Beachfront vacation rentals in Decanter Bay

We had a wonderful stay, its a beautiful spot, quiet and very peaceful. James is a great host, messages and replies promptly. The cabin is warm and cosy. The dogs are lovely, its a dog friendly area which was great for us as we brought our dog.

I had a long stay here and thoroughly recommend both the accommodation and the hosts. Colleen and Shelley are lovely hosts, very easy to communicate with and respond very quickly to any questions. They made the stay a pleasure. The place is seconds away from the beach and the estuary, with lovely walks to enjoy. It is a tranquil place to come and relax.

Perfect location for beach and walkable restaurants. Everything was as described. Great patio to hang out.

We loved our stay and hope to come and stay again. Very comfortable and great location to beach and cafes.

What a great spot! The kids loved being by the beach and playground, and coffee and food was just a short stroll. Ann made up the space perfectly for our family of 5, and there was plenty of bedding and heating. Off street parking was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

Had a great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described—the heated toilet seat was 👌🏽. The host was super responsive and made check-in a breeze. Would definitely stay again!

overall a great stay. the flat was as expected, fully functional and good equipped. access to the beach was nice, especially to observe the early sunrise. it's outside of New Brighton, to shops and bars it would be a 6+km walk (a bit long). there is a bus stop in front of the house which brings you to New Brighton in 10-15 min and into the city (bus interchange) in 40-45 minutes. with a car you probably would be better off. but it was absolutely OK without. the host Robert is a very nice guy. we had some good chats.

A very special stay. House is perched on the cliff side/hillside very intimate with the sea below. Faces north. Very sunny. Interesting house. Decor is great, arty. V clean. V light and bright. Everything we needed. A good way to get fit walking on the hills. We loved it.

Thanks, this was a lovely place in a great location

Modern flat with beauty view. The host is really friendly, helpful and patient.

Loved the location. Good view of the water. The children loved that there were 3 ice cream shops just around the corner!!! Good eateries.

Enjoyed our stay at Akaroa for one night. Apartment was 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen and dining area are smallish but met our needs, reasonable sized lounge with view of water which was lovely to have . Off street parking which was great. Easy walk to restaurants, cafes and main wharf where boat trips leave from. Nice place to stay in Akaroa.

The place is exactly like the pictures. super cozy. it has a beautiful view. Close to everything. I had a great night. It was a pity that the swimming competition was canceled and the place is no longer being used. Thank you.

Accomodation was clean and roomy, with a great view of the harbour. The front deck is a nice addition and perfect to relax in the sun a people watch. Would stay again.

A great apartment in a perfect location. Amazing view to the Akaroa bay. Best location in town. Very homy feel apartment. Would love to come back.

I booked Darren's place for my parents visiting from France, they absolutely LOVED it!!!

Enjoyed our stay very much at Jackie’s! The place was clean and comfortable. The only thing that might need a little work on is the water heater. We went during winter so hot water was really important. However, it was difficult to control the heater temperature which made it a little difficult since we traveled with an infant. Nonetheless, the stay was amazing and the location was fantastic!!

Marion's studio was lovely - bright and warm and had everything we needed. Location was great and car parking even though on the street was extremely convenient. A great place to stay in Christchurch!

Fantastic stay at Lana’s place. Great location right opposite the beach, but the icing on the cake was all the thoughtful touches and the attention to detail…..All those little things you need… she had thought of them all. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be recommending this cute wee place to all our friends.

Very comfortable and personal in great location

An amazing spot to spend some perfect days in Christchurch / South New Bristol. The beach is directly vis-à-vis which makes it special. The outdoor bathtub is a nice Extra Feature!

Great house, very private, nicely furnished, comfortable. Great kitchen facilities, washing machine, Lovely location, great walks to cafes and restaurants. Supermarket close by via car. Spotlessly clean. Host was very responsive.

Perfect location within Akaroa. Was so busy with fantastic things to do such as hiking and boat tours and all the shops that I didn’t get a chance to respond to Adam making sure we got in ok. Everything was as described and easy to use. Laundry in the unit was great! Heating was perfect and the view of the bay was perfect for sunset and sunrise. If you’re not used to it you should know that the town shuts down really early so plan on your meals a little earlier than usual. Pay attention to his instructions as they were perfect as far as checking in and leaving.

Private and quiet location, the only sound was the waves from the ocean. Very serene and peaceful
