Family-friendly vacation rentals in Hurunui District Council

The place and the location were absolutely stunning and we loved tending to and then sitting in the hot tub at sunset.

If your looking for unique, rustic and quirky accommodations just 40 mins north of Christchurch, look no further. Damian’s barn accommodation is such a fun place to stay. From the spa to the turntable with lots of old vinyl to belt out. Topping this off with a glass of his Pinot Noir on the veranda in the afternoon sun was the ultimate escape. Damian is a wonderful host, friendly and welcoming. His breakfast hamper option is very generous and delicious. We were lucky enough to have a tour of the main homestead which has been lovely restored by Damian and also has beautiful BnB accommodation. Two wineries with great food are just minutes down the road. All in all I couldn’t fault this unique accommodation. Thank you Damian for your welcoming hospitality. Cheryl & Donna

Summer or winter, this alpine setting has ALOT to offer. We made the most of the landscape by hiking, biking and animal spotting. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching the stars emerge without any light pollution.

Awesome getaway in the mountains. The hot tubs are a real treat! Many thanks Tim!

We had a lovely weekend at Richard’s. Perfect for a quiet relaxed getaway. With mixed weather we got to make the most of both the fire place and hotpool but also the swimming pool on the hot day. Highly recommend the farm tour - such a beautiful place and Richard was an excellent guide and host!

Loved our stay. Great location with lots of room outside for the kids to run around. Everything was comfortable and cosy. Thank you for sharing your lovel space.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. Karen was kind enough to light the fire when we reached there and she introduced all the farm animals to our daughter and fed them which was the highlight of the stay. The surroundings are serene away from hustle. Can easily say one of the best farm cottages we have stayed. Highly recommended and would love to visit again! Thanks for the great stay Karen!

we had a wonderful stay , with Maree .nice spacious grounds for our dog to have a wander around very close to the main street ,everything within walking distance Marie was very helpful about sightseeing and things to do

Kim’s place is lovely with plenty of room for a group. We really enjoyed walks nearby (Lake Daniell and the Klondyke Valley both beautiful) and the hot pools at Maruia Springs.

Atypical and charming place. Our kids loved sleeping in the old stagecoach garage with the horse stools on display as decoration. Mike and Linda were very welcoming and showed us around the property which has many surprises in store! Despite the rainy weather we had a lovely time!

My extended family and I stayed for a girls weekend. We were comfortable and happy with the bach. It was all we needed. The kitchen is really well set up with everything you could need. There was plenty of wood for the fire, comfortable beds and crispy linen. The back is easy walking distance to the village centre and hotpools and quiet. Deb's communication was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here.

Any confusion re: location was all mine. Once I understood I needed to check in with the Top 10 Park office, it all became too easy. My wife & I had 4 family friends from overseas staying with us, & they were VERY impressed. Kitchen Appliances, Linen etc, & then the beds themselves -firm, but we all slept really well. The bathroom was rated highly by all, & a separate "powder room" off the lounge area was a bonus. The lounge area easily accomodated us all. Outside on the deck was a Weber Gas BBQ for our use, but sadly not for us this time. A very well thought out design given the constraints of the building external dimensions. Inside, it feels very generous in it's proportions. We highly recommend this as an excellent place to stay. Try to book it for more than just a single night, which was our only regret. Our compliments to our hosts, who btw were very easily contacted. Thanks again.

great experience, central to everywhere in Hamner, nice & tidy house & great communication with Shirley. would recommend

Very nice place, clean and modern. The host was helpful and gave us clean towels every day. The kitchen is a little small for a longer stay but still functional.

Absolutely amazing! The accommodation exceeded expectations and was very spacious and clean and new! We were over the moon! Loved it!

Excellent host. The apartments are beautiful. Highly recommended!!!!

Thank you so much for another great stay Paul. We love it here and we'll definitely be back!

Had a lovely stay at this wonderful wee place. It was very secluded and I had a great time walking around the nearby vineyards and trails. The host was very reliable and helpful! I would definitely recommend this place if you want a chilled out stay.

We had a great time, it’s was very cosy, good facilities. The house is better than the photos, huge lounge, great for families.
