Beachfront vacation rentals in Canterbury

I really think the photos do not do this place justice. It's way roomier than it looks in photos and the absolute luxury of the place is understated. The huge TV and incredible soundbar in the lounge is perfect for the dreary, rainy weather we had. The fully stocked kitchen has literally anything you could hope for. The underfloor heating kept the whole place wonderfully cozy. The rain shower with the beautiful view had perfect pressure and heated up immediately. And to top it all off, STUNNING views directly from the bed. You can't find better, book this place ASAP!

A spacious, clean house. The bed was very comfortable.

We had a fantastic time staying in Megahnn’s beautiful house. Megahnn was a great host and even lent us a couple of fishing rods for our trip. We were 4 adults and 2 kids (11 and 13) and there was plenty of room for us all. The house was very clean with everything we needed. The kids were very pleased with the bikes and had much fun with the mountain skateboards and lying around in the hammocks. The log burner was also a welcome addition and made the house very cosy. The beach was a 2 minute walk and we saw dolphins as soon as we got there which was very special. If you’re currently looking for accommodation in Kaikoura and checking out other booking sites - your search is over. Make sure you book this place 😀

Perfect location for beach and walkable restaurants. Everything was as described. Great patio to hang out.

Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful location in walking distance to a lovely trail! Very nice accommodation! Raylene was so very kind!!!! She was wonderful with communicating and very accommodating when we accidentally left something behind and went back to retrieve it. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Raylene!!!!

Great stay, lovely hosts, nice to be close to the beach for a dog walk.

lovely rustic home in a fantastic location by the beach , great spot for a family get away

Beautiful house, great location, very kind host. can't ask for more

Thanks, this was a lovely place in a great location

Modern flat with beauty view. The host is really friendly, helpful and patient.

Worth every penny. It was a beautiful apartment. Comfortable beds. Plenty of amenities and absolutely pristine. Would stay there again. Host was attentive fantastic knowledge sent us a message with loads of choices of things to do before we got there and we used this to plan the trip. Gave us great tips on where to eat and cannot thank them enough. Five star.

Enjoyed our stay at Akaroa for one night. Apartment was 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen and dining area are smallish but met our needs, reasonable sized lounge with view of water which was lovely to have . Off street parking which was great. Easy walk to restaurants, cafes and main wharf where boat trips leave from. Nice place to stay in Akaroa.

The place is exactly like the pictures. super cozy. it has a beautiful view. Close to everything. I had a great night. It was a pity that the swimming competition was canceled and the place is no longer being used. Thank you.

Staying at Anthea & Wayne's B&B was a delight! The clean, tidy bedroom offered stunning sunset sea views from the hill. The well-equipped kitchen was perfect for our needs for simple breakfast, and the outdoor BBQ added a lovely touch. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway! Five stars all the way!

overall a great stay. the flat was as expected, fully functional and good equipped. access to the beach was nice, especially to observe the early sunrise. it's outside of New Brighton, to shops and bars it would be a 6+km walk (a bit long). there is a bus stop in front of the house which brings you to New Brighton in 10-15 min and into the city (bus interchange) in 40-45 minutes. with a car you probably would be better off. but it was absolutely OK without. the host Robert is a very nice guy. we had some good chats.

Fantastic stay at Lana’s place. Great location right opposite the beach, but the icing on the cake was all the thoughtful touches and the attention to detail…..All those little things you need… she had thought of them all. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be recommending this cute wee place to all our friends.

Beautiful home, amazing views, awesome host. Incredible coastal hike right out the back door.

Great location! Beautiful spot to see the sunset. Easy walk into town. Had everything we needed!

Great stay right in town! Very cute and cosy would definitely stay again!

Nice enough and plenty of space - but considerably more expensive than other airbnbs on our South Island trip.

We had a great stay at the Pink Palace. The house was very clean and tidy, and had so many thoughtful touches to make it the best home away from home. We travelled as a family and it was the perfect set up. We will be back for sure!

We really enjoyed our two day break at Poppy's place. Very close to the waterfront and loved watching the sunrises in the morning. Easy 10 min walk to the restaurants and shops. The apartment was well equipped with comfy beds and clean utensils.

We had such a wonderful time here - what a location! The view from the back was gorgeous and we also had a mooch in the garden (stunning). The house was a great size for us and had pretty much everything we needed. Chris even left locally caught fish for us to take to the local chippie - was the best fish and chips I have had! Such a wonderful time - Kaikoura is just stunning! Thank you!
