for sure!

This is such a great find and well worth the money. A little slice of heaven that is still close to lots of other areas, wish we could have stayed longer. Jude was very welcoming and we appreciated them letting us stay at the creekside cabin when it is normally only for one person.

A great spot to stay in Wānaka, located at the back of the property it was private and peaceful even with a number of airbnb’s on the property.

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.

A beautiful place to stay, in a lovely quiet location. There’s nearby walking tracks, gorgeous views and (perhaps thanks to the time of year) hardly anyone else staying in the nearby accommodations on the mountain. It was so peaceful! The house is very well appointed, cosy and very alpine in feel. Thank you for allowing dogs to stay too. We know many AirBnBs don’t allow this - as we don’t travel in NZ without the pup your generosity here meant we could enjoy the mountain. Otherwise we’d have had to stay elsewhere (so a smart business move too, guys!) All round - fabulous!

Was easy to book, great specific check in details. David had it all ready to walk straight in even though I only booked 20mins beforehand. Super friendly, and loved that it was dog friendly.

Whare ataahua (beautiful home). We loved our stay. Cosy warm whare (home). Loved the weka’s. Fantastic walks and views. Definitely recommend this as a great place to stay.

Maybe a 20 minute drive to the small town of wanaka, quiet and cozy cabin, very kind hosts, highly recommend!

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.

Hands down the best place we have ever stayed! The area was gorgeous and everyone was so welcoming. It was hard to leave this place. We hope to have the opportunity to visit again in the future!

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.

We had such a beautiful stay here and really enjoyed everything about it. Feeling disconnected from the world and in our own little private slice of paradise, plus the private sauna, the comfort and lovely attention to details... everything was great :) . We will definitely return.

Ruataniwha Hut is such a beautiful spot! Coming from a country area in aus ourselves, we have a special appreciation for the beauty and the peacefulness of this place 😊 The hut was so cosy, had everything we needed and made for a perfect stay whilst travelling around the area. Huge credit to Andrew who has put in so much effort to make this place special!

A wonderful base to spend time in Arthur’s pass, which had many available walks The place was beautifully designed , very modern in style , but beautifully in keeping with the area and original cabin style

Peaceful little shack in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect for our week stay in Christchurch. Lesley was very helpful and always responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Really nice retreat. Lovely rain water shower with hot water was fantastic after a swim in the river. Just FYI cabin is a little difficult to find, it is slightly before where it shows on the map. Otherwise a great stay!

Jayne and William were warm and friendly and really took care of us. Right from the time of booking till the time they loaded up our luggage on the shuttle. Jayne was very proactive in giving us clear directions to find the place. she was very responsive while we were enroute to the cabin. The cabin itself is cozy, clean and well maintained. The basic amenities will be pretty much everything you require - a stove, compost toilet, and shower. We regret that we couldn't spend more time there and had to move on to our next post on the Queen Charlotte track. The location is spectacular and very close to the water so a quick dip or a kayak would be lovely in this place. All in all, a very pleasant time in a lovely place with wonderful people. Would recommend!

Lovely and peaceful stay. We loved the cabin and had a great getaway. Mark helped us with our luggage up to the cabin which we really appreciated! Beautiful place, highly recommend!
