Private suite holiday rentals in Canterbury

My partner and I stayed with Keryn at the end of our New Zealand backpacking trip, and we agreed it was one of the best places we stayed during our travels. The property had everything we needed and was only a short bus journey away from the centre of Christchurch. Keryn's hospitality was the highlight for us both. She had great tips about things to do in the city and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we come back to Christchurch and can highly recommend.

Very welcoming, Rachel met us when we arrived and let us in. She had provided detailed instructions to find the house and how to get in. Beds very comfortable and large bedrooms. Very spacious, would be great for a large group. Beautiful surroundings, front deck looks out over the yard and to the river. Highly recommend Rachel’s place if you are traveling along the west coast of the south island.

Comfortable, quiet, very clean with everything provided. Right on the cycle way. Brett was a great host and we really enjoyed our stay

Beautiful little place to stay, we were sad to leave! Great amount of space for us, comfy and clean. Everything was provided that we needed for breakfast and more including delicious treats! Pool was also fabulous for a swim. Sue and Greg are fabulous hosts, super friendly. Will definitely recommend!

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!

Very peaceful and relaxed stay. Everything as expected - clean and tidy. Judy was very friendly and helpful on local places of interest. Highly recommend this stay.

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.

A great little stay in Margaret’s lovely annexe. It was really well furnished and the bed was so comfortable! Also the toiletries were really nice!! We only stayed one night en route from Te Anau to Christchurch but it was absolutely perfect and so quiet and private. Thanks Margaret we would definitely recommend your little oasis 😊

Lovely accommodation with everything you need to relax taking in the surroundings

Modern, comfortable, fully equipped, exceptionally clean appartment in a very quiet and peaceful area. Truly, a home away from home! The location is perfect for exploring Christchurch (short drive) or hiking in the Alps. The Airport is 15-20 min of driving. A few fantastic walks within 40 min of driving (Trigg M, Rakaia gorge, Mt.Oxford just to name a few). A perfect base for exploring the region. Welcoming and helpful host. Would definetly come back.

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.

We so enjoyed our stay! The place is decked out with all that you need and offers a boutique hotel experience that is more so than your typical Airbnb. The kitchen is well stocked with many goodies, and the view can't be beat. The beds are comfy, and the shower is great.

Sarah and Richard were fantastic hosts. They provided a clear and detailed description of their place, highlighting aspects that might not be suitable for young children, which was helpful as we were traveling with our 8-month-old baby. They were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful while also being very respectful of our privacy. We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, as well as the company of their cats and chicken—who is like a friendly dog 😄)

If I could give Tracy's Apartment 10/10 I would. It was one of the best Air BNB's we have ever stayed in and would return in a heartbeat for much longer if I could

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.

The place is exactly like the pictures. super cozy. it has a beautiful view. Close to everything. I had a great night. It was a pity that the swimming competition was canceled and the place is no longer being used. Thank you.

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.

Very functional and very well-equipped accommodation, ideally located for visiting the area. Sparkling clean. Highly responsive and accommodating host. We recommend!

The summer house is one of the best airbnbs we’ve ever stayed: the view over the city is amazing, the kitchen is stacked with appliances, the bed is very comfy and Jan and Geoff are very friendly hosts/neighbours. They thought of everything: there is a complete instruction for everything you might need during your stay! If you do have questions, they are easy to contact and reply quickly. There are plenty of walks available from your doorstep and it’s just a short bus or bikeride into the city. We cannot recommend this place enough!

Sonja & Bobby are friendly & welcoming hosts...who add a personal touch. The kids loved taking Bobby out for walks daily. The accommodation is comfortable and spotless with a playground only 2 minutes down the road. Cass bay is a lovely bay for swimming & water spots. We had a fab stay & hope to returnto Sonja's.

Enjoyed location . V close to the Rakipo walk in Huntsbury and not far from centre. Nice family Comfy beds, everything there we needed
