Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Hurunui District

We were due to arrive after dark on a wet night, so Rose messaged to say she had the fire ready to light, she had turned some lights on for us, and had left the key under the mat so we didn’t have to spend time in the rain fiddling with the lockbox. It was so appreciated! Really cute and cosy home with everything we could possibly have needed. We loved it. One thing to note though is there is some road noise during the night.

Fantastic accomodation, couldn't fault Katy! She even went the extra mile and helped me avoid a potential disaster when my daughter left her lovey at the house, couldn't be more grateful if I tried!

A beautiful house with lots of personal touches. It was very warm with an amazing fire. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Superb. The cottage was spot on. Very luxurious. Toby was super helpful, letting me know that the cottage was ready and letting me check in a little early to dump my gear and get amongst it in fantastic North Canterbury. The location was fantastic, with an early start for a local event just down the road at Island Hills. I wish I could have stayed longer and made use of that flash-looking bath too. It was just a place to sleep this time BUT I've already put a return visit on the 'to-do' list. Cheers Toby!!

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!

Clean and quiet accommodation. Very friendly hosts! Highly recommended

Beautiful, warm, spotless property. Felt just like being at home! Check in was a breeze with very clear insturctions from Andrew. We arrived later in the eveing and walked into a warm and inviting home. Would highly reccommend this property especially for those travelling with children/teenagers.

Our stay with 4 adults and 2 1yr olds was great. Richard sorted out a high chair last minute and portacot was available at the house which worked well. Serene location looking out over the hills from the spacious deck and plenty of bird life. Could have done with a few more amenities such as salt and kindling/firestarters, however, the ducted heat pump did an amazing job of heating the whole house. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Dani was so welcoming and helpful, she made sure i had everything i needed. The unit was just fantastic with everything you could possibly need, lots of beautiful touches-big fluffy cushions and towels set out ready for you. Lovely views across the farm to the moutains. Highly reccomend staying with Dani and her family.

Beautifully decorated accommodation in a super convenient location! It was warm, exceptionally clean and had great amenities! The bath was a lovely bonus despite having hot pools a walking distance away! Would definitely recommend and stay again in future!

Any confusion re: location was all mine. Once I understood I needed to check in with the Top 10 Park office, it all became too easy. My wife & I had 4 family friends from overseas staying with us, & they were VERY impressed. Kitchen Appliances, Linen etc, & then the beds themselves -firm, but we all slept really well. The bathroom was rated highly by all, & a separate "powder room" off the lounge area was a bonus. The lounge area easily accomodated us all. Outside on the deck was a Weber Gas BBQ for our use, but sadly not for us this time. A very well thought out design given the constraints of the building external dimensions. Inside, it feels very generous in it's proportions. We highly recommend this as an excellent place to stay. Try to book it for more than just a single night, which was our only regret. Our compliments to our hosts, who btw were very easily contacted. Thanks again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Tristan helped us with check in and showed us to the apartment. The apartment was well equipped and very central. Would stay again 😊.

Very nice place, clean and modern. The host was helpful and gave us clean towels every day. The kitchen is a little small for a longer stay but still functional.

Loved our stay, this was our second time here as we enjoyed it so much the first time! Stunning views over the vineyard from your room, and such a peaceful setting. We had a delicious trust the chef lunch with matching wines before check in too :)

Exceeded our expectations. Beautiful fittings, amazing bathrooms & very sylish rooms. Beds & bedding were luxurious! Would definitely stay again & recommend to our friends

I recommend the accommodation, we were here for the second time. Clean, comfortable, beautiful view, quiet, privacy, nice owners. Absolutely exceptional. We will definitely be back.
