Farmstay holiday rentals in Timaru District

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.

Great house to stay in Fairlie. Great location and views. House is well equipped and comfortable. Great hosts thank you.

Great rural location - perfect for the event we were attending at Claremont Hall which is next door. Not in town, so you need a car to access this property. But Timaru is only 10 mins away & has everything you may need (supermarkets, restaurants, shops, etc).

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.

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

We had an amazing time at the lodge with 16 adults for a birthday weekend, plenty of space for everyone, relaxed check in and check out, well equipped and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Lynne’s instructions helped me find the place easily. Really peaceful location and beautiful property

An absolutely magic place to stay. It impresesed in every way. I couldn’t have been more lucky finding this. From the house to Mary and her tremendous hospitality, the brilliant dogs and the superb garden. It had it all. Brilliant

Beautiful, clean and cozy cabin that has everything you need. The host is a very nice guy that is helpful as well. Would definitely come back to stay at that lovely airBnB

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

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at James's place and it was equally as good as the 1st time. For us Racing at Levels was magic, just being down the road. We were able to relax within a few minutes of the track. Plenty of room for a big Race Trailer. James a very responsive host and very helpful with early check in and being able to leave the trailer for an extra couple of hours after checkout. If James will have us & the house is free we will definately be staying again

We stayed for two nights as a family of three at a wonderful accommodation in a beautiful location. We became very close with the dog, Zack, and enjoyed peaceful moments together, taking walks and going for runs. The breakfast prepared by Adele was delightful, and the freshly baked croissants were especially delicious. We hope to visit again someday!

Tracy's place is such a peaceful location with great views of the mountains. Everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay. We thoroughly recommend to other guests.

The environment was exceptional — lush green meadows, flocks of sheep grazing peacefully, distant mountains shrouded in mist and clouds. It was the best airbnb I’ve ever stayed.

The cottage is a beautiful, well-appointed nest from which to explore Peel Forest, Geraldine, and further afield. Although the photos are beautiful, they don’t capture the boundless charm and serene nature of the property. 100% recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at Waikonini Homestead! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with tea and cake, setting the tone for a truly delightful experience. We stayed one night in ‘Owen’s Room’, and as no other guests were booked during our visit, the homestead felt wonderfully tranquil. The warm, cozy bed made for an incredibly comfortable night, and the meals were a perfect finish to the night. Dinner (prebooked) featured a fish pie, followed by a mince tart with homemade custard—comfort food at its very finest. Mary, our host, truly made the experience unforgettable. Her warm hospitality and engaging conversations about travel, dogs, and life made us feel completely at home. And her delightful Corgis, Peppi and Anne—oh, they were absolutely adorable! The homestead itself is a treasure—an elegant old home surrounded by stunning grounds that invite you to relax and explore. The perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort.

This is a wonderful space for any traveller. The location and stay is unique with a vintage touch. Mary is a warm and considerate host.

I highly recommend booking the hot tub and having a soak while the sunsets

Lovely house with a charming country feel. The interior is spacious, with plenty of room to relax. We especially loved the large fireplace, and the big windows that let you enjoy the surrounding nature. The area is peaceful and quiet, making it an ideal getaway. The host was very kind — she allowed us an early check-in.
