Tiny house vacation rentals in Te Waipounamu / South Island

An absolute gem!! My adult daughter and her hiking friend stayed here for 4 nights whilst hiking in the Nelson Lake area. They absolutely loved it. It was so cosy and lots of room for the 2 of them. So close to hiking areas, easy parking, easy to find. Washing machine was a bonus. Rachel and David could not have been more accommodating prior to booking, during booking and after booking. Very responsive. Julie and her friend can't thank you enough Rachel and David for their stay in your beautiful cottage. Vicki

Loved our stay. It is all it says on the box and more. So peaceful, loved the Kererū flying around. The fire was what drew us to this cabin. Great on a cold night, so cosy. Lovely easy walk nearby at Hay's Reserve.

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.

Perfect stay. Lovely spot and amazing views. Home provided all we needed for our stay - the breakfast food and eggs was great as we arrived with no food for breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay.

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.

It was a beautiful location with perfect access to the rest of Golden Bay! Nothing felt too far and it was always lovely to return to the cozy caboose.

Such a beautiful spot! The cabin is simple but beautifully done. Loved the walks the owners have marked out and the friendly bird life. There’s some pretty frisky sandflies down by the river but they weren’t too much of a hassle up by the cabin itself. I actually did end up having cell coverage, albeit limited, but everything’s otherwise off the grid which was nice and helped disconnect from work. I got lucky and had gloriously sunny days, so no troubles with the solar hot water. Great stay! Could’ve happily stayed another day, which the owners have noted is a common piece of feedback they get and I can see why.

We've really enjoyed our stay in Tarras. The place is located in a very idyllic place, with nothing much around. Great to look at stars as there is no light. The house is well equipped. Craig and Jenelle were super helpful and friendly.

A lovely quiet place to stay, toasty warm with the fire, no light pollution which was awesome. It is just round the corner from Ayrburn which is stunning. Really comfortable and we would definitely come back here.

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!

Beautiful spot, Beautiful building and facilities. Amazing extras, coffee, choccies, breakfast

Wonderful stay !! We really enjoyed it A very peaceful and cozy place ✨

Firkins Retreat was a home away from home. This place was just a dream to stay at. The view was incredible. It felt very secluded and private with bush land and plants all around. The little touches really made it for myself and my partner, including kitchen amenities we don't have whilst travelling around, the hot spa, washing machine etc. We feel that everything was thought of for travellers, and more. The bed was our best sleep whilst travelling for sure. Brad was amazing with communication, very quick and clear and the place had instructions everywhere which was so helpful. This place was incredibly comfortable and warm and we would come back for sure.

We had a lovely stay at the Miners Hut. It was the perfect setup with the kitchen to make meals, private outdoor space to relax after a day out on the trails, with the added bonus of the hot tub. The Hut was warm, cozy, spacious and well designed. Claire is great host and easy to communicate with.

An absolutely wonderful farm cottage—it has everything you need! I had such a lovely stay here 😽. Angela even left sheep feed so I could feed the adorable sheeps. I also got to see chickens, a cat, and cows. Highly recommended for animal lovers! Plus, the electric blanket on the bed made me feel so cozy and happy.

Gorgeous little shepherds hut - thoughtful details and comfortable room. The bed was very comfy and the wood fired bath under the stars was breathtaking. Gavin was friendly and helpful!

An absolutely incredible place to stay. It was so peaceful, we loved the feel of the place and Kath was an amazing host. The attention to detail was amazing, everything was beautiful, we loved the fire and the candle-lit evenings. Can’t recommend staying here enough!

Sue’s place is absolutely amazing. She was extremely helpful and communicative before and met us when we arrived to explain everything and let us in, it would have been fine had she not but it was a lovely touch. I was working remotely from the tiny house and the WiFi was extremely fast. I couldn’t recommend a stay here more. The sunset from our vantage point on the hill was beautiful.

I was impressed right from the start, meeting Vaughn, witty reparte, helpful with local restaurants and food wine. suggestions. Great supply of hot water, bliss after trek over The Paparoa Track. Superb bed , linen and all amenities. Slept very well. Much appreciated the ideal location and vistas. Didn't find time to use the outdoor bath, will do so next time.

We had a lovely stay at this charming little stone cottage. It was beautiful, and the cozy fireplace added so much warmth and ambience. The toilet, shower, and kitchen were a short walk away, but everything was clean and well-equipped. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and would happily stay again!

Kathryn's house was exactly what we needed for a rest and recovery holiday. We stayed 10 days and were perfectly happy there for the entire time. Peaceful, stunning landscape. The drive into Arrowtown and Queenstown were quick and easy with the most breathtaking scenery that it was always a pleasure to drive and then return to the peace of Kathryn's airbnb. Loved meeting Cookie the dog and the goats and chickens at the end of the driveway. We loved the style of the house both architecturally and interior design. Loved having an open fire and sitting in the window seat. Thanks Kathryn.

We had a blast at Tanja's place. It's a lovely cabin with everything you need, surrounded by nature, fruit trees, chickens... I ate feijoas everyday! You can see and hear the fantails all around you, it's quite magical. It is also really well insulated which is a huge bonus when it starts to get cold at night. We highly recommend staying there, we loved it!

The most beautiful retreat amongst singing birds, nature, gardens and the river. We loved every minute of our stay especially the log burner and delicious ambience. Loveday has very tastefully furnished the house with style and nothings been missed. We were there when it was very cold and so we spent time reading books, and chilling - which we never seem to do at home! Both hosts were welcoming and delightful and gave us privacy while also stocking us up with wood for the fire. We will be back and can't wait to experience heaven once more! Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us and it was wonderful to meet you! Sue and Lucy

Beautiful cabin with stunning view and the most comfortable bed ever! A great little hideaway to explore the region. Highly recommended.
