Cabin holiday rentals in Ben Ohau

My wife and I were lucky enough to spend a week at Skylark Cabin and we could not imagine a better holiday. We had an amazing time. From the inspired architecture of the cabin istelf, to the thoughtful and luxurious fitout and furnishings - Garry & Liz have made this tranquil escape somewhere you will always remember and cherish. Spotlessly clean, well stocked, extremely comfortable, the best shower head in the Southern Hemisphere - the only thing I would change is the length of our stay, we'd still be there! Communication with Garry and Liz was fantastic - simply the best hosts. Skylark is something quite special - thankyou for a wonderful stay!

Absolutely stunning property in a great location as a base for Lake Pukaki/Mt Cook etc. we were very lucky to witness snowfall which made staying here such a magical experience. Property is exactly as pictured and described - super cosy with good heating during winter too.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable New Zealand experience, don’t miss out on staying at Jana’s cottage! It’s stunning beyond words, and I’d love to come back again someday.

This place is fantastic. The hits are wonderfully set out in private locations. They are clean and tidy, the bed is comfortable and the hot tub is highly recommended. We would definitely stay again of we were passing through Fairlie.

Fantastic place to stay! Located close to Lake Tekapo and lots of other beautiful locations. The house is in a dark sky area and without clouds would offer spectacular views of the night sky whilst enjoying the hot tub. We had everything we needed and would highly recommend this quirky house and had great fun exploring the area and playing the games in the upstairs room. Thank you so much 😊

David and Toni's place is a gem! David had the fire going in the hut and the tubs were already hot by the time we arrived. He quickly showed us how to add wood to the tubs, stir to circulate the water, and introduce cold water to regulate the temperature. Toni brought our breakfast by and then they left us to it. The outdoor baths were by far the highlight of the stay. It was also great to be able to have our dog Harvey with us! They have thought of many things to make the stay special. A nice bottle of sauv, chocolate, bath robes, and contintental breakfast was included. David gave great advice for the surrounding area and where would be a good place to go for a morning run. We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks for helping make Kotomi's birthday special! By far, one of the nicest places we have stayed and confirmation of what makes Air BnB special still today. All the best, Jordan & Kotomi

This place is a must stay! The bath outside under the stars is incredible, the quiet peaceful location is just what you need for an escape. Robyn and Dan were excellent hosts, quick to respond, had lots of local recommendations, and they made us feel very welcome. The house was very clean, had every amenity we needed, the softest bathrobes, and the welcome champagne paired nicely with a bath under the stars. This stay was the start of our anniversary trip around New Zealand and it was the perfect start to our trip!

Kenny’s place is absolutely amazing! The cabin is surrounded by snowy mountains on three sides! The view is way better than all those tourist attractions we went to! It’s also very private and located away from the crowd and the hassle of cities. The fireplace was also so warm! The mattress was very soft and the cows and sheep we saw along the way were so polite and fun! Definitely recommend!!!!

This cabin was the perfect hidden getaway—peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by stunning mountain views. It truly felt like a retreat from the everyday. The space was well-equipped and thoughtfully designed, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, making sure everything was just right. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and recharge. Highly recommended!

Christine’s place is amazingly beautiful. Made of huge wooden logs, which were pretty much hurricane proof. Really large upper master bedroom. Pristine bathroom with heated floors. Lots of ammenities in the kitchen, and cosy and warm when we walked inside, what more could you ask for…well actually we wish it snowed when we were there because I’m sure it would have looked amazing, but that’s not the owners fault 😂 There’s a four square grocery store not too far away and restaurants and many gorgeous lakes. Great location and away from the hustle and bustle of big towns. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay! The place was nice and cozy, conveniently located near restaurants (within 2km), and the internet was great. It truly had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Twizel in the future!

We were really looking forward to the quiet, longing to disconnect. Andrew and Linda’s place provided the perfect solitude. Well-designed and built, we could tell that the space has been thoughtfully curated, with all the amenities that you need. We loved the book with the construction photos - it adds a personal touch. Thank you!

The Best Air BnB we have ever been too. A very special place in NZ. Has everything you need if you want to be set away from the world. If you want walks views and peace this place is the one. Kenny has create a perfect place to stay and enjoy the surroundings with great communication throughout the booking process. Can’t wait to book a trip again soon.
