Private suite holiday rentals in Canterbury

Loved our stay at Ryo's place in Lake Tekapo. It was perfectly located near the village area of shops and restaurants. We appreciated Ryo's decorating design touches and all of her local recommendations. Definitely would stay there again.

I enjoyed my stay here. There's plenty of things stocked for the guests. Having a washing machine was nice too. It has comfortable armchairs in the living space. My only complaint is the shower has poor pressure and doesn't get very hot. It has an unusual mechanism with no pressure control, just temperature.

Rachel's place was very quiet and peaceful. Our kids loved the ruralness and seeing the chickens. The fresh eggs and homemade bread were a special touch. Unfortunately due to other circumstances we were only able to spend one night at Rachel's place instead of our scheduled 2 nights. Definitely recommended.

This ABB was good value, a very private and peaceful location managed by a friendly and personable host. It’s about 6 Km from the town centre on a simple one road path. Unfortunately we stayed only 1 night so cannot comment on local activities. However the town is very compact, clean and on a beautiful stretch of open Tasman seashore. We had an unusual but tasty Whitebait fish pizza, something we’d never had previously. The ABB had everything we needed including an adequately provisioned kitchen and a nice covered patio area to relax on. We both slept soundly with no disturbances. Our host Brett was very communicative, flexible and easy to talk to. We appreciated meeting with him; some ABBs choose to be removed from their guests which is their choice but for us it was refreshing to meet Brett.

This was a perfect base for visiting our family in Christchurch. Grandchildren are great but it was good to escape to such a pleasant location and there was free use of the pool!

The room was clean, quiet, and provided a good sense of privacy. The prior communication was also very thoughtful! I’m glad I came to Timaru—I even got to see penguins! Thank you very much.

Beautiful cottage unit located on a working farm that was peaceful and serene. Had a wonderful stay and would recommend this place to others. Met the host and she was absolutely wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

Shaun and Vanessa were wonderful hosts. They were very welcoming. We were very comfortable and we all enjoyed showing our little granddaughter all the animals. The breakfast was great and hot tub under the stars just lovely. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you both.

Beautiful stay we had in Twizel. Room & toilet was very clean and everything worked well. Loved the soap and body lotion provided as well ☺️! Will definitely rebook this place if life brings me pass Twizel again 😁

Mt Somers was a quick little stopover so we could visit Mount Sunday. Hilary was a fantastic host and recommended a nice local restaurant for dinner. She even remembered the reason I was staying (to visit Edoras from LotR) and left a nice note. The home was super clean and tidy and felt very cozy. Would definitely recommend if looking to stay in Mt Somers!

I had a wonderful stay! The place was spacious, quiet, and exceptionally clean. The location was perfect as I was attending a wedding in Rolleston, and my sister lives nearby. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

This place was immaculate, very beautiful space and amazing location. The view of surrounding area. Would love to chance to come back and stay again.

Anthea’s place is absolutely beautiful and just as pictured. There were many little extra inclusions which made us feel right at home. So much thought has gone into creating a beautiful place for travellers and we were most grateful to be able to enjoy it. I would highly recommend Anthea’s place and would stay again without a hesitation.

What an absolutely lovely little gem this has been! We really loved everything about our stay and appreciate the hospitality we experienced despite requesting to book on quite short notice. Would have loved to stay longer if we could, as there are so many books we could choose from in the little book exchange and relax in the wonderful surroundings with plenty of tracks nearby. Absolutely delicious brownies too. Would come back anytime.

Exactly what we needed for a couples escape from Christchurch. Our second time visiting this gem. Private and comfortable, with an incredibly big bed. I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner place on AirBnB. And the homemade bread and jam was the cherry on top. Thanks so much Tracy for another wonderful stay - we did not want to leave.

Our stay at view with a room was stellar! Shirley is an extremely thoughtful host. She has everything you could possibly think to need with some very thoughtful touches such as freshly laid eggs that were left for us. The accommodation was impeccably clean and so well thought out. Modern bathroom, nice lighting. Beautiful views in a peaceful and serene setting. We walked at low tide to see the starfish, what a fun adventure! Shirley has a tide chart printed so you can time it just right. We loved our time at view with a room and highly highly recommend staying here. Thank you again Shirley!

We stayed for two nights in this extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean apartment. The kitchen is really very well equipped, beds are super comfy and the apartment is warm and very quiet. Super instructions on how to get there and how to get in. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely place in the centre of Christchurch. Beautifully appointed, great kitchen, pleasant responsive host. You can walk or bus everywhere from here, no need for a car.

Lovely accommodation, well organised, with good array of breakfast stuff. Also a good choice of "mini bar and snack" options for a very fair price

Wonderful spacious place, arranged with taste, great hosts. Just loved the place. Geoff and Jan make you feel right at home. Thank you

We just stayed at Sonja’s AirBnB for a month and were sad to leave as it really felt like home and Sonja is a large part of that along with her comfortable, welcoming, clean and spacious accommodation. The garden is a lovely extension of that space too and is even better than the photos!. We enjoyed interacting and having fun with Bobby, Sonja’s dog but you don’t have to when staying there. We would happily return to stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sonja, as to us she’s a Superhost and now also a friend. Thank you Sonja.

We spent a great time at Ailsa place. It was cosy and comfortable. Made with taste, you have privacy and calm around. Ailsa was really nice and reactive to all our questions. We highly recommand this place if you have to stay in Christchurch for a few days.

On arrival we were greeted as guests always should be and we immediately felt at home. A very warm welcome from both inner and outer reception spaces with a touch of humour thrown in - excellent! The quality of our room, for the price, was exceptional and just a short walk across the road to the beach. We even managed to park our car directly outside; even better! We were given a map in Reception with clear directions of how to walk to town for both the restaurants and where we were to drive in the morning to check in for our previously booked whale watching excursion. Our only regret, was that we couldn’t have stayed for longer. I would, on what we actually experienced, recommend the Kaikoura Beach Motel without reservation. A&J

We had a super stay at Vicky and Rob's place. It was fabulous. Everything was super and our hosts were incredibly attentive and lovely. Such a pleasure to have stayed here with our Stanley dog.. Thanks for having us.
