Vacation rentals with beach access in Canterbury

A lively seaside location and had everything I needed. Great bed and laundary facilities plus the views were simply stunning! And there was more ✅the backery rigth downstairs was a plus! ✅Akoroa Dolphin, also rigth downstairs, cannot say enough good things about this crew!!

very comfortable home to take a break. Great bars and restaurants at your door.

A lovely apartment, great location and Jackie had excellent communication. She even let us know that the apartment was ready early so we could check in sooner, which was a big help.

You’d be lucky to stay in this gorgeous spot overlooking Taylor’s Mistake. It’s incredibly peaceful. We had kids there and there was lots for them to do. From night time spa beneath the stars, to finding the moon on the telescope to climbing down to path to the beach’s thanks for our wonderful stay Julie and family.

What a wonderful place to stay- and wonderful hosts too! Comfortable, cozy and had everything we needed. Great location as well - next to green spaces and near the ocean. Very easy to get into the city too. Can easily recommend to others.

The Airbnb is nice and pretty big with views of the bay. It has a lot of amenities that a lot of our other airbnbs didn’t have. It had a dedicated filtered water tap, a dryer (most Airbnb’s in NZ only have washers), electric blankets etc. Do note that the drive up to the home is relatively steep and on a gravel path, parking for a large vehicle would be quite tricky as well.

Wonderful getaway. Easy walk to small supermarket. Nice private deck to look out at hills. Very little activity on street. Spotless inside. New building that is maintained well. Great for short or long stays. Well equipped.

Thank you Lynette, we really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect spot to watch the sea and easy walking into town. The apartment was super clean and was well equipped for our stay over the Easter weekend. We would be more than happy to come and stay again.

Great place…. Steve the owner was very responsive. We had a lovely weekend!

I can not rate this house more highly. It is so peaceful, with the most incredible views out every window! There was nothing better than waking up and looking out the window to the mountain range, and that evening having an incredible hot spa heated by a log fire. The house is rustic, with ever piece of furniture quirky and well chosen for the space. The bathrooms were spotless and the fire was lit ready for us when we arrived which we really appreciated. The beach is so close by, listening to the waves was my favourite thing. As a family, we absolutely adored our stay here.

We would recommend this place. We stayed here for one night as a group of four (if you're coming with four people, two of you will be sleeping on a sofa bed). The host reached out in advance to ask if we wanted the sofa bed prepared, which we confirmed. However, upon arrival, we had to set it up ourselves. We found the necessary bedding and blankets in the bedroom closet, but we weren’t entirely sure if they had been freshly changed, as they seemed slightly used. Despite that, our overall experience was positive and without major issues. The house is within walking distance of a beautiful beach and pier, which we really appreciated. Thank you for the stay!

friendly, helpful and responsive host. very clean house and great facilities. we would definitely come back.

beautiful 1bedroom house. Great amenities. The bed a bit uncomfortable. Overall awesome and tidy apartment. Thank you.

An amazing spot to spend some perfect days in Christchurch / South New Bristol. The beach is directly vis-à-vis which makes it special. The outdoor bathtub is a nice Extra Feature!

What a find! We had three generations staying and every person loved this house. It had a beautiful homely feel with plenty of space for everyone. There was nothing better than getting to the top of the stairs and seeing that panoramic sea view. We definitely plan on coming back! Thanks for having us!

This was our last stop on our two week trip around central New Zealand. We stayed in many lovely air bnbs but this one was by far the best! The view of the ocean, the privacy, the spaciousness, the nature, and the hot tub under the stars made this stay our absolute favorite! AND the beach below the home is the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to! 10/10 highly recommend staying here!
