Farmstay holiday rentals in Christchurch

The Lavender Cottage was a beautiful private property with everything one might need or want. We loved the coziness and the outdoor deck. The location was great for visiting Akaroa. Would highly recommend their lovely coo! Thank you so much!

Our 2nd visit. Love the peaceful surroundings and games room. Everything you could need is there.

Great stay! Welcoming host and stunning views from the outdoor area.

This house is LUXURY! We had the best Hen weekend for my friend, I can't recommend this place more. The house and surroundings are beautiful, Annabel is super helpful and left so many lovely touches in the house to make it feel homely and cosy. I hope I have the chance to stay here again in the future.

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

Heather was incredibly kind and gave lots of recommendations for both the local town and Arthur’s Pass. I would highly recommend this place for either a short or long-term stay. Just be aware Google Maps gets you to the right road, but not the right driveway.

Our stay was lovely and peaceful. Everything we needed was provided. Janette was an attentive host and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others or to stay again (hopefully in 2027 😁)

Suzie was very helpful, friendly, and communicative. Was quick to respond and reply to any questions, queries, or issues that we had. Highly recommend and would certainly stay there again

Cozy & lovely space on a sweet farm. Angela is super friendly, she took us to watch lamb sheering and feed the animals. We had a great stay!

It was great! Perfect for 2 people and we had everything we needed for 1 night. Romantic for a night away with the partner and it feels private enough without actually being too far from their main house, we felt safe and secure.

We had such a peaceful stay. A cozy night filled with a warm fire and relaxation. Would definitely stay again!

Such a quiet, peaceful and beautiful place to stay in. The host was very responsive and the the cottage was clean and so comfortable to stay in. It truly felt like home away from home for our family during the whole weekend. We would definitely stay there again for some rest and relaxation in the future!

Amazing farm stay experience and the owners are extremely sweet and overall we had a great experience!

We had a great time relaxing after a long flight. Chris was very easy to talk to, we had some great conversations and hearty breakfast. Will recommend.

Would definitely recommend Stephanie’s Airbnb. The house was so clean, warm and comfortable. We felt right at home. Stephanie was very helpful and replied to any message very quickly. There were also some lovely extra touches. Would love to stay again!

We had a superb one night stay with Sally and Murray on our way to the Banks Peninsula. They were flexible, helpful and very welcoming. We enjoyed chatting to them, the breakfast was delicious and the garden was a tranquil haven. Wish we could have stayed longer!

5 Stars - Exceptional Extended Family Getaway! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property — it was everything we hoped for and more! The setting was peaceful and beautifully maintained, making it perfect for a relaxing family retreat. Our children especially loved interacting with the friendly farm animals — feeding them was a highlight of their day! The outdoor BBQ area was a great spot for family dinners, and the hot tub and sauna were such a treat for the adults to unwind after a day of exploring. The hosts were thoughtful and welcoming, with great attention to detail that made our stay feel special. Everything was spotless, well-equipped, and designed for comfort. Highly recommend this place for families looking to experience nature with a touch of luxury. We’d definitely love to return!

Sarah's place was perfect. We were staying for an event in Lyttelton and taking the ferry across was perfect. It was peaceful and had everything you could need. Lots of interesting books, art and so comfortable. I definitely recommend this place for a stay.

Jill's place is awesome. She is one of the hosts who just goes above and beyond ensuring the guests have a great time. The unit was super tidy and self contained - equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Very good breakfast was provided as well (including bread, butter, jam, eggs, fruit, muesli) and she even left some sweet treats for us :-) just beware that the signal isn't the best, but we didn't mind at all. The location was perfect for our start towards Arthurs pass :-) Very much recommended and would definitely stay again :-)

Tom and Kat were amazing hosts! Great communication plus our arrival was seamless. Their property/house was absolutely stunning and was perfect for our stay. If we are ever in Christchurch again we will be staying here.

Brie's place is seriously a gem. Waking up opening the door overlooking the balcony to the backyard farm was quite spectacular for a city guy. Everything is clean and perfect. The design of the interior makes it feel like home. I find that just by looking both outside and inside the house, brings a certain calm and peace. This is the where the value lies. It's also just the right distance to go to town (by car). And the apples in front, is really sweet and fragrant, almost like a perfume. We took one and ate it, it was amazing. I wish I knew it sooner so that it can be our breakfast (if allowed by Brie, ofc). To put it simply, it's the best blend of nature and modern. Seamless transition between inside and outside. This is one of the best place I've ever stayed on.

Lovely home in a beautiful private setting. Great to be able to sit out on the porch relaxing reading a book and listening to the stream below. Amazing star gazing too!

Absolutely amazing spot! The host communicated very well and made sure we were all set for the stay. Highly recommended
