"Home away from Home" - warm, sunny, welcoming.
This is possibly the best airbnb experience I've had. Keryn was not only very friendly and responsive, she bakes cookies which she leaves out for her guests and has more food stocked for free use than any other airbnb I've been in. I most highly recommend a stay here.

Spacious Guest Unit in Central City
Robyn's home is a great place to stay! She communicated well and was super helpful and welcoming. Everything worked fine and as expected per the listing. You may hear Robyn in her kitchen or see her across the garden from the suite, but it's otherwise very private and quiet.

The Velvet Suite
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!

Harakeke Bed & Breakfast
Heather was incredibly kind and gave lots of recommendations for both the local town and Arthur’s Pass. I would highly recommend this place for either a short or long-term stay. Just be aware Google Maps gets you to the right road, but not the right driveway.

Casa Rossa Boutique Accomodation
Casa Rossa was everything we were hoping for! It was a great place for our bridal party to get ready at the morning of our wedding and for us to stay on the night. The gardens are so beautiful and were a great spot to take photos. Thank you so much Mel and Chris! You guys were so hospitable and made this part of our wedding stress-free! The place was lovely and just what we wanted. (And we loved your cats 😻)

Tranquillity with city views at The Bothy
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!

Sunny studio with estuary and mountain views
Great place in a great location and Cecile was so lovely and helpful! I can highly recommend; however, if you are travelling with elderly be aware the driveway is very steep and the stairs don't have handrails.

Settlers Retreat (quiet oasis) with own entrance.
We really enjoyed our stay. So quiet and peaceful with a stunning view. John and Gaynor made us feel right at home, thinking of little details to make us comfortable. We made use of the walking tracks nearby and the Saturday markets a short drive away in Lyttleton. Would recommend this space to anyone visiting the area.

#3 - The Wharf Seaview Apartments by AVI
Modern flat with beauty view. The host is really friendly, helpful and patient.

Private fully self-contained unit built in 2021
I had 4 nights at this wonderful accommodation. Everything was clean and it was a spacious unit. Lovely and private with outdoor seating to enjoy the sun. I loved the back section with great parking right outside the front door. I would stay again when I'm next in Rolleston. Thank you for being a great host Gregory.

Maple Ridge Rural Retreat
Beautiful quiet location and very well equipped accommodation. Lovely owners. Oxford is an interesting small town with good amenities and great pizza spot. Would strongly recommend staying here.

Large Self-Contained Room with ensuite Mt Pleasant
Partly thanks to Deb itself, we had a nice stay at Deb's place. Deb is warm and friendly and her cookies are delicious. The view and garden are jealous of beautiful. The surroundings are quiet. There is a supermarket at 1.7 km away and there are a few restaurants/fast food providers. There is an oven in the listing so you can prepare a meal. Every now and then you hear some light noises from Deb's kitchen, but that we are never loud and never long. It didn't bother us. For us, it was the ideal place to process our jet lag and recover from a long journey.

Self contained, private, sunny & peaceful retreat
Great place to stay, it fitted our purposes perfectly and would gladly stay again. Thanks Ian for everything.

CityFringe Studio with Ensuite & Private Courtyard
We just needed a quick overnight stay and it had everything we needed!

A Lyttel Gem!
well worth a booking for a short stay in Lyttleton or indeed Christchurch. Transport to city is quick & easy, bus, uber or car. Very comfy bed, exceptional shower & friendly host. Best little Airbnb I've stayed in.

Cozy Stay! Own Bathroom. Own Entry.
Lisa's place was perfect for us, very private and comfortable with everything you need we would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Hillside Rural Haven
Great value for our three week stay around Christmas. Our grandchildren liked the pool and the room with two twin beds for sleepovers. We cooked many meals and baked bread and pies in the oven and ate together at the table with our extended family. We enjoyed fresh flowers and apricots from the garden during our entire stay. I liked watching our host work in his shop on his hydropower systems and other projects in the gravel driveway. we really liked the company of the hosts and their family. We have been to three Christchurch places this year for long stays and would gladly return to this place for another summer stay. I liked entering the city from this side of town because there is little traffic heading Northeast into Addington and Riccarton business areas and then East to the Botanic Gardens and downtown. We shopped at the Barrington Mall and ate out at many places along Centaurus and Colombo streets which are not far. There is also a Dairy and Seafood takeout very closeby.

Fully Renovated Hillside Apartment Close To City
We had a great stay at Nick’s place. Felt really at home, was clean, warm and had a great view of the city.

One Bedroom Family Apartment
We enjoyed our stay at Apollo Motel! We found it very handy that it was within walking distance to UC campus! Also Uber service was great!

Self contained flat in the heart of Christchurch
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.

Fyffe Studio Unit
The studio that we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. We found the small kitchen to be very useful. There is a washer and dryer in the common area…worked well. Rod is a nice gentleman and was responsive when we had questions. Overall a fantastic place!

‘The Summer House’ - Huntsbury, Christchurch
A superb apartment - we hope to return for longer another time

Spacious Guest Suite, Cass Bay Beach, Christchurch
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.

Private, Self Contained & close to City
I needed a quiet place to work while I waited to pick up a car in Christchurch - Alisa's place was perfect. A table to work at, a stones throw to a good cafe and an easy bus ride to the city. The apartment was quiet, well appointed and warm. Would recommend!
