Whare iti on Johns.
Visiting CHCH second time and again staying at same place explains in itself. As always feels like home away from home.

Marsden Manor - Spacious house with large pool
Awsome home with amazing amenities. Very clean and very comfy beds. Loads of space and epic facilities

Elegant Coastal Escape with Pool and Harbour Views
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.

Takapō Retreat | Lake Tekapo
Love the living room area. Kitchen has everything we need. This place is much better than the pictures was show in the listing. Unfortunately because the weather, it was cloudy the two days we stay in Tekapo, so we aren’t able to see the stargazing. But if the sky is clear, this will be the place you want to stay!

Glenfalloch-Station - Working farm
I would highly recommend staying at Chas’s beautiful place if you are looking for somewhere beautiful & relaxing to get away from the rat race. The spectacular views were amazing

Large, private 5 bedroom homestead with pool
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at James's place and it was equally as good as the 1st time. For us Racing at Levels was magic, just being down the road. We were able to relax within a few minutes of the track. Plenty of room for a big Race Trailer. James a very responsive host and very helpful with early check in and being able to leave the trailer for an extra couple of hours after checkout. If James will have us & the house is free we will definately be staying again

Large Holiday Home on Waterbridge
Have booked the property for me and my girls to prep for my wedding and for us newlyweds to just soak in the moment. Perfect location. Close enough to the wedding venue and restaurants around, spacious, and very peaceful. Love how homey the house is. It was squeaky clean as well. Thank you for sharing your property.

Waimate House
Tony and Angie's place was amazing for us. The property is huge and beautiful! We truly enjoyed the gardens. We wish we stayed a few more nights. The place was clean, free of clutter and very comfortable!

Very close to Pools & Shops. Ideal location
This house is in a great location, it's really nice to be able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It is a lovely house, great for large groups of people. I would definitely stay here again, thank you!

Colcord Place
We spent a week at Gemma’s place while visiting for school MTB racing and I t was perfect! A clean, modern and functional home which was easy to heat on the cold nights and cool and airy on the hotter evenings. Beds were comfy, home well furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed, including a knife that cuts a tomato (the ultimate test in my book!). Gemma was easy to deal with and we had no issues at all. Gemma’s place will be on our list when we’re back in Methven.

Family Perfect! Long Term Bliss.
This was our second stay at this place and we love the location for ease of arriving and getting into the city. It's also great for our dog to have access to the garden. Again well presented inside and out. already have our next city break booked!!

Airport, motorway, shopping, peaceful.
Allen's place was perfect for us! A group of mates on a golf trip passing through, comfy, clean and the experience was stress free. Exactly what we are after, would stay again, and definitely recommend! - Freddie

Maison Rouge
We stayed here for a week and it really felt like home for us. The house was perfect and had everything we wanted if not more! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you needed. It was a warm comfortable home. We loved the decor and art pieces. The street was nice and quiet, it was a good area with the supermarket just around the corner. It was our first experience using Airbnb and after staying here , it is an option we will use again when travelling. If we have the chance we would definitely stay here again, perfect home for our family holiday. Thanks Danielle x

Surrounded by amazing views with great star-gazing and sunrises over Timaru. Jillian was very responsive and accommodating when some trip details happened to change. Much appreciated and would happily stay again
