Farmstay vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

We had a lovely stay at Jessica’s home! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The little touches around the house really made it feel welcoming, and we appreciated how well-equipped everything was. Location was convenient and peaceful perfect for a relaxing getaway. Jessica was a great host, responsive and thoughtful throughout. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in the area!

Shaun and Vanessa’s b&b was exactly what we were looking for. My fiancé and I were visiting from Australia and were staying in a new b&b every night for our week holiday. Shaun and Vanessa’s place was the perfect place to wind down and had the most incredible views we had seen since arriving in NZ. We were unable to experience the spa as we had booked the room quite late but the overall experience we had with Shaun upon arriving, the spotless room with a bed so warm we had to sleep with a window open to let in the night breeze and the breathtaking views, this will be a regular place that we stay at for our future visits to New Zealand. Shaun had also suggested that we take a mini road trip to Lake Tekapo. We stopped on the way and got to see snow for the very first time and experienced the Lake Tekapo hot springs which was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Shaun and Vanessa for an incredible experience and making this our must stay place when we visit your beautiful country again.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Would love to visit again. Drew and Sally are very friendly and their place had everything we needed and more. A well stocked kitchen, plenty of toys for our daughter, farm fresh eggs for breakfast, couldn't ask for more. The cottage is very spacious and cozy. It's a very comfortable space for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and noise of city life.

Roomy, comfortable unit with great kitchen and beds. Ez parking. Great starlight! Ocean surf in the distance.

Cosy and comfortable stay with Bridget, place was exactly as described and was a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We really appreciated Bridget's hospitality as well, and would come back if we had the chance. Highly recommended!

We loved DDOG - our 6 year old daughter was thrilled to see the trampoline outside on the yard when we pulled in and my husband and I have never seen such a beautiful sunrise over the vinyards. And everything in between just splended. Highly recommend checking this place out and doing a bike around the wineries as well!!

Lisa's place is highly recommended. What a beautiful cottage, many things that make this stay special. Lisa and Matt are wonderful hosts and we wish we could of stayed longer but NZ has so much to see.

This place was ideal for my writing retreat. It had everything I needed and was very comfortable. Having a writing desk and a proper computer chair was a real bonus and meant I could get on with my work and not end up with back ache. Lovely barn eggs and milk left for me too. I already am thinking about when I can come again! Thank you so much for everything!

We absolutely loved our time staying with Kim and Glen! They were very welcoming and helpful, showing us around their farm, and happy for us to interact with the animals (our 2 year old had a great time). Their home was clean, very spacious for us (2 adults and a child) and had character. Kim set up the fire for us each night, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Hopefully we're back in NZ some time soon and can visit again!

Super nice place! The small space was utilized very well, and we loved watching the sunset over the mountains. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was lovely. Great place to stay!

Very peaceful surroundings. Private, well set up little cabin with everything you need for a short stay. Host was lovely and helpful and made us a great dinner and breakfast. Just what we needed after a long day's cycling!

Lovely home in beautiful surroundings. Comfortable bedrooms with big windows for the view. Even the fireplace stacked, ready to light. Will definitely stay again.

Julie and Mike were great host. Fantastic location and the accommodation was perfect for our family of three. Highly recommended, and the cherry on top was the freshly baked bread!

Sally and Bruce's place was absolutely wonderful! A great place to call home during our road trip (especially after a very long day of hiking in Abel Tasman). Not to mention, the bed was very comfortable! We had the best time.

What an amazing place to stay. Dan made us feel at home right away and took us on a personal tour of his property. A fresh apple from the orchard on the way was delicious. The room was spotless and exactly as advertised. We will definitely be back for longer - one night is not enough

An amazing stay! Met their parents and had such a welcoming chat. The farm was so lovely, we had a chance to meet Socks the dog and the two horses. Loved the fireplace and the lovely touch of eggs and milk on arrival. Wish we stayed another night for sure. Definitely coming back here one day. Great spacious rooms and very good heating alternatives. Thank you so much for having us. The welcome card for Coringa was so sweet. Definitely a highlight on our honeymoon. 😁

This place is something special from the fantastic host to the wonderful relaxing environment they have created. Lots of special little touches that show how much they care for their guest and their comfort. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and look forward to returning. Sue & Steve

What a great place, with peaceful backyard and lovely neighborhood. This place has everything you might need for a great stay and Angela is the sweetest. Highly recommended.

Kath and Steve gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and made us feel at home. The place was very comfortable and well stocked. The location is beautiful! All good. We'd love to come back.

The property was clean and thoughtfully furnished, with all the amenities needed for cooking and doing laundry. My child enjoyed interacting with the animals on the farm. The landscape that greets you in the morning is amazing! And the night sky… omg. The location is an easy 15-min drive to Te Anau for groceries. We appreciate the warm and lovely Kiwi hospitality extended to us from Lyn and Hans. :-)

This was our second stay with Lynne, we had a wonderful time. A warm, cozy home with stunning views. Love the outdoor fire. Lynne thought of everything! Definitely recommend.

An idyllic cottage nestled among rolling hills - the perfect retreat for unwinding. Peaceful, clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. The honey tasting was a delightful bonus! Would definitely love to return!

A beautiful outlook. Small size but had everything we needed and the outlook and veranda made it feel much bigger. Great local breakfast produce provided. The fire was roasting hot, spotless and comfortable. Internet and streaming worked well. Well positioned near several restaurants and wineries, and near the Omaha plane display. Andy and MaryAnn were warm and welcoming. We would definitely stay again.

What a unique experience staying on an active farm! I really enjoyed walking the farm at sunrise and watching all the action. Many of the animals were curious and came right to the fence. The Tin Shed is a lot more than a shed - it's an amazing space with well appointed kitchen, very comfortable bed, nice living room area and spotless bathroom. The views are incredible and the outdoor space is very pleasant to hang out on. The stocked refrigerator and pantry kept us well-nourished. Wendy is an excellent host. Thank you!
