House rentals with a pool

Absolute Luxury in Strowan - Christchurch
Fantastic property. Even better than photos. The pool and outside area was amazing. Every amenity you could think of was there. Added touch of a Christmas tree and a present under it for our the little girl in our group. Would highly recommend.

Hampstead Heights
Perfect big home for our whole family to stay together. Comfortable and well equiped. Beautiful setting and private

Luxury 2 bdrm Downstairs Apt w Private Pool
Amazing place. Beautiful inside and out (pool, patio dining, garden), modern, and immaculate. Everything was high quality from five star bedding to the well equipped kitchen. Hostess Jules was very responsive and friendly…The property sits in a nice neighborhood high above Christchurch, and our favorite part was on the other side (a short drive) - Taylor’s Mistake Beach and the world class walking trail above and past it. I don’t normally write reviews, but this place was really nice.

Whare iti on Johns.
Rebecca and Pete are absolute amazing hosts. The house is perfect with everything you need, lots of private outdoor area, huge deck and a hot tub. Very kid friendly with a sandpit, trampoline and toys. We felt like home!

Elegant Coastal Escape with Pool and Harbour Views
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.

Large Holiday Home on Waterbridge
Beautiful, spacious home with peaceful surroundings. Clean and spotless. Highly recommended for family groups. We enjoyed using the pool which was well maintained. Wifi not great but we managed. Thank you allowing us to stay.

Rose Cottage at The Elms
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 :)

Family-Friendly | Spa, Games Room & Secure Parking
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.

Black Bunker
Such an amazing spot, and the view from the shower is stunning! Parking does require a bit of maneuvering, but the house is comfy and really well set up. We loved it

NEW Studio 1 Bed/ 1 bath/ kit/living
I enjoyed a long weekend in Sydenham. Hosts were friendly and private. Fresh linen provided without asking. Handy basics in pantry. Everything you need and plenty of cooking appliances. I felt that the price represented good value for money.

Seas the day
Wonderful stay at this breathtaking Airbnb. Amazing sea view made every morning feel special. The house itself was comfortable, clean and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Host was incredibly friendly and responsive. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway. Would love to come back anytime!

Seaglass Beach House
The house is gorgeous and we felt it was a privilege to stay there. The morning coffee watching the sunrise was a real treat. The attention to details and the extra starter supplies were a real special touch. The house was amazing and opening the Oceanside doors brought nature to us! We will stay again!!!

The Sunny Lounger
Absolutely loved staying here, beautiful home, great location, very comfy lounge.

'Kanuka cottage'
Tracy’s home was the perfect getaway for our family. The house is not only beautiful but also incredibly comfortable. Traveling with two infants, we had a few extra needs, and Tracy went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Communication was clear, quick, and helpful throughout our stay. We’d happily return in a heartbeat!

Kiwi as Bro! Little Sweety.
We had a great time. The house is very homey and we enjoyed exploring the garden with our daughter. Great place with big bath, open kitchen and living and well sized bedrooms.

Fantail Coastal Cottage
What a diamond! I had to tear myself away from this beautiful, sunny, warm, private, and very comfortable home, with views to die for, all the mod cons, and the spectacular Coastal Walkway right on the doorstep. A week was hardly enough to make the most of this idyllic getaway spot. Thank you, Kelsey! I'll be back.

Lux Local Living
A great place to stay. The property feels brand new and was very tidy. The location is excellent, just a 1 minute drive to the Palms shopping mall, which made everything super convenient. Francesca was a great host - clear, responsive, and very accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend.

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
