South Island Country Accommodation & Cottages
We love the city as much as the next person. The lights, the activities, the endless things to see and do—in fact, maybe too many. Sometimes, you just need to turn your brain off. We get it. You know where you won’t find any traffic, and you’ll never have to wait in line to get a coffee? The country. Yep, that place with rolling hills, chirping birds, and a pace of life that’s just a little bit slower. High-country accommodation in South Island nails all those things. Trust us, it’s the getaway you need right now.
The friendly faces in South Island can’t wait to meet you and show you around. Grab your groceries at the nearest store so you can cook up a delicious meal later, but first, stop by the local watering hole for a cold one and some conversation. Once you’re settled into your country cabin, you’ll be grateful the locals showed you that bottle-o so you could stock up. Kicking back in South Island country cottages feels like a breath of fresh air. In fact, why not throw open those windows and let the breeze blow through? We could swear the air is actually better for you here.
For city-dwelling folk, country retreats are a tradition as old as time itself. But your accommodation doesn’t have to be old-fashioned. Wotif has South Island country houses with all the latest amenities, and our prices won’t even put a dent in your bank account. Check out our selection and grab a great deal before it’s gone. You’ll thank us later.
