Mount Cook Station Huts

Lake Tekapo

The tent includes a shared bathroom equipped with a shower. The tent features outdoor furniture. The unit offers 2 beds.

Situated near Lake Tekapo in the Canterbury region, Mount Cook Station Huts provides accommodation with free WiFi. I loved the calm environment and the beautiful, comfy huts. Everything was super clean and tidy. I really like the closeness of animals like cute fallow deers and that they don't fear people. All in all I really recommend this place for nature enthusiastic, relaxed people.

Cozy Glamping Cabins

Motueka

Situated in Motueka in the Tasman region with Motueka Saltwater Baths nearby, Cozy Glamping Cabins features accommodation with free private parking. The property has garden views, and is 46 km from Trafalgar Park. The property is non-smoking and is located 45 km from Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson. Really cosy room and comfy bed. As the name describes it (glamping), the room is very small but the bed is comfy and the linen was really nice. The description lists the accommodation as a shared bathroom but I had it all to myself (along with kitchenette and laundry) which was certainly nice for this solo traveller! I later learnt that for the moment, the individuals or group who have booked have exclusive use of the bathroom which you’re not sharing it with strangers (there are two other glamping cabins). Everything was immaculately clean. The accommodation is on the edge of town but I liked the location as it’s closer to the coast and a swimming spot. Communication with the owner was fab, she even suggested a few dinner spots which was thoughtful.

Amazing tiny home in an awesome quiet, peaceful and elevated location with spectacular views down Akaroa harbour. 15 min drive into Akaroa but the tranquil peaceful location is magic. Accomodation is on a lavender farm and there are walking trails and full access to the rows of lavender. Lyn and Malcolm were exceptional hosts! Very friendly, kind and at tentative to our needs. Make sure to purchase some pacific blue lavender essential oil! Nice touches in the tiny house - with cushions that showcase the indigenous pigeons the place is named after and lavender water spray. Note that the toilet is a cassette toilet - this was not a problem for us - but it may be a surprise to others
