Cabin vacation rentals in Southland

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!

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.

they were very nice. even loaned me a chefs knife and some oil. let us pick some fruit from the trees. would recomend.

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!

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

Place was a great stay. Bed was comfy and everything as was described in post. Located in a nice and quiet subdivision. Would recommend to anyone.

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

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.

Comfortable

Loanne was extremely helpful in every way possible. She was very hands on, even supplying a cooker (to cook a trout) and pliers (to adjust a fish hook) I stayed here 45 years ago, lots of new cabins but I think the communal kitchen area was very similar. Beware the drive potholes, but all in all a great stop over and convenient for The Town & Country Club just over the railway line.

A wonderful little cottage, we loved the serenity, the stars & how comfy we were in the well equipped cottage. We made a last minute decision to visit Glenorchy and so glad we did. Christine & David are great hosts.

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.

Maggie’s place was absolutely wonderful, you don’t get hospitality like this anymore. The food was plentiful and delicious. We opted for the cooked dinner and it did not disappoint! The area was peaceful and we loved the dogs on the property. I would love to stay again, absolutely recommended!

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

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.

Sarah’s place was lovely and cozy, a nice distance out of Queenstown so you’re not in the busiest part of town but not too far away to drive. Would definitely 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!

Fantastic place to stay! Really cozy cabin to come back to after a big day of exploring. Dave is a fantastic host! Very friendly and welcoming :)

The room was clean and tidy, with a soft, warm bed that made for a great night’s sleep. The host was very kind and helpful throughout my stay. I also really enjoyed the local tavern in town — good food and incredibly friendly people. A lovely little place overall!
