Barn vacation rentals in New Zealand

We had an excellent stay with no issues. Debbie and Peter were great hosts - we were out at the motor racing during the day and we came back to a laid fire ready to go. Very easy communication and such a hassle free place to stay for a large group. Ideal for a large group of people if you want to just stay a bit out of the main Rotorua and Taupo destinations - close enough to go for dinner, relaxing and quiet otherwise. Would definitely look at staying again for future events in Taupo and Rotorua.

Loved the quirkiness of the converted cowshed. Comfortable kitchen/lounge area, well equipped. No problem with 2 adults staying, needing to go out in weatherproof area to go to bathroom/kitchen. Insect screens on doors very helpful. Sue was great to chat with. Wonderful being able to get coffee and fresh fruit icecreams on site. Blueberries are magnificent.

Beautiful barn style, accommodates three families easily all with their own bathroom! The line is very luxurious and beds comfy Communication was quick and efficient at very late notice. The place did have a few cobwebs and dust from the road but I think that comes hand and hand with being out in the countryside. Stunning garden outlook to sit and have your morning coffee. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to other families or larger groups with all amenities supplied and a short drive to Te Arai beach. Thank you!

Could not recommend this place enough! I used this air bnb to get ready for my wedding and it was all I could have hoped for and more! The place was spacious and peaceful but had everything we needed. This place is a must stay!

We absolutely loved our stay. All the essentials + more- fresh eggs from their chickens, jam, chocolate and a bottle of wine. Loved meeting the chickens, sheep and Shirley the guinea fowl! Angela recommended Bike2Wine for bike rentals and their service was stellar. We will be back!

If you want a truly peaceful, rejuvenating escape in a beautiful serene location - highly recommend Susans place. Its rustuc, kitchy, full of personality and a great respite from city life. Susan is accomodating, friendly and lets you enjoy the pond and scenery in peace. Added bonus was no cell service at the Barn so we could switch off from the world - however Wifi at Susans house was accessible whenever we wanted (which wasnt that often) and we loved being off the grid for our 3 days. Thank you Susan and Sasha it was such a delight! x

This has to be the loveliest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. It couldn’t be better located to explore all the local wineries and eateries. The barn is a cosy, brilliantly equipped, perfect and pristine retreat after a day sampling Marlborough’s offerings. Andrew and Wendy have to be kindest and most thoughtful hosts out there. We had the most wonderfully relaxing 2 nights here.

Anna & Brian are the LOVELIEST HOST! And their place is the BEST Airbnb. The attention to detail and care for their guest is simply amazing. I will keep it short. But the world needs more people like you guys! Thank you. ☺️

In need of a quiet weekend and this was the perfect spot The Barn felt like home, soo clean and very peaceful Thank you

Dee was the most amazing host! We stayed with her during a sad occasion for my family. She was so accomodating and went out of her way to make sure we were looked after. She was understanding when we had extra family members (including our dogs) which meant a lot. Thank you Dee for your manaakitanga! Forever grateful.

We stayed because we were down this way shearing. Karie was great to communicate with and very friendly. The barn is lovely and loved the animals. Highly recommend this property Cheers

From the moment we arrived, Trish and Al made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The hosts were truly exceptional – friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly generous. The lodgings were extremely comfortable and well-equipped, providing everything we could possibly need and more. It was clear that Trish and Al have put a lot of thought into the space, with every detail meticulously planned. We especially loved spending time in the beautiful courtyard, which had comfortable chairs, a table, and a large umbrella – a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A special highlight was the delicious homemade sourdough, biscuits, and brownies that Trish and Al baked for us – it was such a thoughtful touch and made our stay feel even more special. I truly didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return! I would highly recommend.

This place is a great option for a family if you’re looking for something peaceful and a little off the beaten path. Great access to stores if you need them and lots of fun stuff to do for the little ones.

Super friendly hosts and was the perfect place for us to stay for a weekend getaway. Close to the farmers market and beaches. We also enjoyed the game room after a day out in the sun. Plenty of options for dinner just down the road and lots of space for a family of 7!

Perhaps would've been nice to meet the host(s) before checkout day, but not a problem... Pleased Finn helped with the bike rack issue.

We had a superb one night stay with Sally and Murray on our way to the Banks Peninsula. They were flexible, helpful and very welcoming. We enjoyed chatting to them, the breakfast was delicious and the garden was a tranquil haven. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place to stay, especially for larger groups. Kids had an absolute ball. Lovely set away location, very safe and peaceful. Would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend to other uses

Such a wonderful stay. Only negative is that we couldn’t stay longer! If you’re looking for a home stay away from home, this is your place! We felt like we had checked into an old friend’s place. It’s a lovely home on a gorgeous setting. It ended up raining but Jen was so clever and gave us some alternative ideas which were amazingly fun (and we would never have found them if it hadn’t been for her suggestion). This is a hidden gem for sure!!

The home is spacious but you do not feel disconnected. Beautiful surroundings and well equipt kitchen. The indoor outdoor flow gave as an additional seating area for dinners etc. Fabulous facilities could not think of anything else that would be needed there. Would highly recommend The Red Barn.

Awesome place to stay. Couldn't recommend more. Beautiful, quiet location. House had heaps of character and was fitting out with anything and everything you'd need. There's not a lot nearby other than a few dine-in food places, but that didn't bother us at all.

We had another fantastic stay at this accommodation and we look forward to our next stay in the near future.

Great rustic peacfull spot awosome
