Find Places to Stay in Diamond Harbour on Airbnb

We loved the Quails Nest. Elegant with unsurpassed views. Lots of thoughtful touches, and wonderful hosts. Highly recommend.

Shelleys place was all we expected and more - presentation is second to none - scenery and location was exceptional - on arrival the cob loaf and butter was a great compliment to the white wine we purchased - great spot for couples - highly recommend

Magic spot!

This spot is truly incredible. We saw several quail wandering by the door in the mornings - it truly lives up to its name!!! Shelley was incredibly responsive, provided great directions, and left some wonderful food for us for breakfast! The space is just the right size for two people who are spending most of their time exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside - as they should!!! This was easily one of our favorite stops during our honeymoon - thank you so much for sharing a small part of your world with us!

Great place to stay and relax for the weekend. Friendly hosts who made us feel so welcome. Thanks so much!!

Great place! Really nice views. Would definitely stay again

Clean and compact accommodation with everything required. A stunning view from the room with a nice wooden deck and seat out front to relax on and awesome bathroom.

Quail’s Nest is a fantastic place to stay. With great access to the Banks Peninsula and to Christchurch, via the Diamond Harbour ferry, the views are simply stunning. This place has everything you could need including a luxurious bathroom. The hosts left breakfast items for the first morning and were quick to answer the few questions we had. Would very much recommend staying here.

Gorgeous, quirky wee cottage with the most amazing view. Akiko is a lovely host, warm and welcoming. We had a fabulous night relaxing, watching the moon rise up over the bay, soaking in the bath enjoying the quiet. The cottage was everything we needed and more.

Was a very nice place to stay with beautiful view , quiet and very relaxing . Nice bath with the view and I liked the details finishing touch . Maybe just hard to do dishes . But all the rest very good! And great host

Beautiful hut very spacious and the views are incredible! Feels very private and comfortable, can’t wait to back in NZ to stay again. Akiko was very quick at responding and the extra touches like breakfast was very unexpected for the price and very thoughtful. Thank you again for providing such a beautiful space.

Very cozy and relaxing place. Really enjoyed our stay, would recommend.

Akiko and Richard are fantastic hosts, very personable and helpful. The cottage is very lovingly designed and has the best bathtub view ever. We highly recommend.

Akiko is the sweetest and most wonderful host! I wish I could marry her 😆 my boyfriend and I spent such a great relaxing evening in this heavenly place overlooking the lake. Akiko left us detailed instructions of walking trails around the property and in the morning we walked down to a little beach for a swim. She even left breakfast and juice for us in the fridge! I highly recommend staying in this lovely cabin!

This wee gem of a spot is a slice of paradise. Gorgeous wee cottage, comfy bed, super clean and everything you need for night or two away from reality. The balcony has a great seating area, comfy out door lounge, a table and a big umbrella. Gorgeous big foot bath with windows that open up wide and you can sit back and relax in the bath while taking in the gorgeous view. Great walking tracks near by, yummy breakfast too. I highly recommend this wee gem. Can’t wait to go back. You are in for a treat if you stay here! Loved every minute. Thank you Akiko you were amazing.

A lovely spot and great place to stay.

Me and my partner loved our stay, so relaxing and completely out of the hussle of life. We stayed for two nights and wished it could of been a week. Plenty of things to do and go look at if you like that too. Recommend it to anyone and we’ll definitely be going back. Lovely helpful hosts just leave you to it lots of privacy. The outdoor bath and shower are amazingly good at night. Give it a try you’ll be very happy you did.

This was a very special find. Loved the privacy and outlook. Loved the simplicity of the set up. Brilliant daytime view and night time star watching from bed. Amenities simple but everything we needed.

Amazing views, great value for money. Spectacular space.

Beautiful spot for a relaxing time away, very clever use of space with everything that you need. We will be back! :)

Most relaxing get away, not to far away from town just enough to feel away from everything. The house was beautiful and had everything you needed, very modern and clean. Would recommend and I’ll be back again soon!

The space is well laid out and has beautiful views. The outdoor shower bath is especially peaceful! Would highly recommend​ staying.

This tiny house is the perfect getaway. It's so close to Christchurch but feels like you are a hundred miles away. The house had everything you needed and the bath under the stars was a highlight. Wish we had stayed more than one night!

A rustic, off the grid, Banks Peninsular experience. Delightfully situated in a private setting, while the Diamond Harbor ferry is only a few minutes drive and a great alternative to access the Port and city. Plenty of local walks to keep one entertained. Outstanding views

Mirjam place is a fantastic little peace of heaven. It's close to the cafe in Diamond Harbour but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of City Life. We loved listening to the lambs as we fell asleep.

We loved Mirjam’s place. It’s cozy with all the things you need for a short stay. We really loved visiting with the animals on the farm. The horses and Missy the dog love attention. If we ever make it back to New Zealand we’d love to stay here again.

Great cosy stay. Hot tub was great

Friendly accommodation. It must be very pleasant when the weather is nice to be able to use the terrace and discover the terrain (it was very bad during our visit). Internet and some electrical outlets were not working. Very good value for money.

Beautiful place to stay. Comfortable and great views. Hot tub was great and it was so fun to stay on the farm.

This is a wonderful space, perfect distance from Christchurch for a weekend away. The spa is perfect, and I loved the farmstay setting. Great bed, recently refurbished room, a really great little getaway.

I loved the chickens that followed you round like puppies, great views, overall we had an awesome awesome stay, totally loved it and will recommend this place to friends

Great little spot with the most incredible views. Friendly animals and easy check in. Lovely little touches to make you feel at home.

Great house, invincible view, really facing the sea, spring blossoms, especially the evening sunset on the bay. The room is small, but the supplies are exquisite, and the bedding and towels have a delicate fragrance. The free fruit milk biscuits and other gifts are great. Children especially like the free bath balls. Enjoying the sun in the small garden.

This was such a beautiful spot. The view is stunning all day round but especially at sunset. Our host was very welcoming but also gave us plenty of privacy. The space itself was very tastefully decorated and had a high spec finish but not intimidating. There was everything needed and with a few extra thoughtful touches. It was easy to find and simple check-in. The area is beautiful and it’s great to explore.

This is a gorgeous and comfortable little space. Great views. Quiet location. Lovely hosts

Phantastic place, quiet, super clean. Even some extras where provided (cookies, orange juice, ...). We stayed only for one day, but the place is worth staying much longer.

We enjoyed a comfortable weeks holiday in a well presented studio with beautiful views over Charteris Bay. The location is peaceful and although we prefer exploring the numerous walking tracks, the short drive from Christchurch was very convenient, and the Saturday Farmers market in Lyttelton was a real bonus.

Amazing View! Beautiful clean peaceful space. 5 Stars

‘Wow’ stay with amazing views/very clean and modern with lovely extra touches from biscuits and chocolate to quality toiletries! Most enjoyable stay

Fabulous views, spacious apartment, full kitchen, very comfortable bed, lovely little thoughtful surprises. Only 1/2 hour from Lyttelton.

Lovely, clean, spacious apartment in a quiet area. Elena and George were great hosts, would recommend staying here.

Beautiful location, nice and safe neighbourhood. Not close to centre but perfect to enjoy peace and quiet. Huge and tidy space. Recommend!

Lovely quiet place to stay with an amazing location. Very friendly and interesting hosts.

Awesome host, home is very nice, really good quality amenities!

Great location. Super friendly host. Very comfy bed!!

Great peaceful home to relax in

We loved staying at Elena’s place!! It was just a one night, spur of the moment stop for us on our month long honeymoon here in New Zealand, and were so glad we chose to stop here. The room was enormous, the kitchen space was brilliant and the bed was sooo comfy! Elena was lovely and friendly and had thought of several extra touches to make our stay even better. Thanks Elena

Elena’s place is clean and tidy and well appointed with a great view of the harbour. Elena and George were friendly and hospitable, yet they kept to themselves allowing us to enjoy the space and our privacy.

Beautiful appointed space very stylish. Quiet and very clean.

The place was clean and had a great location with beautiful views! Would definitely stay there again if we are ever in the area. Amazing hospitality.

Comfortable place, nice host. Would stay there again

Rachel was an excellent host: welcoming while respecting our privacy and great communication. The home was spotlessly clean, kitchen supplied with everything you would need and very tastefully decorated throughout. Lovely patio table and chairs to enjoy the fab views. Ample parking on site. Highly recommended.

A modern accommodation with all basic amenities. The place is sparkling clean and has very thoughtful touches for guests. Rachel as host is just amazing and very warm and welcoming.

One of the best B&B’s we’ve stayed in. Nice and clean & new with beautiful decor throughout. The host, Rachel has a great sense of humour. Would recommend 110% to anyone.

Rachel is reactive and friendly! I highly recommend the accommodation, it is very clean, well laid out and very well supplied with accessories.

From booking to as soon as we arrived, Rachel was really quick to respond and make the check in process really easy. The apartment was clean and more spacious than the pictures showed. We felt instantly welcomed and comfortable. If we come back to the area we will be booking this lovely place again.

A wonderfully relaxed and friendly place, nothing is a problem. A lovely old house in a great area. Very comfortable beds, we certainly hope to be back. Lyttleton is such a nice town, and a brilliant farmers market!!

This home is as unique as it gets. In Lyttelton you can get everything you need, but if you want to go in town it’s also just a 20min drive/ 40min bus ride. Outstanding hospitality. Didn’t want to leave, but had to. I‘ll be back a 100%.

Great place in a cute little town. The market on Saturday is a must do!

Debbie's house is so quirky, I loved all the things from bygone eras. There are clocks and pictures on the wall to make it feel like you are in the 1940's. The room is very big so you have lots of space and the bed is comfortable. I only spent one night as I am traveling but I felt very at home. Debbie introduced me to her family and the conversation was easy, interesting and a lot of fun. I liked the area, it is near a lovely bay where you can swim or children can paddle safely I really liked the bathroom with the antique sink surround. I would definitely stay with Debbie again.

friendly people close to amenities

great coup[le very frendly

This place instantly felt like home! Staying here calmed me down so much, it brought me closer to myself and it was the perfect start of three months on this beautiful island. The owners are super relaxed, the place and location is beautiful including garden and amazing cats. The area is really good for hiking, the village is just super cute. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing your meals, I even was able to use some fresh zucchini and tomatoes from the garden. I honestly loved it and I am pretty sure I will come back at the end of my travels. Thank you for sharing your home!

REAL Kiwi hospitality & warmth is extended. GREAT place to recharge one's batteries !

A great quirky space that was exactly as advertised.

This place makes you feel right at home, an intimate space in a green oasis that has been constructed and build with love and care. It was a real pleasure to finish my trip in New Zealand here, unwinding in a calm environment. Lovely meeting you Catherine and thanks for our nice talk in the garden!

Not 15 minutes out of the city centre but the Tin Kingfisher feels akin to Narnia. An absolutely surreal experience staying in the Valley. Thank you to Catherine for opening up her doors and giving the discerning traveller a picture perfect place to rest their heads.

Perfect place, lovely and cosy atmosphere, beautiful garden and great host! Just enjoy!

This is an adorable space surrounded by greenery with everything you need for a restful stay with easy access to Christchurch. Would totally recommend.

Lovely place, very restful with everything you could need and easy access to Christchurch.

Really cool and beautiful place. And very kind host. The tin kingfisher was clean and neat. Comfy beddings. The surrounding trees made me felt as if I was in a forest. Really nice garden too

Beautiful place Lovely people

Gorgeous wee place. Very clean with lovely touches everywhere. Beautiful garden setting. Would recommend this to everyone and will be returning ourselves.

We spend 5 great days in this lovely cottage, which is surrounded by a garden and the beautiful coast is just a 5 mins walk away. The cottage is decorated very beautifully and provides all you need, even Books and Kids Games. We slept so well and loved everything really. Paula was very helpful and friendly, I wished we had stayed longer.

Paula was a wonderful host and has a wonderful cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

We had a lovely time at the cottage, everything was perfect. A great place to stay and unwind. We would definitely stay again.

Loved staying at such a cute wee cottage. Everything we needed was there plus some very thoughtful touches, like fresh eggs for breakfast and in-season fruit straight from the orchard. Will definitely be back to stay again.

Paula is a wonderful host and the cottage is charming and beautiful and impeccably decorated. The gardens are glorious and inside has everything you could need. Also close to beaches and nearby walks- information for which is all provided. Thank you Paula!

The room was too comfortable, and there was an orchard full of various fruits, the scenery was very beautiful

We really loved the house and its beautiful garden. The self check-in is great, so your guests are flexible. Also the tips for walks, restaurants etc. are great. We loved the kitchen, we cannot ask for a better one... most of the time something is missing, but this kitchen was perfect. Thank you for having us.

One of the best airbnb we ever had! Lovely family, perfect view, warm and cosy home! Everytime we would come back!! Thank you for everything!

Akiko is a really great host .She and her husband are making you feel at home right away.This is a absolut 5 Stars airbnb. The house and the view are stunning. Akiko and Richard are such amazing people that we decided to come back.

If you are looking for an absolute delightful place to stay than look no farther. Richard and Akiko are fantastic hosts. They made us feel at home and shared many local tips on things to see and do. The view looking out over Diamond Harbor is one of the best I have ever enjoyed. Jim Spalding USA

We very much enjoyed our stay with Akiko. Her home is beautiful and has amazing views.

Warm and wonderful homestay!! Will definitely come back for sure.

A beautifully designed and decorated house with amazing views in a perfect location. Akiko is a fantastic host and made sure we felt at home. This is one of the best shared space Airbnb’s we have stayed in!

We stayed at Akiko’s for 6 days and we loved our stay there! Diamond Harbour is really charming, great location, superb view, comfy room and amazing hospitality. I’ve we ever come back to this corner of New Zealand we’ll hope to stay there again, so we can only recommend!

This was our best AirBnB experience ever. Amazing views, clean room and pretty bathroom. Akiko, her husband and little girl are so so so nice. They provided us with breakfast and we could even have dinner with them. We had a fantastic time, thank you again so much! So our advice: just book it, you won’t regret it ;)

What a delightful cottage! It is self contained and all the amenities you might need are provided. This was the perfect way for me to end my road trip, to unwind, to just relax and listen to the birdsong without any other noises. Rowan made sure that I could easily find the location, the check in was a breeze and then everything I might need was already taken care of in the cottage itself. I recommend this to anyone who wants a bit of peace in nature but still remain cozy and comfortable!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful cottage! You have everything you need to prepare some food. Fresh eggs and bread for the morning.absolute stunning views from the terrace. Perfect for all nature lovers. Would always come back!

Wonderful cottage with stunning view! Everything was as expected, very quiet and peaceful.

A truly special place—lots of vintage touches, 💐 birdsongs! Great walks through the Scenic Reserve close by.

This little summer cottage in a secluded, sparsely populated valley is a gem. You cannot imagine a better place to rest after a long air travel. A hike to nearby Mt Herbert is highly recommended.

I really recommend this lovely place!

What a great little find! This cottage was the perfect place for two old school friends from different countries to meet, sit in the sun with a glass of wine or 3, listen to the babbling brook, the animals on the hillside and enjoy the peace and serenity. Rowan’s place had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and well appointed with a lovely comfortable bed and so peaceful that we didn’t wake up until half an hour before check out time! Highly recommended if you want to get away from it all.

What a treasure, nestled in between mountains laying beside a creek, such a peaceful stay and great value for money. We would recommend to anyone! Thanks

what a stunning location and great value for money:)

A unique stay in a great spot. The view is great to just sit and enjoy along with sounds of the birds. Driving the streets of Lyttelton also an experience.

Very clean, refreshing, simple, comfortable bed, and a very beautiful dining space. When you get up in the morning, you can see the plants planted by the landlord. It is very happy! All of Love!

Lovely small flat with a nice view which is immediately outside the main house. It was nice that we had the whole space to ourselves as Joke wasn’t in, but it might feel overlooked with the main house occupied. Otherwise everything was lovely and the gas cooking facilities worked well with lovely hot water. Would recommend!

Great value

Amazing location overlooking the sea with own room, shower, kitchen and outdoor space. What’s not to love?

Lovely spot with a great view. As per description on the advert

Pretty self contained space amongst a plethora of garden delights with a lovely view of Lyttelton harbour. Close to great eateries & pubs but so quiet & tranquil

Dee's place is easy to locate. Is quiet. Dee's responded to most of the questions I asked almost instantly. Thank you super host.

Can not fault this place, from the homey touches to amazing views you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend Dees place to stay of visiting Christchurch

Great place in a great location. Would definitely recommend.

Had a quick stopover in this great Airbnb! Location was fantastic and it was one of the best beds of our whole trip. Really enjoyed the amenities, especially the hot tub which was nice after a long day of hiking. Highly recommend this Airbnb if you are spending anytime in the Christchurch area!

Simply super! Very nice view of Christchurch. I highly recommend !!

Great and very cleaned place in the hills with a nice view over Christchurch. We stayed for one night and had a relaxed time in the spa. Dee was so lovely and drove us to the airport.

Great place to stay as a base for visiting Christchurch and surroundings. Well equipped and pool and spa a bonus.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Genuinely thought I was in the wrong place when rocking up to the gate! The view was insane looking over the whole city, extremely welcoming and you feel real relaxed. Everything was just great.

A great wee spot - you feel as though you’re in the middle of the country yet only 20 minutes from city.

By far the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The tiny house is modern, clean and very comfortable. It is in a beautiful location on a farm but still very close to Christchurch central. Kate is a brilliant host & we will definitely stay again next time we are in Christchurch

Kates place was clean, stylish and easy to find 👌🏼 We relaxed outside on the patio with wine and cheese looking over the farm and Christchurch Hills - perfect way to end our trip☀️ if your looking for accommodation I would highly recommend staying here - for travellers without a car there is a bus only 10 minutes walking from the gate so super easy to get to and from the farm. Also, if you have time definitely consider relaxing in the bathtub with a coffee or wine - perfect!

We had a wonderful stay, the whole process was very smooth. We loved being so close to the animals. 100% recommend!

Truly spectacular tiny house with awesome views in a nice setting. The house is located a short drive from town and there is lots to explore locally. Couldn't recommend this place more!

It was much better than what we expected and we’ll love to stay here again soon. ❤️

We loved it here! So peaceful and quiet! The house is so stylish and has everything you need! The shower is so nice and we could even wash our clothes since there’s a washing machine. While cooking you can enjoy an amazing view and the place to sit outside is incredible!

We had a great stay, thank you!

Craig was a great host. Easy check in and friendly. Accommodation is nice and quiet. I would recommend staying here.

Clean, quiet house with hospitable guests.

I loved my stay at this place, I could not fault any aspect, it was superb (hospitality, cleanliness, location)! Linda was a lovely host, so accommodating to all my needs and so easy to have a chat with. It really was a home away from home - a real treat for someone arriving for their first time in NZ.

Outstanding in the very aspect !! Highly Recommend , very handy location !!

Great room in a great house. Close to the city center, which you can reach by walk or bus. Especially the hospitality is great. Very nice people and we had very amazing conversations. Thank you for this great stay!

I had a great time. Craig and Linda are very friendly and helpful. Good location to even reach the center by foot!

Lovely room in modern house close to center. The two hosts are absolutely welcoming.

Nice place to stay! Craig and Linda are very friendly. Recommend

Nice place. It is a converted basement, so the floor is a sloped split level which was unusual, but didn't affect our stay.

Beautiful modern space. Great location.

it was pleasant stay. Will stay again if i come back to christchurch!

Top of our list - this airbnb is excellent value for money! A lovely spacious apartment, just as described. The sloping floor is unusual, but doesn't cause any problems. Good info about the area is provided in the apartment. Easy to reach with the number 17 bus. The drive is very steep! however there is plenty of space to park on the road.

We stayed 3 nights. The communication was great and Ailsa very helpful. Would stay at her place again, even though with public transport it's a bit pricey (however there's a bus going directly into the city centre)

Great stay in Ailsa's little apartment !! Little "welcome clara" attention I recommend 100%

Great place

We had a wonderful stay. The place is clean and spacious. Such a good value for money.

A stylish little place with a seaside feel, many thoughtful touches, tasteful decor and even the distant sound of seagulls. Close to restaurants, cafes and the beach you couldn't find better.

We stayed for 4 nights at Tamsin's place in Sumner and absolutely loved it! It's a great set-up in a really beautiful location. There were so many nice touches around the place and we loved meeting Beans the dog! Sumner itself is a gorgeous little town with lots to see and do nearby. I'm sure we'll be back. Thanks Tamsin (and Jenny) for being great hosts and for all your tips too!

We had a great stay. Thank you so much

So great, very private/ safe area, cute little guest house.

Tamsin's studio is in a lovely spot and she was so helpful making my daughter and myself's stay very comfortable with lots of personal touches, Its spotlessly clean and would have definitely recommend it. Sumner is a beautiful seaside spot within driving distance of Christchurch. Nikki

This was a great place to stay. The location is awesome, just a couple of blocks from the ocean. We stayed one night and used the bbq and slept. It had everything we needed. Beans the dog was an added bonus for us as well, very friendly. Overall a great place!

Fantastic wee spot with thoughtful touches so close to the beach. Beans the vizsla is a delight!

Tamsin's space is exactly as described. I highly recommend the stay for anyone heading to the Sumner area. Location doesn't get much better, my partner and I enjoyed the quick walk to the beach and on to the restaurants and shops. Top notch bed and bedding, wonderful hot shower and thoughtful additions when it came to soaps, lotions, etc. Beans the Visla is an absolute gem and it made my day to have a playful pup around.

It's a lovely place. It's close to the beach (about 10 minutes walk). Annette was quite helpful for everything. She's a lovely lady and I enjoyed the discussions I had with her and my stay over there. Good luck for everything!

Annette's place comes highly recommended from me.Couldnt have stayed in a nicer place with a lovely hostess who makes you feel completely at home.The bed was ever so comfy and what an awsome shower with amazing pressure.I felt like I was living in luxury.The location is great as bus stop is just around the corner and it's half way between North Beach and Brighton.What amazing value for money.Thank you Annette for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home.

Very nice room with a great bed and comfortable sofa. Super clean. We recommend.

Enjoyed my stay with Annette in New Brighton. Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood.

Peaceful and comfortable place not far from the sea. Very clean bathroom and bedroom. Recomended for those who seek a quiet neighbourhood and do not mind it is a bit further away from the center of the city.

A Wonderful home with a very friendly ez going host. Just 10 min walk from the beach and shops.

Wonderful stay at Annette' s place, amazing host!

Annette's place is lovely. It's brand new & clean & nicely decorated with a pretty garden & friendly cat called Tim. She is a lovely lady and the location is not too far from the beach & mall which is a couple of mins drive. Highly recommend this host.

This seaside sanctuary has incredible views to watch tankers and cruise ships be guided into Lyttelton port. Sit on the deck and grab the binoculars. The sandpit is situated under a tree providing great shade for little ones. Nancy was very quick to reply to messages and offered tips on local beaches.

It was a really nice place

The house has a nice view, the internal facilities are clean, and the landlord communicates in a timely manner. That is, the house is a little far from the main city of Christchurch, and all the way from Christchurch is mountain road.

Lovely stay fab house thank you! 😀

Nancy was amazing to deal with ,quick to get back to you an amazing view and good location to bring in the new year

A spacious comfortable house with a spectacular view and lovely coastal walking

Very nice place with a nice view. We had a wonderful 5 days at Nancy's place! I would go back anytime!

Great location within walking distance of the ferry to Lyttelton. View lived up to expectations. Some lovely extras to enjoy. Nancy was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing weekend here

We had a great stay! Comfortable bed, good shower and a simple breakfast included. Thank you for your hospitality Michelle.

Michelle's place is such a gem and great value for money. The bed is super comfy, shower is good and check in was super easy. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful space :) Had basically everything we needed for our stay. Pretty close to the city, a dairy, and bus stops. Would happily stay here again.

Michelle’s place is much larger than photos suggest. Super clean, very comfortable, & all the amenities you need for a short trip. Would 100% recommend :)

Michelle's place is perfect. Cosy and warm and all you need for a pleasant comfortable stay. Highly recommend 😊👍

Beautiful space and super comfy bed! Michelle’s place has all the essentials including a great continental breakfast. Would highly recommend staying!

Awesome little place, has everything you need.

Tidy and clean, good located for a run to the next park or a car ride to the city centre. Didn‘t meet Michelle but her husband and daughter were kind :)

It was nice to end our camper van road trip at a place with stunning views and included all the amenities we needed. The house was clean and location was perfect for a peaceful getaway.

We loved staying in Gabby’s place. It is very well equipped, comfortable and stylishly decorated and furnished. The view is great and the location peaceful.

We loved to stay in your house, everything was fine! The view was outstanding. The communication with you was very satisfying. If we could we would come back. M & M

Great view and everything you’d need. Nice relaxing and baths a bonus

It was fantastic - we enjoyed everything so much, especially the view and the terrace, the large windows, beautiful bathrooms and perfectly equipped kitchen. One of the best airbnbs we've ever had. Highly Recommended! We would have loved to stay!

Gabby’s place was such an amazing find. It was clean and had everything we wanted including comfy beds and an amazing view overlooking the harbour. Would definitely recommend for others around the area to stay there

Gabby's place is a true hidden gem with breathtaking view. You can see the beautiful harbour through the large window of the living-dining room. 1 hour drive from the Christchurch airport, 40 minutes from the Christchurch city, 1 hour from Akaroa. It is located in a really peaceful residential area. Both of the two bedrooms have own bathrooms. Kitchen is beautiful and functional. The building has everything you need to enjoy the comfortable stay. Definitely I will be back. Thanks Gabby!!

Beautiful spot with everything you need. But that view, those bath tubs on the deck and the coastal walkway all make it very special. Would love to return.

Very a friendly and helpful host.

Spark and Angela are very welcoming and concerned hosts. We got good advices for sightseeing and their place is clean and tidy. Easy check-in and good privacy.

Very great place to stay. Spark and Angela are amazing hosts.

It’s good to stay for one night, clean room and nice bathroom. Separate entrance.

Spark and Angela’s place is impeccably clean and very well furnished. They are great hosts. Had a lovely time at their place.

Private room, easy to find location, convenient parking, cost-effective!

Out of all my stays in the South Island this was my favourite. Spark answered all our questions very promptly and everything you need is in the room and bathroom. Definitely recommend, great value for money.

Nice place to stay. Room is nice and cosy, with ensuite small bathroom with everything you need. Perfect for late check-in. Easy to access and very fast to answer any questions you have

We had an amazing stay at Marias home. As we live with other people 24/7 it was a really refreshing couple of weeks in our own private space. Thank you Maria and family for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and the little touches. We want to come back already. I think we shall. The selection of reading material was diverse and relative, access and privacy excellent. Bed super comfy, Gary thought so too, facilities modern, sparkling clean.

Have truly appreciated this amazing place, thank you maria and family

We ain’t done yet, stay extended. 😉

Amazing stay. Nice and clean.

Airbnb gets you into lovely houses in great locations. This was one of them. Almost as high as the famous Christchurch gondola, close by (we nipped around for a go. TIP: the gondola and city tram tour $50 together is a great way to max a short stay. ) Lovely private room, with all you need for a short stay and a genial host. What’s not to love?

What a spectacular setting high on the hill. Chilled out space.

Maria’s spare room is lovely! The house is located on a stunning mountain with gorgeous views. The room was really private and separate from the rest of the house with an en-suite bathroom and was really quite spacious! The bed was super comfy and large. Maria was a very thoughtful and kind host - greeted us on arrival, showed us around and was in touch regularly. She left out some breakfast essentials like toast and cornflakes and milk, which was super kind! Overall we really enjoyed our brief 2 night stay at Maria’s as a stop off on our month long kiwi road trip and would highly recommend!

Very good Airbnb. Great host. Would definitely stay again.

brilliant location to discover the surroundings of Christchurch. the cottage is private and is near the beautiful lake. Rosie and her husband know a lot about the area and are very hospitable. definitely recommended to spend your vacation here.

Rosie’s Garden Cottage is gorgeous- all in shades of whites and grey- a nice sitting out area amongst the flowers & lemon tree which makes the whole place so much bigger . Everything you need is supplied except shower gel and shampoo . Beautiful views of the sea it is right there at the window. Very quiet . We loved it and we recommend supper about Governors Bay Hotel which is a heritage building but nice and informal inside - about 4 minutes walk . It’s only 20 minutes to Christchurch but you feel miles away from the city. Also check her book that is there in bookshelf - Living with earthquakes it is a riveting & shocking read

This is a great spot to relax away from the hustle and bustle. Quaint accommodation in a nice spot tucked away . Governors Bay is a great kick off point to discover the Peninsula and only a quick trip to CHCH CBD.

Rosie's place is perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few nights. The accommodation is surrounded by a beautiful garden, and every now and again you may get a visit from their chickens! I highly recommend that you have your own car so that you can explore Lyttelton and take the ferry over to Diamond Harbour and Quail Island. Thank you Rosie for being a wonderful host!

A perfect charming cabin for two people--stay there if you can!

Rosie’s place is the perfect peaceful getaway. Even though it’s very close to some good swimming spots and nice walks, the garden itself is stunning and makes the whole atmosphere even more lovely. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxing weekend!

A lovely cottage with amazing views and a magical garden! Sitting on the veranda while you hear all the birds is so peaceful. We also enjoyed the short walk to the beach. Rosie is a lovely host, I got a deep insight on the situation after the earthquakes from her. Thank you so much for this and the wonderful time at your place! By the way: great comfy bed, wonderful hot shower, fast wifi... perfect place to be...

Stunning chalet in an amazing location, really hope to return some day.

Heather and Trevor warmly welcomed us into their home. The neighborhood is really great, besides, you can admire a fabulous sunset from their living room on the mountains. We felt at home during our stay. The house is very clean and neat. The very comfortable room. And what about the breakfast .. the best of our stay in NZ. Finally, again a big thank you to Heather who struggled to find us a hospital center on Christchurch for our medical certificate. We are very grateful to him.

Very good place to stay. Home away home, hosts are very friendly and suggested us the local tips. Good start of the day with good breakfast. I strongly recommend this place to stay while in Christchurch.

Heather was the best host I've ever met. We arrived there too late, but she welcomed us. Her house and our room were so cozy and beautiful! I've never seen that kind of high quality room in Airbnb. I felt very comfortable like my home. Heather's breakfast was nice too. I enjoyed conversations with her. If I would visit Christchurch again, of course I will stay in her house. I highly recommend Heather's everything.

The accommodation was very clean, well-kept and modern. Heather and her husband are great hosts. I was warmly welcomed for one night. I always like to come back. :)

Amazing home with a stunning view. Super comfortable and clean. Heather & Trevor are fabulous hosts. Excellent value. They raise the bar for all other Air B&B ...the best we have stayed at.

Very welcoming and friendly hosts with a lot of nice stories to share. The room was tidy and the bed conformable, and the house and garden was beautiful :)

The second time I stayed, the host was just as warm and welcoming. The room I stayed in was the garden outside the window, very quiet; I enjoyed eating outdoors with small tables and chairs and enjoying the warm sunshine before sunset; it is only about 20 minutes away from the city by car , It is highly recommended for self-driving tourists to book, you can enjoy New Zealand-style leisurely life.

Very nice place on the fantastic hills just out of Christchurch. Convenient to reach by car. Hosts are very nice and make you feel welcomed. The room was clean and comfortable. All was good!

A wonderful place with water views and the sounds of the ocean. The bed is very comfortable. There are alot of windows so the unit is very light and inviting. It is reached by a steep zig-zag road and has a tight parking space so a small car is best. We would definitely stay here again even though it is 20 minutes or so into Christchurch.

Very private space with view of ocean. Spacious living room. Host is very friendly and can do a laundry load if asked. Location is right above Sumner Beach about 20 mins from Christchurch city center.

Great place to stay. Amazing view and Chris was great and very helpful and always returned messages right away and was easy to approach and always willing to tell you what to see and where to go and the good places to eat. Highly recommend

A truly amazing place to stay. Stylish, well equipped, amazing views and super quiet and comfortable. It was spotless and we would definitely return here.

Perched up on the cliff side this is the perfect spot to catch the sunrise. Comfortable inside and out and just 5 mins from the wonderful village of Sumner and all its amenities. Chris has provided lots of info on things to do , walks etc and is an excellent host

Just what you need for a comfortable, quiet, scenic stay close to the beach in Sumner. Close to shops, cafes and lovely walking trails.

Chris’ spot was amazing! It’s a great view and cozy apartment. Chris himself was so helpful and gave us great tips for local dining, hikes, etc. We would absolutely stay again!

Great location, lovely space and quiet. Enjoyed the views, walks and our hosts chats and recommendations.

On the other side of the city compared to the city, it feels like a small village while being close to the center. The situation is therefore perfect. A house in good order, information provided very orécise and above all a warm welcome! Thank you for everything !

It was a nice stay, again :)

Very friendly, with two lovely dogs! Not far away from Christchurch Center! We wish you all the best for your future plans, you'll be doing it fine!!

Great place to stay. Beautiful, jo is a very nice person. I would stay again there if I came back to Christchurch

She is amazing Host. We loved her and hers dogs. She is kindly and friendly. And Her's dogs very lovely. If I back to chch, I want to stay again hers house. Thanks to Everything. We forever remeber her.

A lovely spot! Thanks, Jo!

We had a lovely stay at Jo’s place! Jo is a great host, she is very nice and helpful and the dogs are so friendly! The place was clean and tidy, and we really enjoyed hanging out with Jo and the dogs. The only downside is the location, it was quite far from the center if you don’t have a car.

We had a wonderful week at Jo’s. It was in a great location, with a bus stop just a 5 minute walk to catch buses around the city. Jo was incredibly friendly and we really enjoyed spending the evenings with her and the dogs! The bed was very comfy and the house had everything we needed! We would highly recommend staying here.

Sweet location and Barb was very welcoming. She even baked bread for breakfast.

Really comfy room in a location that makes walking to town super easy. Christchurch isn't big at all but such great character all over. Barb's fresh baked bread is a nice touch! She also knows where the best coffee is for the coffee lovers out there!

Friendly, interesting conversation, super smart new bathròom. Very nice walk to the city and good bus service.

Comfortable room in a great location. Barbara was a welcoming host and cooked a lovely breakfast, which was a real bonus!

Would definitely come again! Barb was such a lovely host and very accommodating.

Great location, friendly host fresh bread for breakfast. Overall a great place to stay.

Spacious, cosy, clean and bright room. The bed and sheets are very comfortable. I enjoyed staying here. Barbara thought of everything (cooked breakfast, towels, cooking facilities, good advice for trips in and around Christchurch etc.) so you don’t have to worry about anything and she makes you feel at home.

Great location right next to Haygley Park and only a few walking minutes away from the city centre. Barbara is a great host and makes delicious scrambled eggs for breakfast. Strongly recommended!! :-)

Karen's place is really beautiful and I really enjoyed staying her place!! You can see the great view from your room too! It was almost end of my journey in NZ and I'm really appreciated that I could stay their place. It was really comfortable staying their place and I'm sure I will stay their place when I come back to NZ for sure!!! Thank you:))

Great place to stay, the room is huge, views are stunning, Karen was really welcoming and the dogs are lovely. Highly recommend

Karen & Pete are very welcoming, sociable hosts. The view from the room is just magnificent, the location is ideal for getting away from the city of Christchurch. These two four-legged friends are adorable, well educated :) I highly recommend this accommodation! Thank you again for your hospitality.

Karen and Pete were amazing hosts. With the most fantastic views from your bedroom. Please go and enjoy a stay with them and their friendly four legged babies!!

Spacious and comfortable room with lovely view. Very friendly dogs were an added bonus. Great location for exploring the Christchurch surrounds without feeling as though you are in the city. Many thanks Karen.

Lovely hosts and room with a beautiful view of the bay. Shared bathroom was attached to the bedroom with a door so it felt pretty private. They have dogs and cats - I'm allergic to cats but love dogs and Karen was very good about keeping the cats away and allowing the dogs to hang out with us. Daisy the puppy was adorable and Harry was a friendly old fella. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This charming home offers spectacular views that will leave you in awe at all hours of the day. The room itself is cozy and comfortable. Karen and her husband are incredibly kind and welcoming and are knowledgeable about spots to check out nearby.

Very lovely stay
