South Island Budget-Friendly Cottage Accommodation

Adulting can be rough. You love your job, and your sweetheart is the best, but next time someone says “think outside the box” or “we’ll park that”, you just might throw a fit. When was the last time you had one of those really deep convos with your person, anyway? It sounds like you need a holiday, and you’ve come to the right place. Budget-friendly cottage accommodation in South Island will have you feeling like your SO is the peanut butter to your jelly again in no time.

We’re not here to tell you what you want—we think you already know. You want a spot that’s totally relaxing, but still has plenty of things to do, you know, if you feel like it. You want great scenery, and you want food that’s worthy of your number one hashtag: #nomnom. Cottage getaways to South Island definitely fit the bill.

Yes, the scenery is stunning, but on a romantic cottage holiday, it’s what’s inside that counts. Today’s cottages are filled with those little touches of luxury, like fine bath amenities and gourmet kitchens. You know the saying about how the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach? Don’t miss your chance to impress this holiday—even if that just means remembering their favourite wine. (Hey, that still counts!)

Before you can check out entirely, you’ve got a few last bits of adulting to take care of: pick your perfect cheap country cottage in South Island, then type up that email to your boss and request your annual leave. We’re sure they’ll understand.
