Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in New Zealand

One of the highlights of our trip! Amazing cheesecake whilst looking at the sun set on the mountains.

Absolutely AMAZING stay at the barn. Amazing views and serenity. Hugh is an outstanding host and went above and beyond all expectations. Absolutely loved, will be coming back and telling everyone about our stay

Great place to stay! Had many amenities and was such a large room. Definitely would stay there again

We had a good stay at The Alpine Chalets. Checkin and checkout were very easy. Stewart and Mary were very responsive and provided clear instructions. The place was very accessible to everything that you might need like bus stop, restaurants and dairy. The room is a bit dated, especially the toilet and shower, but overall it was functional, clean and tidy.

We had a beautifully relaxing and energising couple of days at Tira Ora. The hosts were super lovely, the place was full of rustic charm, animals and birds everywhere. The rooms were comfortable, home-cooked food was delicious, and the place so captivating, we were sorry to have to leave. Great for families, a real natural treat away from it all.

Andrea’s lodge was just perfect. We had everything we needed. Fully equipped kitchen, a warm fireplace, nice and tidy room. We felt like home. She gave us some recommendations for the area. There is also a pick for the shuttle bus to the start of the Tongario crossing right in front of the street. Easy to book and close to the start and end. Self laundry with coins available at the reception (if you have none) We can highly recommend this place!!

Very cute motel, stayed there with my family, everything was clean and the staff was friendly.

We stayed at Tira Ora over Christmas and was definitely an amazing and very memorable time. We we're treated as part of the family with exceptional hospitality, food and festivities and even received a Christmas present under the tree. The estate is vast, with lots to do and explore and a good get away from civilisation, truly a retreat where one can reconnect with nature and each other. Our only regret is not spending more time here. Much love to the Tira Ora family, you were amazing!

We were cycling the TA route and Cathy was extremely helpful and sorted our washing, which is great when you are cycling. No eating out options in the village, so you need to bring your own food.

Great place to stay whilst you are journeying through new zealands south island. Cathy was very accomodating for our late checkin.

Beautiful property with everything you need to relax away from the city. Whether it be exploring the gardens, lying on the sun warmed bricks next to the pool or sitting with a coffee watching the cows. Lovely spot!

Cathy's place was perfect for our one night stay. She was kind enough to offer us an upgrade due to a cancellation, which we very much appreciated. The unit was very spacious, clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. It was well heated and the bed was very comfortable. We would recommend a stay at Cathy's place - it certainly met our expectations as a great place to relax after a full day of exploring.

The pictures on airbnb were a bit different from the huts we actually got. They were therefore beyond our expectations. Own hut with seeviews and own hottub on the terrace, with wonderful milkyway at the clear sky. And a nice breakfast and a beer in the fridge. Such an quiet place with a wonderful atmosphere.

Perfect spot to stay whilst attending a wedding at the Lodge.

Very helpful and accommodating host. We booked 2 rooms and we loved our 2-nights stay despite the weather. The beds were very comfortable. Highly recommended

Exactly like the pictures. Room was spotless and the view was beautiful. Would definitely recommend if you are in Queenstown!

Fabulous place to stay the night between Christchurch and Queenstown. Judy was so accommodating and the house was warm and comfy. Kids loved seeing the horses and playing with the beautiful dog. Highly recommended.

This was our second time staying at Ao Marama. It is a peaceful, beautiful retreat. Rustic in many ways, but very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Holly was a fantastic host, very welcoming to myself and my family and always willing to help. Magic..

Staying at the Poolburn adventure hub for New Year’s with our family of five was an amazing experience! Mark and Matt were exceptional hosts and treated us like family. Mark cooked amazing meals, planned fun family outings for us, and let the kids feed the farm animals. I am so happy we stayed for three days to experience it all!

Lovely stay at Poolburn with Mark and the gang. Everyone was really friendly and we felt right at home. Mark is a fantastic cook! Great spot for exploring the area or just relaxing. You'll never get bored with resident dogs Bishop and Rook around. Will definitely be back for another stay!

This place is extraordinary and so are the beautiful family that host. We were welcomed, embraced, nurtured and extremely well-fed. We had the extra special treat of being there through Christmas and were warmly included with other guests in the most magnificent celebrations. The walks, animals birdlife and bush are out of this world and I can't recommend a visit enough. Shall return. Thank you beautiful whanau!

We had a lovely stay here and loved that we could walk the tracks to/from the Real NZ tours on Lake Manapouri and Doubtful Sound. There was more than enough space for two adults and we appreciated being able to cook our meals while traveling. The night sky was dark and lovely, and the area was very quiet and tucked away. We will definitely look to stay here again when we’re in the area.

our stay at the lodge was all I could hope for. easy drive into arthurs pass village, scenic routes through the mountains. cute dogs and good company in the lodge. kitchen had everything we needed. would 100% stay again.
