Farmstay holiday rentals in Mackenzie District

Clean and easy access to Lake Tekapo!

We had a fantastic stay at the Airbnb in Twizel! The location was perfect peaceful yet close to town, making it super easy to get to the shops and everything we needed. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

A short but beautiful drive out of town, it was so peaceful with an amazing sunrise. The heat pump was incredibly efficient and the bed was comfy. I hope to stay again.

We had a lovely stay in this little cottage on Ben Ohau Station. We met Pricilla, one of the owners, who was very welcoming and had lots of excellent suggestions for walking and other activities. The view from the cottage is beautiful, and it's conveniently located for Mount Cook, Tekapo, Lake Ohau, the Clay Cliffs, and many other attractions. The cottage itself is well-equipped, with good heating for winter, a washing machine, and everything you need for cooking. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Such a beautiful home, you can definitely see how a real family in NZ upbringing close to nature, plenty of memories. Such a warm and sweet family. The fireplace and stag head definitely adds a lot of character to home. The rain shower felt amazing, and the bath tub with view definitely melts away your sore body and feet after a long hike. The view of the mountain really breathtaking. The kitchen is very well equipped and the fridge is big enough for a family. We stay for 3 nights and really enjoyed that we took a day off just to stay home and just chilling. At night with clear sky you get to see the Milky Way, shooting stars and even aurora! Definitely one of our unforgettable highlight in NZ trip!

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.

Jim's Airbnb reminded you why you stay in Airbnb's as opposed to a motel. Well resourced, inviting and personal touch.

A fantastic place to relax and unwind. Tranquil countryside views Sue was an amazing host Our wedding weekend was superb and having a place to stay that we felt comfortable coming and going was such a bonus . Was lovely to meet Sues extended family too . We had the most relaxing time Jenny and Steve

Great place to stay in the country. Perfectly located 5 minutes from Timaru.

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.

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!

🌟 5/5 – Unforgettable Stay! 🌟 We had the most incredible experience staying here. Waking up to snow-capped mountains just outside our window was absolutely breathtaking. The views are even better in person—pictures don’t do it justice! The place was cozy, clean, and perfectly located for anyone looking to relax or explore nature. From peaceful mornings with a hot drink by the window to stargazing at night, every moment felt magical. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet retreat with world-class views. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic stay here for a couple of nights. The setting was beautiful and Michele was kind enough to let us explore the stunning garden and enjoy some of her home grown veg. The welcome couldnt have been warmer. The accommodation was clean and cosy and was perfect for us and our two small children. A perfect alternative to staying in Tekapo. We would loved to have stayed longer. Would strongly recommend this place to others.

Wow I don't even know where to begin. Lou and Dion were so warm and welcomed us into their house (which is situated on the farm). The highlight of our stay was the farm tour. Highly recommended for BOTH kids and adults. It's a separate fee of 250nzd at our time of stay and it was well worth it. Dion took us up to his farm up on his 4WD and we went up the mountains where the views are unparalleled and we could get up close and personal with the cows, sheeps, and his sheepdog as well. He shared personal experiences as well as interesting facts about the farm. This beats and commercial stay or visit to a farm. Lou was also very welcoming and helped us with everything we needed. We met with a situation where our car was in a ditch and Lou was so kind to send her nephews Isaac and Hamish to help tow us out of the situation. My family is extremely grateful for their help and hospitality. If you're visiting lake tekapo or any of the surroundings, just stay here already!

A perfect place to stay near Fox Glacier Township. Kirsty even upgraded us to a private unit — a charming and cozy little hut. We’ve really enjoyed our stay and the stunning views. Definitely one of the best Airbnbs we’ve chosen!

Beautifully kept farm home in pristine country side. Close enough to surrounding towns to enjoy their amenities. We were graced with snow fall for the duration of our stay which made the home even more cosy to be in.

Lovely, peaceful cottage with beautiful mountain views. The king bed was super comfy, and everything was clean and well-equipped. Great spot for a quiet, nature-filled getaway.

We had a wonderful stay with Kirsty and John at Fox Glacier. We were made to feel extremely welcome and enjoyed the many conversations we had. We were lucky to have the house to ourselves and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent breakfast served by them both. We would highly recommend their stunning property to anyone visiting the area as it's well positioned for all the local activities. Kirsty provided a later breakfast one morning as we wanted to have an early walk around Lake Matheson and to view the glacier. It was so interesting to hear their family history of living in the area for a few generations and their involvement in the community as a whole. We wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are visiting the area.

A wee cosy corner of paradise under the awe inspiring Southern Alps. A joy for nature lovers, with plenty of beautiful birds flying around the hut, and our new best friend Patch the dog. Hut was perfect for a couple, bed was lovely and warm despite it being a cold night. We slept like logs. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to make dinner. Shower was hot with great pressure. Hut is in the perfect location for Fox Glacier and Lake Matheson. Thank you to our lovely hosts. Would definitely recommend to all.

Enjoyed my stay very much. I was here just for one evening but if I come back I’d definitely consider staying here for longer. It was a bit cold during the night (6 degrees outside) and the heating took a while but with some warm pyjama’s you’ll be completely fine!
