Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Castle Hill

Some friends and I had a great stay at Gemma's place. Spacious place, with great indoors and outdoors. Would be great in summer too! Very good price for what it offered. Highly recommended stay in Methven!

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay in Waipara! There is plenty to do around the area from vineyards to do some wine tasting to the fantastic sculpture park a short drive from the accommodation. The house is fully equipped with everything you need, we made our meals there and popped next door to the cellar door for a wine tasting and walk around the vineyard. This is the perfect spot for some peace and quiet. Great recommendations from the hosts in the welcome book. The fireplace kept us very cosy on the autumn evenings. Bed was very comfortable, plenty of towels to enjoy the outdoor bath. Thanks for our stay. We will certainly be telling others to visit!

Tranquil and beautiful location beside the lake. Great to take a walk to the domain and see the birdlife.

What an incredible place to stay in Methven! The home is large and has everything you could need. We brought our infant, and Franz was so accommodating by providing us with pack-n-play, high chair, toys. Such a comfortable home with many interesting vintage items and decorations. Such great value too!

Great stay, Steph and her Husband were very helpful, would recommend to anyone needing accommodation in the area 🙂

Beautiful home. Truly staying in someone's well-cared for, artistic and beloved home. So different than staying in cookie cutter apartment or condo. And Tracy is so kind and caring. 10 out of 10!

Sue was a great host who responded to my questions quickly. The cottage was great.

This was an adorable place with a gracious host. She even had a little fire ready for us to start when we got there. I could have stayed here for months. Excellent!!

We had the most relaxing weekend. It was a group of 4 mums and it was a beautiful stay. We felt so at home and everything was provided. The fire was lit and Julie greeted us at the door and welcomed us in. They also stoked up our fire wood and set up the fire for us the second day aswell once we arrived back from the pools. It was so wonderful. Highly recommend!

We came together as a family to this home to celebrate Christmas. It was a beautiful place with stunning views. We could easily make dinners from scratch using all the kitchen equipment included in the home. One note for future AirBnb'ers to this property, the cleaning instructions are rather extensive along with the $160+ USD cleaning fee tagged onto the booking.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The space was immaculately clean and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Perfect location with epic views across to Mt Hutt. Would definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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 !

Really great location, clean and so spacious.

Emma is a great host and the house is warm and welcoming. We had a fantastic stay. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place. Away from the city life but still convenient when you need it

Loved the property - the lights and signs directing you around the property were great. We loved the glow worms!

We had a lovely mums stay at this accomodation, the host was great to deal with, we even got to check in slightly earlier than expected! The house was immaculate, it would be great in there was an iron available for use, and the two king beds were quite hard, but other than that it was a beautiful house, very warm on a very cold weekend with beautiful views!

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.

This house has everything you need...exceptionally well equipped in the kitchen, very spacious for 6 people , warm and quiet . The weather was moist for most of our stay but we all loved the sound of the stream running through the side of the property and all the lovely trees and birds!!Would definitely go back .

We enjoyed 2 lovely nights with the fire roaring that Steve had put on before we arrived. Steve is very friendly and great with communicating. The house is clean and a very peaceful location. Great to get away from the city. We highly recommend and will be back.

We have just come home from a fabulous 2 nights in Wainui at Caro's house. We were 7 Ladies. There was plenty of room for all of us and the beds were super comfy and warm. The weather was horrendous for our weekend, but that didn't matter at all. The views over the Akaroa Heads with the weather coming in was spectacular. Caro had lit the fire for us for our arrival which was very much appreciated. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a dining table in the kitchen area as well as the lounge room. The hydrangea's in the garden are beautiful. We absolutely loved staying here and will definitely be back. We would love to arrange a summer vacation so we can sit out on the verandah in the sun. Highly recommend Caro's house. Thank you Caro. Your communication was excellent and we really appreciated the late check out.

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

Lovely old cottage tucked away at the end of a road. Easy walk through Hagley Park to the town centre. There was everything we needed to feel at home. Very clean throughout. Particularly enjoyed the cosy lounge to chill at the end of busy days in Christchurch. Roomy bedrooms and a great kitchen too. John gave us useful tips on getting the best from our stay. Highly recommend Brockworth Cottage.

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 !
