Guesthouse vacation rentals in Canterbury

Second stay at Lou's and still impressed! Fast responses, immaculate space, clean and kind hospitality – what's not to love? Ideal for South Island adventures. We'll be back, Lou! Thanks for the warm welcome 😊

We had a fantastic stay here for a couple of nights. The setting was beautiful and Michele was kind enough to let us explore the stunning garden and enjoy some of her home grown veg. The welcome couldnt have been warmer. The accommodation was clean and cosy and was perfect for us and our two small children. A perfect alternative to staying in Tekapo. We would loved to have stayed longer. Would strongly recommend this place to others.

Had a Lovely few days at Peter & Robyn's unit..was greeted by Peter who was welcoming & gracious. The unit was very clean, spacious modern & well equipped with some nice touches including a washing machine & chocolate. Our unit was secure with an electric gate & a cute fluffy dog. Amenities within walking distance & had a stylish bar & eatery Coasters 5 mins around the corner that served great food & drinks. Highly recommend & hope to return. Lovely friendly hosts

We loved this cute cottage. Owners had the heating on for us. Much nicer than phots suggested and wonderfully quiet as at the back of owners home. We were expected street front from the photos so it was a lovely surprise. Wished we stayed more than a night as Geraldine is so lovely.

This is a lovely and very functional place with a laundry and hot tub! Linda and Vicky both are great hosts. We'd go back in a flash.

great home base for exploring Mt Cook. Tania's place had everything we needed. the grill was super convenient. the bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too flat for us and the bed sheets were noisy. Tania was a great host and very responsive/accommodating. we would definitely stay here again.

Jo was a friendly, wonderful hostess, offering to drive us to the International Antarctic Centre and giving us shopping recommendations.There are lots of Ubers in the vicinity and getting into the city was easy. We dined at Spice Paragon and Cassel's at the Tannery, both great choices. Jo has a cat named Ella (I think) and she is friendly as well. This spot is walkable to the Merivale shopping area and also to Riverside Market if you really want to stretch your legs.

Easy to find, nice quiet location with good privacy and easy access to central Timaru only 5 minutes away. It was exactly as described, nice to have breakfast cereal options provided and loads of coffee and teas to choose from.

The accommodation was clean and beautiful, with well-divided sections, allowing us to rest from the fatigue of travel on the first day we arrived. The house is located a bit far from the city center, about a 5–10 minute drive, but it is close to a shopping mall. A minor drawback is that the house has flies, so we couldn’t keep the windows open for fresh air for long.

Cute little private room, host was super friendly and gave us lots of recommendations. Place was very tidy and had all the amenities needed. Views from window were gorgeous - host said snow lands around deck during winter 🫶

Awesome place for a couple of nights away. Close to great walking options. Beautiful views, loved lying in bed looking at the mountains.

Jim and Mary were lovely hosts and accommodated for all our needs. The place is tranquil and beautiful. Very clean and spacious. Of the practical stuff: a comfortable mattress, good pillows, great shower pressure, quiet. It looks better than the photos. It's close to town where you will find great cafes, restaurants, and shops. In case you are planing to cook, basic meals are easy. I would stay here again.

loved this spot. it was peaceful and very comfortable. its a little walk from the parking so if you have a lot of heavy luggage that could be tough. the outdoor tub was great. would have loved to stay longer. would definitely recomend to friends.

Out of all the places we have stayed during our 2 weeks holiday in NZ, Zelda's place is our top favourite. Her house feel so cozy and comfortable. Everything is so clean and neat. We love every bit of it. My hubby and son also love playing with her playful dog Bea. Wish we had stayed there longer 😄.

Comfortable, country feel & convenient to Rolleston. Great value too.

I had a multi week stay and it was very comfortable with a full kitchen, the place is very cool, and so are the hosts! highly recommend.

Views over Tasman was a brilliant place to stay while being immediately between the centres of both Hokitika and Greymouth. Anthea and Wayne were very responsive and proactive in their communication which made the stay a real treat. Can’t wait to return and would recommend Views over Tasman to anyone traveling the spectacular West Coast. Five Stars!!!!

Very clean apartment with all the amenities you could need, a well stocked kitchen. Kirsten was friendly and gave us recommendations of walls nearby. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Deborah's cottage was very luxurious and super clean. Greeted with a lit fireplace which was very welcoming. Amenities provided were top quality. One of the most comfortable beds we have slept in during the last 6 weeks of our travels. Deborah was friendly and generous. She supplied us with fresh eggs and milk, real coffee, delicious cookies and even produce from her garden. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The chalet is spacious and comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful, and many animals can be fed. We have a wonderful time in the chalet.

My wife and I really enjoyed our 3 day stay at this accommodation; the place was extremely clean and Andrew was quite friendly and easy to communicate with.

Jennifer place was amazing Cozy and comfortable very centre place for Lake tekapo and Mt cook. Nice restaurents near the house and supermarkets but closes by 8.30pm. The place was perfect with Heaters Netflix.

Lovely place to stay for privacy and a quite restful place.

We had a lovely stay. We felt very welcomed and looked after there. Very homely and reminded me of my childhood baches. Everything one could want including coffee, fruit and milk. Peter is thorough and thoughtful. I especially enjoyed the book selection and having a relaxing time, enough to actually finish a book. Recommended A+++
