Cottage vacation rentals in Mackenzie District

Jackie & Murray were very welcoming and do such a nice job! Murray met us at check in and walked us to our spot. The place was clean and very organized- we had everything we needed. Beds, pillows, & sheets were all super comfy too.

Loved staying here, the accomodation was beautiful! Very welcoming host and spotless amenities!

We had a lovely stay at Tania’s place. The cottage had everything we needed and was in the perfect location for exploring the Mount Cook area. Would highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely beautiful, one of the best stays I’ve ever had. Definitely the highlight of the trip. Beautiful Bath tub and cozy night in as the fire place sets the mood. Definitely recommend staying here wish we booked more than one night

I selected this house for its central location to visit Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo. Location was good for those days of exploring. Twizel is very small, though cute. I took advantage of what the house offers with full kitchen and enjoyed the outdoor bath to star gaze. The house is beautifully built and comfortable. Bed was super comfy, great shower and appreciated being able to do laundry.

Lovely, peaceful cottage with beautiful mountain views. The king bed was super comfy, and everything was clean and well-equipped. Great spot for a quiet, nature-filled getaway.

One of the best equipped bnbs we have stayed at, after experiencing almost a hundred all over the world It is actually a gem in Twizel for the following reasons: - fabulous outdoor hottub; - squeaky clean and spick and span; - quiet but easily accessible by car to supermarkets and restaurants; - Responsive host; - Facilities just as described, almost brand new, wonderful

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

Fabulous location. Beautiful walk along the lake to the Church and township. We loved being able to light a fire after watching the stars on a clear, cool night.

We had such an amazing time in Henry's and Rachel's cottage. The place is very cozy and has a great vibe. Love the fireplace! Would definitely come back 😊

Such an awesome spot. Had our own private cottage behind the shops with parking. The fridge was stocked with a few breakfast items and they even brought us bread for the morning for toast. There’s a little coffee cart in front with the shops so we were able to grab a cup before heading to check out Lake Tekapo and the observatory. We were greeted by Chickie, a solo chicken who was very friendly and we were also told there were alpacas on the property, but didn’t see any due to the weather probably. Definitely a unique and interest spot to check out, but still nice and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

What a perfect spot for a weekend away, walking distance to everything and the house has everything you need! Wish i could've stayed longer.

Clare is an amazing host and her house makes you feel at home. I couldn't recommend this place more. my mum, husband, dog and baby all loved it. such a peaceful retreat. thank you again Clare. until next time !

Beautiful and cosy farm stay. Away from other other houses so we could be in complete darkness at night and see the Milky Way! Charlotte was very quick with her responses and Chad was kind enough to show us the calves and the farm.

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

Beautiful lakefront cottage with incredible views and a quiet and private location. This home is older but clean and well-maintained. There is no central heat or AC but the space heaters were effective. The host provided lots of information about activities. The house is located about 35-45 minutes to Mount Cook National Park and Lake Tekapo, 7 minutes from Lake Pukaki retreat (stargazing) and 15-20 minutes from Twizel with shopping and restaurants. The house was larger than expected with 4 twin and 1 larger (queen or king?) bed. Checkin was easy, kitchen was well-equipped and our stay was great.

We had a wonderful stay at Marianne and Pascal’s place. They were incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, and even provided us with delicious milk, bread, and other food items upon arrival. One of the highlights of our stay was the farm tour—they introduced us to their horses, sheep, chickens, and alpacas, and we had the chance to interact with them up close. It was such a fun and memorable experience. They also helped us light the fireplace, making the house cozy and warm. The accommodation was well-equipped with everything we needed. Highly recommended!
