Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Akaroa Harbour

This was my second time at the cabin, just as peaceful as the first! Gorgeous spot in Banks Peninsula, great access to two amazing tracks (on the same road as the cabin!). This time I did monument track south, over to Rod Donald hut - 5 hour round trip, absolute perfection! Thank you for the breakfast provisions, perfect hiking preparation!

From start to finish, our experience at Catherine’s Airbnb was nothing short of exceptional. The property itself was immaculate, beautifully presented, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail truly made it feel like a home away from home. Catherine was an outstanding host, providing top-notch communication from the moment we booked. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a seamless experience. Her local recommendations in the property book were spot-on. If you’re looking for a five-star Airbnb experience with an amazing host, look no further! We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend

Incredible stay and hospitality with all the extra bells and whistles. Would love to stay again!

Super close to Akaroa Cook School. Handy location to other local amenities. Clean, warm and tidy, comfy beds. We had a great few days. Thank you. Recommend.

Lovely historic cottage to spend the weekend. Great location, out of main township so very peaceful, however it was also not far to walk down to it. We thought it might be chilly staying in winter but the log fire worked a treat. Plenty of walks in the hills when weather allows. Loved seeing and hearing the native birds.

Holly’s place is so beautiful with a view of the mountains across from the harbor! The whole place looks very clean and modern! You can find everything you need here. The neighbor’s goat is also very friendly and likes to approach people for food. Just adorable. Definitely recommend! I also left something behind and Holly was so communicative and helpful and offered to mail me the left behind item. Best host ever!

This house was simply awesome, and one of the most impressive places we've stayed amongst the many Airbnb's we have stayed in around the world. On the website, the listing shows that it's ranked in the top 1% of the world. I'd strongly agree, Matt & Bev's home is really amazing. Family, kids and I absolutely enjoyed our stay here!

Absolutely loved our two week stay. Once you have your luggage down, the stairs aren't bad (my partner actually used them as a workout each day running up them). Like everything amazing, you often need to work a little hard for it and this view is worth every step. Watching the weather roll in from sunny to stormy days was a dream. There is a convenient and well stocked supermarket just down the road and our new favourite Soulful Coffee for the best smoothies and hot drinks. Take a book and unplug, its simply the most relaxing place to look out to.

Perfect place to stay in Christchurch CBD. Great location, being in the city but still feels private as the unit is away from the road. Very clean and tidy, and had everything you’d need. Such a lovely spot and this will be our first pick when visiting Christchurch again.

Absolutely beautiful place with the most spectacular views. We really enjoyed being able to relax in the nice warm spa overlooking the scenery with a glass of shampaz.

We had a fantastic 3 nights enjoying the views and character of Julie's place, very friendly with lots of locals tips and would definitely like to revisit with the family !

Meg was an amazing host — friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was just right. The apartment was spotless, beautifully presented, and had all the comforts we needed. One of the best parts was how close it was to Christchurch Central everything was within walking distance, from cafes and shops to the city’s main attractions. It made our stay super convenient and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or host. Highly recommend Meg’s place and would definitely stay again!

We LOVED this AirBnB!! We were so comfortable and cozy there. It was very clean, very organized, all the amenities we needed and ones that we didn’t realize we valued. The bathroom floor is heated, there is a heated rack for bath towels, and even heated bed blankets!!! Nespresso machine and pods, milk for coffee, tea. Michael has impeccable communication. We didn’t want to leave and would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful space, incredible views, everything was spotless, looks even better in person, great space!

Fantastic place which met all of our needs. - Close to restaurants - Comfortable beds. - Very clean and tidy place with plenty of lovely small touches. ex fresh fruit, muesli.. - Jo was fantastic to communicate with.

This stay was incredible! The views at sunrise and sunset were astounding and the AirBnb was perfect for a get away! Would definitely return!

We had a lovely stay here!! Absolutely beautiful apartment, the heated toilet seats were a boujee addition. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Thanks for the stay Fang. Nice and warm townhouse. Great space for a group booking. Super close to all the highlights in town, all easily walkable.

Studio is as described. Everything is new and it's very clean. Sharon is a proactive and responsive host.

It was a great start to our family vacation in NZ. Amy’s place is cosy, clean and comfortable. Beds are comfy and with hotel quality linen…plus bakery and coffee shop downstairs, it definitely helps to start the day on the right foot. It is also located opposite Holey Moley - the mini -golf venue. We had so much fun with our 8 yo boy there:-) Thank you for a lovely stay, Amy. We also appreciate you allowed us to check in early in the morning on this occasion.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Susan’s! The house was spacious and adequately equipped. It was also very well located as it’s a very short drive and probably about 10-15min walk to the central city! Susan was also a great host — she’s very quick to respond to our queries, gave clear and easy instructions for checking in/out, and overall made our stay very enjoyable!

Really handy location and easy walking distance into the CBD. The garden/outdoor area could use a bit of a spruce up to make it useable but the place was otherwise was great and fulfilled our needs 😊

Fantastic accomodation. Such a big spacious place to call home for a few nights. Easy walk to many restaurants and attractions. Super clean modern apartment. The nearby parking was a huge bonus. Candy was awesome to deal with. Thanks again.

Lovely apartment, very quiet block in great location. Very comfortable and Lexia is very helpful.
