Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Canterbury

A spacious, clean and modern house, short uber ride from the airport (~$23) or you can bus or even walk if you don’t have a car. Lovely big back garden we didn’t get a chance to enjoy as we arrived late. Great water pressure in the shower! Perfect for what we needed.

Grace was very helpful throughout our visit. House was more than we excepted👍

Thank you for the wonderful stay. A beautiful home with so much space. We look forward to staying again in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay. We were lucky to have sunny, warm weather that allows the house to open to outdoors. While the house is spacious and comfy we spent most of our time in the outdoor spaces enjoying both the fire pit and outdoor fireplace at breakfast and well into the night. The area is quiet with direct views of the glacier. Close to town as well. Sarah was a friendly and responsive host. We highly recommend the guesthouse.

We had to book this home immediately as our previous accommodation was unavailable. We had travelled 3 hours and as soon as I booked the home, Rob allowed us to head there right away instead of waiting for the check-in time. He called to make sure we made it in the house comfortably as well as being on call the entire time if I had a question or query. He was friendly and saved the trip! The view of the lake is beautiful too! The train runs in-front of the house and at first we thought it may be annoying but actually we enjoyed seeing it go past and it didn’t interrupt our sleep. The house is in walking distance to local tracks and to the lake. Fantastic weekend, thank you Rob!

A spacious home with a lovely setting, with plenty of space to spread out. Easy walking distance to the center with a good selection of restaurants. A variety of excellent walking trails are within a short distance by car and well worth doing. We really enjoyed our stay.

Had a lovely stay, Susan was easy to communicate with, beds were comfortable, outdoor area was great. Walked into town, nice distance. Must remember to hire sheets or take your own, the sheets we hired were good quality. If doing a self clean, always a good idea to take photos of how you left the property. Would happily stay again.

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.

A fabulous stay with Joanne. A lovely spacious and comfy place for me and my son to stop off at on our travels. Beautiful photographic artwork on the walls also. kind regards Callum

Well the pictures instantly appealed- but it’s much larger in real life. The accessibility for me of being able to check in at 9pm was very helpful and as I had a lot of gear with me having the door at the front was very useful for loading and unloading. The details in the memrobilia were very interesting and yet a classic collection that was visually appealing A very classy apartment. Also much warmer and quieter that I had expected.

Unique character with comfort and style.

Fiona was so welcoming and friendly. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous - just as in the photos. A really special and beautiful home in the most amazing location - literally across the road from the beach. The apartment was filled with welcoming and thoughtful gestures including Easter eggs and hot cross buns, as well as fruit, milk and bread (on top of a well-stocked pantry). Would highly recommend and would love to return.

Nice, unique place on the way to Franz Joseph Glacier or the other way to Arthur’s Pass/Christchurch. The staff is very friendly.

Fantastic trip. such interesting place. very clean and comfortable room. closed to the beach and comvienient to restuarants.

What great hosts. Best airbnb ever. Absolutely loved this home away from home. Justine and Baz had thought of everything. It would have been very easy to stay in and just enjoy the view and surroundings. The furnishing paid attention to every detail, the bed to die for, all the appliances A+, the outdoor relaxing and bbq facilities excellent. The tea,coffee and breakfast cereal an excellent choice. Relaxing at night on a big luxurious couch with great TV and internet, after riding our bikes all day was just another plus. I could just go on and on. It was just awesome far better than any 5 star+ hotel or motel. Can't wait to return when the locals finish the biking/walking track around the lake. thank you again Jill and Kevin.

Beautiful decor, clean and fresh. Great location close to restuarants and cafes.

Beautiful property! Immersed in nature. Absolutely loved it!

Great place, perfect for a grouo

We absolutely loved our stay here! Isobel & Matt were amazing hosts! Very responsive and just genuinely kind. They even checked in on us to make sure we got up to the cabin okay and when it was cold they were quick to offer more blankets, The cabin itself was beautiful, peaceful, and we loved the privacy. The amenities were great; the fire pit, grill, and bath outside was spot on for this location. We would stay here again, hands down our favorite stay on our honey moon. Thanks again y’all ❤️

Stunning quiet location, very warm and cozy, great shower pressure and absolutely loved the pool table! Didn’t miss having a tv at all - lovely to be off-grid for a change. Huge deck which is all covered and would’ve been great if it was raining! But we had beautiful weather so also had no issues with solar power. Felt very lucky to be able to have our dogs with us. They had the best time too. Thanks so much, we had a great couple of nights.

Such a lovely place to stay! So easy to find, beautiful views. Very comfy bed!! Great communication and instructions made checking in and finding the place super easy! Cant wait to come back!

Superb accommodation. Beautiful, peaceful location, and it had everything we needed. Really enjoyed our stay here! We will be back!

Beautiful little spot. I understand it was during Christmas vacation Just had issue with dishwasher that did not work and could not be fixed while we were there so hand wash for a week . No microwave either. Other than that very beautiful places with all you need. We were able to cook every nights with guests.

Great place to stay- beautiful and peaceful location. Close to local shop and restaurants. The pod is clean and cosy, recommend taking a small bag as there isn’t much room for suitcases. We decanted into a smaller bag and left suitcases in the car. Kirsty is lovely and responsive, she brought us out some milk for our morning coffees. Would definitely stay again :)
