Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Tekapo

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!!

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!

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.

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.

What a find! Great central location, bigger than expected. Beautiful older style apartment lovingly maintained and decorated. The washing machine and dryer a huge bonus. The kitchen was fully functional - had everything you needed. Loved the large comfortable lounge room. Beds super comfy, fresh quality linen. Loved that this was more like a free standing home. All the little things had been added for comfort - an umbrella, shopping bags, heating in all rooms, lots of reading material! This is a great spot to stay and explore Timaru or just chill with family. Loved it and would highly recommend.

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.

We love peaceful and private places and Drew and Sally's place was exactly what we wanted. We were greeted on arrival by Sally and Koa a very friendly black Labrador and within an hour we were down at the river with Koa for company. The accommodation has an eclectic mix of furniture and was very clean. There are plenty of thoughtful touches including provisions on arrival and very local produce grown on their own vegetable plot which we encouraged to use. We stayed only two nights as we were passing through, but we'd happily stay much longer next time if we're in the area. Sally and Drew are very friendly and we chatted about mutual interests including the local bird life - little touches which made our short visit memorable. Thanks Drew and Sally.

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.

This place was ideal for my writing retreat. It had everything I needed and was very comfortable. Having a writing desk and a proper computer chair was a real bonus and meant I could get on with my work and not end up with back ache. Lovely barn eggs and milk left for me too. I already am thinking about when I can come again! Thank you so much for everything!

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.
