Te Manahuna Retreat: Cottage/Hot Tub Near Mt Cook

JudithRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Can’t say enough about this accommodation! Such a cute little space, and our hosts have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The wood fired hot tub does take a while to heat up, but once you get it going, it’s magical. Kitchen was compact and had everything we needed. Fireplace was warm and cozy. We did have a bit of a struggle to get the fires going, but Amy was so helpful and responsive and came right over to help us out. Would love to come stay here again!

Three Creeks Cottage

DanielleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.
An outdoor kitchen area features a gas barbecue grill and a sleek stainless steel cabinet with a sink and a small refrigerator. The space is covered and lined with wooden beams, enhancing the open feel, while wooden decking provides a sturdy floor.

Mackenzie Cottage - Free Wifi

CarolRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Leanne’s lovely, clean, warm & beautiful home looks so good. Our 2 families enjoyed these 2-night stays. The fashion clean kitchen with full set of kitchenware is very useful. All the rooms are delicate and compact, but still warm & clean. And Twizel is only 40mins to Mountain Cook or Tekapo Lake, very convenient as well. We recommend you (a small group) to visit Leanne’s great home.

Snowshoe Cottage

SharolynRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Great location with views of Lake Middleton from the lounge and 1 bedroom. Loved all the decor touches to make the cottage live up to it's "Snowshoe" name. Perfectly clean and entry was simple (even in the dark) when we arrived. Even though we had a lot of rain during our stay, the washing machine and dryer meant we weren't impeeded - just as easy as being at home. Fully equipped kitchen. Would love to stay again when we are back in the Aoraki region!

Cosy Cottage Overlooking Lake Pukaki

PriyaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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.

Cricklewood Farmstay, Alpaca walk and hot tub

SuminRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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!
