Vacation rentals with lake access in Canterbury Region

Absolutely amazing house! Perfect for families and friends to stay together! Unfortunately the lake is currently unable to be used due to Toxic levels of Algae . But that didn't stop us from using the lakeside Spa, and enjoying the stunning view!

Loved our stay here. Super convenient location with lake view. Sally was really responsive and friendly as well, thanks for the amazing stay!

Tranquil and beautiful location beside the lake. Great to take a walk to the domain and see the birdlife.

The house was fantastic, loved the fireplace and location was so convenient. Simon was super flexible and gave lots of good recommendations for food and things to do. Even went out of his way to tell us about the Aurora. Really appreciate the wonderful accommodation and excellent host. 100% recommend!

A delightful place. Set in real cool surroundings with a great view over the lake. Kayaks and the hot tub are a great bonus. Although the hot tub takes a long time to heat. But well worth it.

Awesome host and nice place to stay! Beautiful sky in the night for stargazing :)

We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s place. We loved all of the details and the interesting art, books and furniture. It felt really homely and there were lots of helpful and thoughtful touches. The beds were all really comfortable with lovely fresh linen. Jan was an incredible host who really made sure that our stay was enjoyable. She was accommodating with a few last minute changes and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely be booking a stay at Jans the next time we are in Otematata.

Excellent accommodation and lovely and warm.

Great place , enjoyed our stay

Gaye was friendly and responsive. We arrived early and he was flexible and allowed us to check in early. This was our last night before heading back to Christchurch. It was a restful stay.

My mum and I recently stayed here for a couple of nights on a holiday in New Zealand. There is a beautiful view of the lake and mountains from the living room. It’s very centrally located. You can easily walk to the lake or into town. We also did the nearby Cowan’s Hill trail which had beautiful scenery and views. The property is very clean, well appointed and maintained. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Our hosts were very responsive both before and during our stay. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed staying here for a night and wish I could have stayed longer. If you're bored of cookie cutter IKEA catalogue corpo Airbnbs, then this is the place for you! Completely charming and very individually styled. The bones of the place are an old school with that lovely mix of commercial and municipal styles. The renovation has been done really lovingly, with some joyous touches. Will have to come back one day to use the pizza oven. Thank you so much!

Great place to stay on the West Coast, beautiful views over the lake.

Nice place, lots of room. I have stayed in several of the units in this location and this was the nicest one and the largest

3 bathrooms are very good for big family. The place is quiet and with nice view. We can watch stars out of the house

Super comfy, very spacious, king bed, great sized kitchen to cook a storm if want to and a hop, skip & jump to the Lake! Not far from Twizel and the Salmon Visitor Centre, where on a good day you can see Mt Cook! Would definitely recommend. Thank you

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here. Check-in was easy, the hosts communicated really well with us. The house was clean, cozy, and well appointed. We would definitely stay again. 5 stars.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Snowshoe Cottage, amidst stunning scenery in quiet and peaceful surrounding area and fantastic walks. We especially loved the amazing sunrise and sunset from just outside her house, virtually at the doorstep! We appreciate the comfortable furnishings and thoughtful decor throughout the house.

Beautiful home, so lovely to have the fire set. Ready to be lit on arrival . Ideal location for my daughter’s wedding. The host was fantastic, easy to deal with. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend the Vulcan hotel for meals and drinks.

Great little cottage, close to everything you need beautiful surroundings and the cottage matches the area perfectly.

AMAZING! This place is everything - the coziness, the views, the location, the tranquility and the amenities. It was such a wonderful place to explore or to just stay put while admiring the views from the windows and the deck. You just have to stay here if you can. Tekapō was even more lovely with this accommodation. We enjoyed the snow capped mountains while staying there.

Great place to stay, the host was very responsive to questions and helpful with a change to our stay dates. Highly recommend this place

We loved staying at the cottage! It had beautiful views, was cozy, comfortable and being on Lake Pukaki at the beginning and end of every day was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A lovely spot in the countryside to wait out the weather during our fishing trip of the South Island. The doggies loved the fenced section too!
