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.

Great cozy cottage, would have loved to have stayed longer, amazing view. Would happily book again.

We really enjoyed our stay, comfortable and relaxing. Brendon was really responsive and helpful. A pleasure and certainly look to come again

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.

Loved our stay have never been to a place like this was a very cool experience!

This was my second stay at Harriet’s cottage, it’s a great spot to stop. As always I appreciate being able to bring my dog along too. Thanks again!

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!

Such an amazing spot, Geoff was a great host, had the fire roaring for us when we arrived and walked us through all the amenities and local attractions. Beautiful views to wake up to on a winters morning!

Absolutely Perfect Stay in Christchurch! 🌿🌟 We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Christchurch! The cottage is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. The location is ideal — tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood, yet just a short drive or easy walk to the local cafes and beautiful parks. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Christchurch.

Fantastic would be selling it short! Not only is Brad, super responsive and accomodating, but the location itself over seeing the Bay Area, the outdoor tub (amazing way to wake up) and the intuitive layout inside along with the automation makes this stay an absolute gem!

Awesome little place! By far the nicest AirBnB I have stayed at so far. Everything in the house is so well thought out. From the heated towel bars and bathroom floor to the functional little kitchen. Would stay here again in a heart beat if I was ever back in the area.

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.

We really liked the place, especially the bath at night under the stars and with luck the aurora australis. We had a visit from the friendly dog ​​and we loved it. We woke up in the morning with birds singing and that breathtaking view. I highly recommend it.

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.

Vaughn is the sweetest host he loves to start you off on your stay with a chat about how the Bach came to be and it was sweet to hear how much pride he takes in the place. Super comfy bed and so close to walk along the beach. His “bible” of things to do was very useful and we wish we’d been able to do more during our short stay!

What a wonderful place to stay! We especially enjoyed the breathtaking views, the window seat, and nice tea selections and French press coffee. It was nice of Kath to offer early check in and to meet us when we arrived to share some instructions.

We had the most magical stay here! It was exactly as advertised - secluded, romantic and felt like a world away. There were personalised touches which were so appreciated and made our stay so special. We'll be coming back!

We were really looking forward to the quiet, longing to disconnect. Andrew and Linda’s place provided the perfect solitude. Well-designed and built, we could tell that the space has been thoughtfully curated, with all the amenities that you need. We loved the book with the construction photos - it adds a personal touch. Thank you!

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

So cosy and peaceful! We loved our stay.

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