Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Akaroa Harbour

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The view from the deck was fabulous.

We loved it! super comfortable beds and beautiful sunlight into the house during the day ☀️

This was our second time staying at Rob’s place and once again, it’s an easy five stars from me! Rob’s BnB is beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need while away from home – large, comfy beds, quality hand soaps and toiletries, and a thoughtful spread of continental breakfast goodies including cereals, bread, spreads, and even a pod coffee machine with a milk frother. Such a treat! One standout touch – Rob even provides a yoga mat for guests who travel light or forget theirs. Although we visited in winter, the private yard looks like a great spot to relax in warmer months, complete with an outdoor fireplace, hot tub, and even a lawn bowling set for a bit of fun. The location is super convenient – just a short drive to the main areas of Christchurch, and if you’re using public transport, there’s a bus stop right outside. The tall privacy fence creates a peaceful, quiet environment despite being so central. Highly recommend Rob’s place to anyone visiting!

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.

Our family of 5, all adults, stayed at Steven & Amanda's place for 6 nights, and we loved it! Very comfortable and clean, lots of amenities, some super-clear instructions on how things work in the house, and easily contactable hosts. We will definitely re-book Steven & Amanda's home if we come back to Christchurch. Thank you both!

If you're looking for a warm and cosy house with stunning views overlooking Diamond Harbour, this is the place to be! The spa was a perfect bonus to our relaxing weekend getaway. Kelsey and Guillaume are incredibly responsive and helpful hosts who have organized this house with great thought and full of amenities. Their instruction manual and guide gave us lots of ideas on what to do in the area. The driveway is a bit steep, but plenty of parking on the street also! Highly recommend - would definitely return!

This place is 5 star! The house is very comfortable with recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds, and is fully equiped - down to coffee pods for the coffee machine. Reverse cycle A/C (aka 'heat pump') means that the house was easily kept comfortably warm. Wood and kindling are provided for the fireplace. Off street parking is secure (behind an automatic gate). We didn't use the barbeque, the outdoor dining area, spa pool, gym equipment in the garage, or the skateboard ramp.

We can’t recommend Blake’s property highly enough. The views are simply spectacular, the house is warm and inviting and the area is great with lots to do. Blake’s communication was excellent and always responsive. We look forward to returning again soon! Sam

Very comfortable, just wish we'd had time to stay longer

Sent my employee down for work and he was grateful that I locked in a great place to stay. No dramas, easy to find and access. Loved the views. Such a great place.

Maree hosts a fantastic, beautiful, comfortable renovated villa home in a superb location that remains private and serene. She was a great host and I could not recommend staying here highly enough.

Big house but a bit old the wash basin in one bathroom was cracked needs replacing.

We truly recommend this accomodation. The Villa itself is simply stunning and you can feel a sense of heritage in there. From beautiful wooden wall, stained glass and classic exterior. Not only that, the home itself is very high tech with a very modern lightning and heating system. We were impressed with the facilities provided (so many toys and hot tub) and how beautiful the home was! For us it was even more beautiful than the pictures and we weee in awe when we arrived. Overall we all enjoyed our stay! Ohana is fast and friendly. The location of the home is peaceful and not too far from the CBD (around 10-15 mins drive) and quite close to Westfield Riccarton. We highly recommend this beautiful property !

We had a pleasant stay at the villa overall. The location was great—peaceful and private, with beautiful views. The villa itself is spacious and well-designed, with a lovely outdoor area that's perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the living areas were comfortable and clean. However, there were a few issues worth noting. Some of the light bulbs around the villa were not working, which made a few areas dim in the evenings. Additionally, one of the bedrooms did not have hot water in the shower, which was inconvenient. Also, there was no light on the hot tub, which made it difficult to use at night time before 10 pm due to winter dark getting sooner. With a bit of maintenance, this villa could be excellent. Despite the minor problems, we enjoyed our time and would consider returning if these were addressed. Thanks for amazing experience ☺️

A very comfortable night to sleep
