Absolute Luxury in Strowan - Christchurch
Fantastic property. Even better than photos. The pool and outside area was amazing. Every amenity you could think of was there. Added touch of a Christmas tree and a present under it for our the little girl in our group. Would highly recommend.

Hampstead Heights
Perfect big home for our whole family to stay together. Comfortable and well equiped. Beautiful setting and private

Luxury 2 bdrm Downstairs Apt w Private Pool
Amazing place. Beautiful inside and out (pool, patio dining, garden), modern, and immaculate. Everything was high quality from five star bedding to the well equipped kitchen. Hostess Jules was very responsive and friendly…The property sits in a nice neighborhood high above Christchurch, and our favorite part was on the other side (a short drive) - Taylor’s Mistake Beach and the world class walking trail above and past it. I don’t normally write reviews, but this place was really nice.

Whare iti on Johns.
Wow! What a superb place to stay. Our family loved staying at Rebecca’s place. Everyone was friendly but not intrusive. The kids had a blast using the heated pool and we all enjoyed the hot tub. The place was clean and well equipped, comfy beds and a lovely deck and big table to enjoy company together. We did trips out to Hanmer Springs, Kaikoura, Arthur’s pass and into Christchurch and the gondola and this place was perfect to get to all of those. I will definitely be recommending to friends. Thanks so much 😊

Elegant Coastal Escape with Pool and Harbour Views
What a beautiful home in a unique location. Our three generations gathered from three countries for a lovely 5 days together in Christchurch. The views from all levels of this home are over the top. With high end cookware, two dishwashers and (my personal favorite and usual airbnb pet peeve) sharp knives, we grilled and gathered for “dinners in” every night instead of going out. Great access to governors bay pier and coffee/pizza just a short walk away. Loved this place so much and would return in a heartbeat.

Large Holiday Home on Waterbridge
Have booked the property for me and my girls to prep for my wedding and for us newlyweds to just soak in the moment. Perfect location. Close enough to the wedding venue and restaurants around, spacious, and very peaceful. Love how homey the house is. It was squeaky clean as well. Thank you for sharing your property.

Rose Cottage at The Elms
I can't thank Louise enough for our wonderful little homely and private cottage in the autumn trees, showering yellow leaves over the garden. Rose Cottage is just pure magic at this time of the year, especially if you are a keen photographer as l am: While it is close to the airport it isn't in the flight path so there's not that much aircraft noise, and it is close to supermarket, coffee shops, etc. Louise and Matthew are wonderful hosts and I highly recommend their property to anyone visiting Christchurch and wanting something just a slightly bit different :)

Family friendly - 10min drive to Chch city centre
Christina's place was lovely and exactly what we were looking for. All photos and descriptions matched what was said in the listing, with everything being perfectly clean before we arrived. There was a great amount of amenities especially in the kitchen which made cooking very simple. Christina also had boardgames in the lounge which was amazing, we spent alot of time playing articulate. Would 100% come back again!

Spacious and Comfy Townhouse
Great place to stay. Suited our needs perfectly.

Strowan House 1 - Stylish Comfort
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although on a busy road it is quiet inside and the location is perfect. Handy to local shops, short drive to the supermarket at Merivale and has a lovely outdoor courtyard to enjoy in the sun. Off street parking makes it easy to get your bags and groceries inside. The living room is a great size and kitchen has everything you need and more. Note that although there's a washing machine there's no dryer, but there is an outdoor clothes line and a drying rack to use inside. 2 good sized bedrooms were perfect for us. We felt right at home here and are sure others will enjoy it just as much. We were visiting family so will stay here again when we come back next year. Thank you Rose.

Modern home near the beach
Incredible four nights in New Brighton. We have been coming for 8 years to a local surf competition and this time was the first staying here. Lovely new apartment, central, cozy and also private. Loved every part of it and Bee was a star with the communication and helpfulness. We will definitely be back ~

Up to 7, handy location, spacious living

Plum Cottage
Awesome stay after a big day tramping. Fire all set and lights on for us! House is perfect with a great living area -absolutely spotlessly clean and some really nice touches! Bed and linen very comfortable. Awesome communication and super helpful letting us leave a car an extra night too

Home away from home in Rolleston
Incredible place to stay! Beautiful home and was so nice & relaxing - Elizabeth made things so easy and left the cutest note & bubbly for us girls the morning of getting ready for my wedding 🥹🥹 would 100% stay again 💕

Warm, sunny, modern home
Sarah’s place was wonderful. Very clean, peaceful location and everything was close by for what we needed for our stay. Would definitely recommend this place.

The Black House - Akaroa Harbour
From start to finish, our experience at Catherine’s Airbnb was nothing short of exceptional. The property itself was immaculate, beautifully presented, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail truly made it feel like a home away from home. Catherine was an outstanding host, providing top-notch communication from the moment we booked. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a seamless experience. Her local recommendations in the property book were spot-on. If you’re looking for a five-star Airbnb experience with an amazing host, look no further! We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend

Luxurious House, Sunny & Inviting, 3 king beds
Great stay for five Adults. Lovely and clean with all we needed. Beautifully presented guest breakfast along with a fruit bowl. Host very responsive to help us when we needed.

The Sunny Lounger
Felt right at home! Had everything we needed and was very comfy

Brand New, Private & Central Townhouse
Thank you for accomodating our request and let my pooches in your place, outdoor area and fully fence. Cozy apartment, it’s not a big space but it’s enough to come home to sleep after a day in the city. Bed comfy, the pillows are too soft hehe Bathroom are spacious and living area is good too. Narrow driveway but handy to have parking space dedicated to your stay, easy checking in/out. Will I stay again ? YES!

Hagley Park Holiday House
We had a great stay at the house. Location is excellent, walking distance to Hagley Park, Riccarton, Mona Vale. While there are town houses all around you it still felt private apart from a bit of noise from neighbours. A few more amenities is the main thing missing from taking this house to the next level. Christina was great to deal with and we'd happily stay again. Thanks
