Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tekapo

Julies place was beautiful warm and cosy felt like home. The cottage was so well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Plus gorgeous brekkie supplies. The bed was a super king fabulous. I did the farm tour was so wonderful loved it... was the cherry on the cake feeding Tommy the sheep his bottle. highly recommend this gorgeous cottage.

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.

Lovely, cozy house with unique architectural design. Had a really nice time in Lake Tekapo and Simon was so attentive. We even got to see the Southern Lights from the hill behind.

Great stay! Tania’s place is in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood—super quiet and relaxing. The room was very clean, and it’s just about 45 minutes from the Mount Cook area, which was perfect for me. Tania was super kind and even reminded me about the hot tub—it’s tucked away in its own private spot under the stars, and honestly, it was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!

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.

Great location, plenty of parking on the street. Very happy and we had a fun weekend.

Wonderful location with amazing views to wake up too, great house nicely decorated and with everything you need . Janet was very responsive and happy to help. We will be back :)

Such a beautiful home, you can definitely see how a real family in NZ upbringing close to nature, plenty of memories. Such a warm and sweet family. The fireplace and stag head definitely adds a lot of character to home. The rain shower felt amazing, and the bath tub with view definitely melts away your sore body and feet after a long hike. The view of the mountain really breathtaking. The kitchen is very well equipped and the fridge is big enough for a family. We stay for 3 nights and really enjoyed that we took a day off just to stay home and just chilling. At night with clear sky you get to see the Milky Way, shooting stars and even aurora! Definitely one of our unforgettable highlight in NZ trip!

The lodge fully accommodating to all our needs as a big family. The sleds in the garage were at our disposal and the 3 surrounding properties made for perfect slopes constructions. There were plenty of board games to keep the kids entertained and the views of the lake and mountains were impeccable. House was nice and spacious and definitely felt like a home more than a house. Will definitely come back next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s place. We loved all of the details and the interesting art, books and furniture. It felt really homely and there were lots of helpful and thoughtful touches. The beds were all really comfortable with lovely fresh linen. Jan was an incredible host who really made sure that our stay was enjoyable. She was accommodating with a few last minute changes and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely be booking a stay at Jans the next time we are in Otematata.

We loved it and great it was dog friendly . Warm and easy to heat

Such an amazing property and stay . Beautiful views and we were lucky enough to get snow in the morning . Close to everything you need and plenty of room for a family of 4 adults . Definitely recommend

Wow great place great house everything you need and more walkable to Caroline bay a f so close to town and beautifully done inside. Will definitely stay again

The room is very close to Lake Tikapo. The room is clean and tidy. The information booklets in the room are beautiful. I will stay here again next time.

Absolutely beautiful home with stunning views! The house was immaculate with a very well equipped kitchen, lovely comfortable beds & excellent heating. Clear instructions on how to use everything which was super helpful. Nicole was friendly & responsive. A lovely home to stay in, thank you!

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.

Drew and Sally were the sweetest! They made the effort to meet us when we arrived, showed us around and explained how certain items worked. Their pantry was full and they provided us milk, a loaf of bread, and farm fresh eggs which we enjoyed a lot! There were two rooms: the first was with one big bed suitable for a couple, and the second room was huge and housed 4 beds comfortably. We really enjoyed our stay and Koa, the friendliest dog was a bonus! Before we left, we requested for a short tour around the farm and understood the sustainable practices that the family is so passionate about. We cannot thank you enough, Drew and Sally, we hope to be back someday!

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

Always a treat to stay here ... 10/10

We loved staying in Warren's house. The combustion fire was very effective and created a lovely atmosphere. The house is a good size, sparkling clean, very well appointed and a great layout for families or two - three couples to stay. Lots of things left in the pantry like oil, tomato sauce and other things that would come in handy to save you having to buy everything if you want to cook your own meals. Overall, highly recommend this lovely home to anyone visiting Twizel.

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