Country Retreats in South Island

Life is good. You’ve got a great squad, full weekends, and maybe even a job you love. Also, your outfit today is on point, and you know it. But there is one thing you could improve: You just don’t have time to get out of town on the reg. Yes, the struggle is real, but we’ve got a solution—a case of wine, your best friends, and country accommodation in South Island.

What’s better than fresh air and new selfie locations? Besides brunch with your besties and a full glass of champagne, we can’t think of much, and honestly, you can have those at your country house, too. Throw open those windows and let the breeze blow through, not only for the fresh air, but also for an amazing windswept selfie—duh. There’s literally nothing more charming than a country house, and when you add in the scenery of South Island, let’s just say you’re going to have more than a few amazing photo ops.

Think it all sounds too good to be cheap? Wrong. You can stay in country cottages on a budget. South Island country houses are perfect for a BYOB, totally laid-back holiday. And we’ve got deals on country houses that will break the internet faster than Kimye.

It’s easy to make your next holiday the GOAT with cheap country retreats in South Island from lastminute.com.au. You’ll save so much cash, you can upgrade your brunch champagne from Yellow Tail to Dom Pérignon…or just buy 20 bottles of Yellow Tail. We won’t judge.
