Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Tekapo

We had a truly wonderful stay at the farm! The house was beautiful—spotlessly clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully decorated. We were there with our 9-month-old daughter, and she absolutely loved the animals—they were so gentle and adorable. One of the highlights was the amazing farm walk with Julie; she was so warm and knowledgeable. Her husband also showed us the sheep shearing, which was such a cool and unique experience. This stay was the perfect mix of relaxation, nature, and charm. Highly recommend!

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.

Loved our stay. The Black House was cozy, comfortable and warm. The perfect spot for us to relax and unwind. Close to the lakefront but away from the bustle. The outdoor tub was a great ammenity. Beds were super comfortable and the house was spotless. The fire made a cold rainy evening cozy and relaxing. The host provided heaps of useful information and recommendations. Highly recommend!!

Was awesome staying here, exactly what we needed. Thank you very much for having us. Great hosts.

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.

Spacious new home - comfortable after being out enjoying the outdoors at Lake Ohau and surrounds. Very comfortable and well equipped.

Such a great place to stay with a group for a weekend away, couldn’t rate this air BnB high enough! Amy was super easy to communicate with the overall experience was great! 😊

This home is in a beautiful and serene setting. It was about 1.5h from Christchurch airport and was the perfect antidote to the craziness of flying. At night, the only thing we could hear was the breeze and the gentle rain. I’d love to stay for a week. Annie was incredibly friendly and the welcome basket with homemade granola was tops. The basket also included potato chips made from the potatoes grown on the property! The kitchen was amazingly well stocked and my kid got to try Milo for the first time.

We absolutely loved staying at Jan’s place. Such a great location, with so many places nearby to visit. One day we visited Oamaru and the next Mt Cook. The geological sites near Kurow-Duntroon were amazing. The lakes are gorgeous, I only wish I brought my bike with me. Our dog also loved Jan’s place as she was safe and secure in the fully fenced gorgeous garden.

Very comfortable house for staying in and hanging out.

The place was close to the central strip of restaurants, market, sights and activities! Great location for our leg of the trip!

What an awesome spot just beautiful and a good base for traveling around the Mackenzie basin. Great amenities and well set up for families.

Highly recommend! Friendly and helpful. Warm and have everything in the kitchen. The weather is not good. Rain all day. If there have a table and seats inside will be great.

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.

A really beautiful cottage and so peaceful. close to town and Liz & George were responsive when I had questions.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Hosts are delightful, very helpful and full of local knowledge. Cottage was exactly what we expected of a farm stay. Breakfast items provided, including eggs from the farm. Place was clean and tidy and comfortable. Kitchen was very well equipped. All in all a great stay and highly recommended.

Loved staying at Meg’s place! It was a peaceful getaway. Loved seeing the horses and foals. Also enjoyed the very friendly dog and cat. The cat gets chatty when they see you and greets you when walking out to your car or coming back to the property. Facilities were great! Highly recommend and would stay again.

Comfortable, clean and beautiful setting for our short trip to Pleasant Point. Ann was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Modern, clean, calm and well appointed. Warren's Airbnb is a perfect base to explore Mount Cook, Tekapo (Mount John observatory), and Lake Ohau. Warren has created a place you'll want to return to.

So thankful for Judy's thoughtfulness with attention to detail to make our stay warm and welcoming.
