The space Experienced hosts welcome you to Te Manahuna, a one-of-a-kind glamping and tiny house experience. Our property's name, inspired by the Maori term for the Mackenzie Basin, reflects the stunning beauty of our surroundings— that we can’t wait to share with you. At Te Manahuna, we invite you to step into a world where nature's calm greets you at every turn. Our modern studio is more than just a place to stay; it's a sanctuary where the splendour of the MacKenzie Region becomes a part of your daily experience. Imagine waking to the soft chorus of local birdlife, spending your days exploring the vast, untouched landscapes, and evenings soaking in an outdoor bath under a canopy of stars. While the space includes thoughtful touches like a cosy queen bed dressed in fine linen and a well-appointed kitchenette, it's undoubtedly the seamless blend with nature that will truly enhance your stay, making each moment at Te Manahuna unforgettable. Here, it’s not just about the luxurious bed or the plush towels—though they certainly add to your comfort. It's about creating moments that resonate deeply, connecting you to the environment, and nourishing your spirit. Let Te Manahuna be your retreat, where every detail enhances your bond with this breathtaking part of the world. Guest access Located on the outskirts of Fairlie, Te Manahuna is conveniently situated halfway between Queenstown and Christchurch, and just 35 minutes from Lake Tekapo. All of the modern conveniences and amenities you could need are a short 5-minute drive away in the township of Fairlie, including the famous pies from Fairlie Bakehouse. We recommend having your own transport to the property which is accessible from SH8. On-site parking is available. Other things to note We look forward to welcoming you to this amazing space. We simply ask that you respect these guidelines during your stay: Please be mindful of the quiet environment and our neighbours by keeping noise to a minimum after 10 PM. Please don’t light any fires, as Te Manahuna is situated in a rural area and open flames pose a threat to people’s homes, businesses, and livelihoods. Please refrain from smoking inside the tiny house, for the wellbeing of future guests.
