Family-friendly vacation rentals in Selwyn District

Thanks Jess for the fabulous house and setting for a lovely long weekend. Paewaka was beautiful and the surrounding was gorgeous. Lovely home for a lovely break.

We loved this peaceful, spotless refuge while on grandparent duty. Deb and James were friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed hearing about local amenities such as the outstanding Opuke hot pools! Thank you.

Great place, clean and as seen on pictures. Great host, very responsive and accommodating! Thank you David for hosting us :)

Tom and Kat were amazing hosts! Great communication plus our arrival was seamless. Their property/house was absolutely stunning and was perfect for our stay. If we are ever in Christchurch again we will be staying here.

Ryan is definitely one of the best hosts I've ever met! He's extremely friendly and always responds to my messages super quickly, making communication a breeze. The house is quiet and comfortable, exactly as described and shown in the pictures. It's fully equipped, ensuring a really cozy stay. Whether you're on vacation or just here for a short stay, it's perfect. Highly recommend it to everyone! I'll surely choose this place again next time I'm in the area!

Heather was incredibly kind and gave lots of recommendations for both the local town and Arthur’s Pass. I would highly recommend this place for either a short or long-term stay. Just be aware Google Maps gets you to the right road, but not the right driveway.

Lovely place. Beautiful surroundings and super house. Will come back

Terrific accommodation, real atmosphere. Underfloor heating in the bathroom even. Great place to stay for skiing or biking the mountains behind. Beautifully restored main house. Worth booking dinner at the property. Stately breakfast, in style.

Great spot, awesome set up for large group of people / family to spend time away together. super warm in summer.

Great place to stay whilst visiting mt hutt! The house is everything is states and super cosy. Robyn was very helpful, would definitely stay again :)

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!

Perfect location to get away from the city life! It has an English feel to it, filled with lots of character! We were greeted by two very friendly dogs. I'd love to stay again in winter so I can use the huge log burner!

if you are travelling to Christchurch with a small group then this place is for you. Great house, good size bedrooms ,great kitchen and Lounge, plenty of space. The house has everything you need for a great stay. The house is set in lovely gardens and has a terrific deck space. Hosts are great and very helpful, really recommend this place.

fantastic place to unwind and relax! homely bach feel, garden was really big and fenced which was great! everything you need to rest and recharge! great spot to visit!

Beautiful little place to stay, we were sad to leave! Great amount of space for us, comfy and clean. Everything was provided that we needed for breakfast and more including delicious treats! Pool was also fabulous for a swim. Sue and Greg are fabulous hosts, super friendly. Will definitely recommend!

I can't thank Louise enough for our wonderful little homely and private cottage in the autumn trees, showering yellow leaves over the garden. Rose Cottage is just pure magic at this time of the year, especially if you are a keen photographer as l am: While it is close to the airport it isn't in the flight path so there's not that much aircraft noise, and it is close to supermarket, coffee shops, etc. Louise and Matthew are wonderful hosts and I highly recommend their property to anyone visiting Christchurch and wanting something just a slightly bit different :)

Sue & Greg's place was so relaxing after a long day of driving in the rain. The bed in the enclosed bedroom was so comfortable. We were grateful for food when we arrived and the homemade quiche, muffins, and rhubarb for breakfast. Breakfast also included toast, granola, yogurt, cereal, milk, fruit, tea, and coffee. I wish we could bring our kids and grandkids and swim/hot tub.

Clean and comfy! Thanks!

The place suited us perfectly

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
