Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Awatere Valley

A beautiful house with lots of personal touches. It was very warm with an amazing fire. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was absolutely faultless! It was the most perfect place for our family. It was cosy and warm, modern and clean. Perfectly thought out with everything we needed. We felt so at home. The location was great, very quiet and so close to everything. It was just such an easy and relaxing place to stay we didn’t want to leave. And when we come back we won’t even bother looking for other accommodation as this one had it all.

Really nice place to stay - clean and well appointed, comfy beds.

Have stayed here twice and would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at Mariana and Nicholas's home. It has been refurbished beautifully and has everything you need for a quick visit or longer stay. They are both great at communicating so any questions were quickly answered via messages and local recommendations made where necessary. Thanks for the complimentary bottle of wine .. we toasted your health Mariana and Nicholas!

This is a lovely house in St Arnaud, as pictured. It's surrounded by trees and peaceful, but just a short walk from the lake and village centre. The cosy fire meant it was a great spot, even when it was cold and rainy. Great communication and flexible check in in. We'll definitely book here again. 😊

Thank you Chris for such a fantastic stay! Check-in was super easy, and we felt right at home the moment we arrived. The house was spotless, warm, and welcoming, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. The views of the snow-capped mountains were absolutely stunning and the location was perfect, only a short walk to town and Conical Hill. The house was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Highly recommend!

We stayed with our three year old and found Mel and Kieren's place to be super child friendly, and very cosy. Lots of kids books and toys, plus the trampoline and the playground were great for keeping her entertained. Kitchen was really well set up with cooking utensils and plates and pans etc Great for a quiet weekend away with lots of fun for the little one. Close enough to town to walk if its warm enough, but out of the main center so nice and quiet.

A really nice place to stay. Was tidy and had everything we needed. An extra nice touch was having the heat pump going for us when we arrived as it was a chilly day! The location was great, could walk everywhere very easily. Rose was a wonderful host. We’d love to come back.

My friend and I had a great time at this airbnb in Kaikōura! The place was super clean and we loved the way it was decorated - very fitting for this lovely beach town. Jason was proactive, friendly, and an amazing host! We would definitely want to stay here again when we come back in summer season. Thanks for a great stay!!

Thanks Joanne! This is a great unit. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Perfect location close to restaurants and shopping. Absolutely as described. Sparkling clean and nicely appointed.

By far, one of the best Airbnbs that we have stayed at (we’ve stayed at quite a few throughout Europe and Japan). Everything about this home is top-tier…..very modern and upgraded kitchen & bathroom, premier bedding and towels, comfortable and elegant furniture. All of the amenities are world class…..even the dishwasher, cutlery, and glassware are superb and ultra high quality. The exceptional espresso machine was a huge plus because my wife and I are avid coffee drinkers. The board games are a nice touch, and our 3 kids loved playing monopoly each day. The ocean view is iconic and amazing. Would definitely like to stay here again the next time we visit Kaikoura. Overall, this was a luxurious property, and the hosts were extremely nice and welcoming.

Had wonderful stay for one night. Tristan welcomed us and helped us with our luagge. Would definitely come back

Absolutely spectacular in every way! By far the best place we’ve ever stayed in. We had dreadful weather during our stay which meant going out was not an option, but with a place like this it didn’t matter a bit. We were cosy and had everything we needed and watched the waves crash and the wild weather all day long from the amazing big windows. The views are incredible and that’s with limited visibility so can only imagine how stunning they are on a good day! Cannot recommend this place highly enough, we’d love to return one day. Thank you so much ☺️

Lovely (if short) stay at Caroline's. Such a beautiful peaceful spot and the apartment was very clean with gorgeous decor. Highly recommend.

This apartment opening out onto the beautiful Kaikoura Bay was fantastic. We awoke to a beautiful sunrise both mornings from our bedroom. The apartment was Immaculately presented with attention to detail in all aspects. It boasts quality fittings, towels, linen etc. Proximity to the local picture theater allowed me to nip next door to watch 'Tina' which I thoroughly loved. Walking distance to restraunts. Very, very good value for money.
