Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Hanmer Springs

We stumbled on Brian's log cabin by accident after a change in our travel arrangements and ended up staying for four blissful nights. Brian was an amazing host throughout and responsive to our needs...he even helped change a flat tire discovered on the morning we were due to drive to Christchurch Airport. The log cabin is a unique structure with a mezzanine floor (for sleeping) surrounded on all sides by native beech forest. Lots of bellbirds, silvereyes and fantails...and a South Island robin couple who hung around. Mrs Robin came inside to say Hi. We love the feel of natural wood, the remoteness, the amazing lighting, the innovate water heating and the range of herbs and spices. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped. Staying here was also a wonderful introduction to the Hurunui area.

A beautiful log cabin with cosy fireplace and fully functioning kitchen. The birdsong in the morning is lovely and a great place to spot black robins, piwakawaka and yellow eye birds.

We haver stayed at Olivia's place before. It is convenient, with a short walk into the village, has lots of space and great air con for all weathers. Very comfortable and with everything you might need.

thanks for sharing your lovely house.

A beautiful place to stay, in a lovely quiet location. There’s nearby walking tracks, gorgeous views and (perhaps thanks to the time of year) hardly anyone else staying in the nearby accommodations on the mountain. It was so peaceful! The house is very well appointed, cosy and very alpine in feel. Thank you for allowing dogs to stay too. We know many AirBnBs don’t allow this - as we don’t travel in NZ without the pup your generosity here meant we could enjoy the mountain. Otherwise we’d have had to stay elsewhere (so a smart business move too, guys!) All round - fabulous!

We loved everything about this 2 bedroom apt! It was quiet, convenient, well stocked with comfy linens and kitchen things...and it was spotless. Our hosts were super friendly and ready with anything we needed. What a fantastic weekend stay! We will stay again - absolutely!

This was an amazing place to have a getaway for the weekend at. Everything was just how he said and more we couldn’t have asked for better, highly recommend this as a nice getaway

Three couples stayed for three days. Was a great space with room to spread out and lots of places to come together or spread out. Lovely facilities and it had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely place with a picturesque backdrop. Thank you so much for accommodating my friends and I, we had a relaxing girls’ weekend in Hanmer.
