Cabin vacation rentals in North Mavora Lake

We had a good stay in the middle of the road trip from Milford Sound. We booked the bath and it was beautiful and so cozy. Good way to enjoy after a long ride but while we were in the tubs, an opossum came with speed and jumped on the deck we were at. We got scared at first but things calmed down after that. Otherwise everything was great. Jaclyn was friendly and the beds were warm and comfy. Would like to go again!

A very simple but nice cabin with amazing views. The facilities were all clean and amenities were as described for a more rural stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive! Would recommend if visiting the area.

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!

A perfect spot to stay between trips to Milford Sound but even stumbled on a lovely forest on the way to the ‘Anduin River’. Warren was absolutely lovely and everyone was accommodating. True to the description and nice to be able to see the stars and do some old fashioned things like playing cards in the dim light with the fireplace going.

We absolutely loved our stay and genuinely enjoyed every moment! This place is a perfect gateway to experience New Zealand’s breathtaking nature. The cozy wood stove kept us warm during the evenings, though it did get chilly by morning—something to keep in mind if you prefer warmer nights. Despite the cold, our overall experience was incredible. Warren’s outdoor baths were amazing, and the sunrise views were unforgettable. Even with the limited electricity (just in the bathrooms), everything worked out perfectly. Warren was extremely accommodating, even allowing us to do our laundry, which was great! Only 10 minutes away from Doubtful Sound, we highly recommend this spot. Despite the chilly nights, it’s definitely a 5-star experience—we’d stay again in a heartbeat!

Ellie was a lovely and responsive host—who made our trip smooth and enjoyable, and she also gave us fantastic local recommendations. The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the view was like no other. Absolutely breathtaking! It was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Wanaka. Would definitely stay again. Thanks so much, Ellie!

Perfect stay for soemthing different! Such a nice getaway for a trip to Queenstown just out the city! Was very cosy! Loved it :)

Very special location in NZ. We had just 1 night so did venture out much and spent most of time relaxing at the cabin. An interesting experience in container but was so clean, relaxing and tranquil. We enjoyed local restaurant too. Thank you for fabulous hospitality

Loved staying at the cottage! We wished we could have stayed a week or more. It feels very private with lovely views. It was small but perfect for two people. Walkable to local restaurants. There is lots to do if you enjoy hiking & the outdoors. We took advantage of clear weather to enjoy the gorgeous stars & dark skies.

this is the most amazing place to stay, close drive to town, the place has all the amenities you need and heaps of adorable little touches! the hosts are delightful and so ready to help! we felt right at home and will definitely be back!

Great base for a couple of days in Lake Hawea :) Exactly as described, clean, and walking distance to the lakeside and cafes.

We loved our stay as it had 5 separate family bedrooms with showers and a large kitchen and family room with a piano. This created a great mix of both private and shared spaces for our extended family and children. The house was reminiscent of a tramping hut with a long porch to relax on and was basic whilst having all we needed. This created a real holiday feel. We loved that it was so walking/biking distance to the lake and walking and cycling trails. All the family would be happy to go back and a great time was had by all.

Wins place is clean and quiet with a stunning view of the lake. Perfect place to stay if you drive. The location is also close to a bus stop that takes 10-15 min to the centre of the city.

We had a ball. Kerri was great with instructions and was on hand immediately to help. We didn’t meet her legend husband he was over at the pub… lad! We heard them singing in the pub and wanted to join but it was so dark we were wondering if we would be okay getting there. We woke up early for sunrise and it was so refreshing to go out and see the beauty surrounding the cabin shack lodge. We would return and we recommend and next time we’ll check out the holy pub.

Myself and my partner stayed here for 4 nights. Ideal place to stay for a couple of nights exploring Queenstown. Walkable into town on flat route. Hot tub was also a nice touch for the evenings.

My stay at this cozy Airbnb hut was absolutely delightful. Nestled in nature, the peaceful surroundings made it the perfect escape from the busy city life. The hut was clean, well-equipped, and just as pictured. Waking up to the sounds of birds and the fresh breeze was a highlight. A special shoutout to the owner, who was incredibly efficient and helpful — they quickly resolved a water staging issue in the washroom with great professionalism. Their responsiveness made the stay even more comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a serene, nature-filled setting. Would love to return!

Kirsten and Tim are wonderful hosts! My husband and I stayed for two weeks for our honeymoon and it was absolute bliss! Their cute and cozy cabin is modern and had everything we needed. Kirsten was so wonderful and helpful and made sure to check in with us and ensure that we had everything we needed and that we had settled in okay. We would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend. It is a cute, convenient and peaceful stay for two located only a 5 minute bus ride into Queenstown. Thank you Kirsten and Tim!

We had a fantastic two night stay. The accomodation is fabulous with lots of personal touches and the garden and surrounding area absolutely stunning. We envy other guests that managed to stay for much longer. We would love to stay again. Thank you for a fabulous stay.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. Clean, tidy and spacious home in a private neighbourhood. Would highly recommend 😊

We had a wonderful stay at Julie’s place — the location was ideal, tucked away just enough for privacy but still very convenient for exploring Wanaka. The space was beautifully set up, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. The bed was super comfy, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout. Julie was incredibly accommodating and responsive, with great communication from the start. She kindly allowed us an early check-in so our baby could nap — our travel cot fit in perfectly, which made all the difference after a long drive. We felt really well looked after and would absolutely stay here again.

The house was very nice and comfortable. The large kitchen was well stocked with lots of cooking utensils and condiments and would be perfect for a large group. There were baby chairs and picture books available and the bedrooms were very spacious and relaxing. I would rent again!

We had a wonderful stay at Margot’s Hut, right by Mt Iron. Everything as described. Great communication. We would love to be back one day. Thank you again!

I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and would definitely stay here again!
