Farmstay holiday rentals in Queenstown-Lakes District

I loved driving through the cherry tree lined entrance after a day of exploring the area. Sitting in the courtyard with a drink, walking round the garden getting inspired. Very restful. The apartment was light and had everything you needed. Having fresh eggs for breakfast from the chickens you could watch outside the kitchen window and homemade plum jam harvested off the farm. I was there in harvest time so you saw pumpkins, walnuts, figs, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, tomatoes, all many of plants. It inspired me to do more in my own patch! Lovely informative chats with Sharon and Julie. Felt welcomed and having little Coco the dog around the place was good too. For the type of holiday I wanted it was the perfect spot.

You will not be disappointed by this incredible stay! The pictures are amazing but the house is more impressive in real life. Such an incredible place to relax, recharge and enjoy quiet nights. Waking to the view of snow on the mountains was just spectacular. Extremely comfortable bed, huge spaces and beautiful outlook from every angle. Thanks for having us - we will be back!

WOW. What a beautiful stay. We’ve stayed at many Airbnbs on our journey across NZ and Stu’s was one of the best. Not only is it super unique, it has amazing views, feels private, and has everything you need. It feels luxurious and there is an eye for the details. The back patio was especially lovely. Bonus points for having Netflix that we didn’t have to sign into ourselves. It’s nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Queenstown, but still be close to a lot of the wineries. We didn’t an all-day wine tour that picked us up there no problem. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We wish we could’ve admired the view even longer!

Celia is very nice. Her place is spotless and comfortable. Wish I could go back again.

Wow Beautiful, property in a valley surrounded by the New Zealand Southern Alps. Short walk across a field to the river directly behind them. We spent half a day walking along the water. Excellent location for anyone looking to hike/tramp. Close to Brewster Hut Trek and there is a jet boat service you can hire to transport you down the river to hiking trails in Mount Aspiring National Park. Some helicopter options too. Bridget, the host, is very knowledgeable about New Zealand’s tramping. We had some heavy rain part of the time, and she suggested a few trails that would not be too affected. We had a great walk through a temperate rainforest, across a swing bridge, by several waterfalls and ended with a view high above the treetops. Very comfortable, quiet, clean and well set up private studio with private entrance. When it’s clear the stars are amazing. Can't say enough good things about Bridget. The dogs are well behaved and adorable. Definitely recommend!

I cannot overstate how much we loved this Airbnb. The outside area was stunning. Having a real kitchen was wonderful. The whole place was so peaceful and relaxing. Lynne was a fabulous host and was incredibly helpful. (Also, being able to visit Beryl the pig was such a treat!)

Beautiful beautiful airbnb. Vicki and Remie were lovely. View 10/10. If i’m back in queenstown i would love to stay again. Will recommend to friends and family.

Craig and Jenelles place is spotlessly clean, has all the amenities needed and sits in an absolutely lovely position with views to die for. We loved their dog and would have loved to stay longer to enjoy this peaceful space more.

Beautiful tranquil place-photos don’t do justice to the views which are spectacular.Angela was wonderful with recommendations.

We cannot say enough good things about this fantastic Lavender Farm home. It is beautifully decorated, was spotlessly clean, incredibly well-equipped, the location was very handy and the grounds just lovely. We were impressed with how warm the house stayed overnight, even on very crisp mornings—the quality of build is imminently evident. Our family extended our stay as we couldn’t bear to leave, and we wish we could live there forever. Thank you as well to Jane for being a responsive host, and we highly rate this experience to future guests.

Maria is an incredible host, communicative and helpful whilst giving us space. Her property was welcoming, warm, characterful and immaculate. My daughter and I had a wonderful, peaceful stay and deeply appreciated conversing with the animals and enjoying the outdoor space. We slept like logs with the logburner and extremely comfortable beds. This is the perfect place to slow down and breathe. Stunning views all around. We hope to return for another stay one day.

My friend and I loved our stay - the place was clean and Aurelia's instructions for getting to the place were very helpful especially as the place is in a more secluded/private area. It is about 30 mins out from centre of Queenstown. Aurelia came to greet us at the beginning of our stay, she made herself super approachable and available to be contacted if we ever needed to. She also came out to say good bye at the end of our stay - it was really nice to meet the host, it added a personal touch to our stay. They also have a very friendly and affectionate cat that occasionally visits the place ☺️

We checked out a day earlier because of a water issue at the property due to external reasons. Karen refunded the entire amount. That said, the property is beautiful with amazing views. it's done up very tastefully with modern and high quality amenities. Very serene, private surroundings. Great for exploring the Wanaka region.

This was our second stay here - it was as lovely and comfortable as last time. This time we even got a visit from the very affectionate cat, and had the delight of being able to feed the ducks, hens, rooster and the gorgeous highland cows. The space is well equipped, the surrounds are so peaceful, and the host is very responsive.

Jennifer is definitely a super host! She came to greet us personally and her home smells of freshly picked peonies. Knowing that we are from Singapore and not used to the cold weather, she set up the fireplace to keep us warm (and for the experience). She also brought out her game animals to interact with our children. Couldn’t ask for more :)

Really cool place just a short walk from town. The hill was steep but we loved it and preferred walking everywhere (Uber and taxis are easily available too in case it's raining). There's a great view from the place. We also did a hike straight behind the house that was super beautiful (and also very steep). Had a blast on the Shotover Jet, ate great food, and throughly enjoyed Queenstown! We'll be back!

We had 5 days in paradise at Kath’s place. The views were amazing! We appreciated Kath’s friendly welcome and offer of produce from her garden. She provided great hiking tips and suggestions for things to do in the area. Kath’s, place was clean and very comfortable. We always looked forward to coming back after a busy day to cook a meal and stare out the window at the gorgeous mountains. We really hope to return for another memorable stay.

Our stay at Letti and Hamish's was amazing. It was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. We hung out on the farm for many days and soaked up the mountain sun -- playing with the animals, jumping on the trampoline, sitting in the spa. It was very near to Arrowtown - a beautiful small town with some great restaurants and neat things for our family to do. It wasn't far from Queenstown where there is loads to do if you want more action. Biking the area was a blast, too. We were sad to go! We will look for a repeat stay if we find ourselves back in southern New Zealand!

Gibston Valley Cottage is a great place to stay. Set in the beautiful Gibston Valley with easy access to the many attractions of Otago/Lakes area. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed, including laundry facilities. Thank you Brittany, you were an excellent host, and we appreciated your responsiveness which made things easier for us and allowed us to use our time in the area to the full.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cosy and tranquil cottage! Tucked away in the heart of wine country, it was the perfect peaceful escape. Located just a short drive to the beautiful vineyards and within walking distance of the iconic Bannockburn Hotel, this is a gem of a place. Jackie our host was wonderful, friendly and had some fantastic suggestions for local experiences and places to see. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Anyone wanting to stay in Cromwell do not look anywhere else but this cottage. Spacious, fantastic cottage garden complete with rabbits, hedgehogs, quails and many other birds. The scenery of lake Dunston and the mountains from the patio is to die for. Lucie is a wonderful host replying within minutes to any queries. While staying at the accommodation one tour which we highly recommend is the Clyde Dam Tour.

The room was great and private and also saw the cute Oscar cat
