Farmstay vacation rentals in Waitaki District

We had an amazing stay! Waking up to the beautiful view and watching the sunrise was truly special. The bed was super comfortable, and the dome felt so cozy. The location is a bit remote, but absolutely worth it—highly recommend! We really enjoyed our first glamping experience. 😊💗

We have a great time staying in the place. Highly recommended 😇👍

A lovely quirky cottage full of character and charm. Perfect location with great eating places nearby. Large garden with comfortable seating areas overlooking the wonderful scenery.

Great rural location - perfect for the event we were attending at Claremont Hall which is next door. Not in town, so you need a car to access this property. But Timaru is only 10 mins away & has everything you may need (supermarkets, restaurants, shops, etc).

Great amenities and friendly, welcoming host. Delightful cottage in a gorgeous setting.

Ian and Tia were very loving hosts and attentive to whatever we needed. The cottage is fully equipped to spend a few relaxing days there.

Great view and peaceful. Animals were cool to interact with, shower pressure was amazing! Great place for us to rest our heads on a quick stop over for a night

Lynne’s instructions helped me find the place easily. Really peaceful location and beautiful property

We stayed for two nights as a family of three at a wonderful accommodation in a beautiful location. We became very close with the dog, Zack, and enjoyed peaceful moments together, taking walks and going for runs. The breakfast prepared by Adele was delightful, and the freshly baked croissants were especially delicious. We hope to visit again someday!

What a stunning location, overlooking the rolling hills, so peaceful and private. A beautiful rural setting and under 10 mins to the wonderful Oamaru. Andrea was great with instructions on how to find the cabin, and restaurant recommendations etc. The cabin was well equipped, very clean, cossy and a very comfortable bed. Thanks Andrea

What an amazing place. You will not find anywhere like this in New Zealand. The Hut was so cozy and beautifully decorated to feel like home. Fresh baked bread every morning with plunger coffee. And I got to explore the stunning river and countryside with Rumi the dog by my side. And Tim the host was friendly, helpful and great at communicating. I can see why this place is so highly rated.

This really is a little gem of a place! We loved every minute of our stay and wished we could have stayed longer! The place is delightful, everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. Edie and Alan were so welcoming, cheery and helpful. The location is beautiful, nestled amongst the mountains, really quiet and the most amazing starry sky. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who wanted to stay in the area. Just wish we could have stayed longer!

Karen's place is definitely a once a lifetime experience. The perfect lake house that we dream about since we are little. The house is super spacious that could easily accommodate 20ppl. the best part of our stay is soaking into the hot tub outside the house, staring a the ✨✨✨ the only heads up is probably be aware that it is around 15mins off road drive before getting to the lake house.

This place was gorgeous with beautiful scenery! Everyone in our group wanted to stay longer and will look to return to do so. Such a great place for families or individuals to switch off and appreciate nature.

We made a huge mistake when only booking this place for part of our stay. My thought was to jump around the South Island with my family at a couple stops. Had I known it was this awesome, then I would’ve booked our whole time at Anna’s. This place is exactly what my family loves. The kids will definitely be complaining about where we stay next. This property is AWESOME.

We had a beautiful stay in Otematata, very peaceful and clean - exactly as described in the listing! Nice touches too; a selection of teas, plenty of extra blankets, and a well equipped kitchen. This place is such great value, and I’d love to come back! Thanks Robyn and Ross :)

I highly recommend booking the hot tub and having a soak while the sunsets

What a fantastic place! From the moment you arrive, the magical experience begins. Soft music plays in the cabin, and you're surrounded by majestic views of the valley and high mountains. Amy and Jason have a remarkable eye for detail. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook a delicious meal, and stargazing from the hot tub is an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this place—and without a doubt, we'll be coming back again!

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!

Far better than advertised. Beautiful old home, well set up for our party of 7. Well provisioned for breakfast. Peter was very helpful in providing transport to the local pub. The bathroom and separate toilet made it very easy for our group to use without tripping over each other.

It was the best stay in the entire South Island trip. Amazing Airbnb.

super nice host provided us a comfy house to stay, except the house, Natasha also provided all the information we need in Lake Tekapo! We love the house and wish can come back again next time!
