Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Awatere Valley

This beautiful home exceeded our expectations. So open and spacious and the view to the mountains was spectacular. We enjoyed the lovely bath tub and was great to have a washing machine. No wifi, no problem. We read out on the deck listening to the ducks play in the little stream. Would highly recommend 😊

From start to finish, this experience surpassed all expectations. The property is stunning and sits nestled in a little slice of paradise. Every detail was thought of and nothing was out of place. A sublime stay. We will be back!

We had a great family holiday at Bernie’s place in Hanmer. The house was amazing, the photos don’t do it justice! Bernie was the best host, the house was beautifully made up with the heating on for our arrival. Every last detail was thought about. The house was immaculate. We will definitely be back and will recommend Bernie’s place in future. Thank you for your hospitality Bernie 🌸

I can not rate this house more highly. It is so peaceful, with the most incredible views out every window! There was nothing better than waking up and looking out the window to the mountain range, and that evening having an incredible hot spa heated by a log fire. The house is rustic, with ever piece of furniture quirky and well chosen for the space. The bathrooms were spotless and the fire was lit ready for us when we arrived which we really appreciated. The beach is so close by, listening to the waves was my favourite thing. As a family, we absolutely adored our stay here.

We loved our stay at the bach! Comfortable & cosy, we loved the spa and the open fire, the surroundings were spectacular! The house had everything we needed for a fun stay! Conical hill walk just up the road was awesome! So much to eat & do at the village. Would highly recommend this lovely home 😊

Thank you so much for another great stay Paul. We love it here and we'll definitely be back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were out mountain biking a couple of times a day, and Andrew’s place was perfect to relax in afterwards. Highly recommended.

Stunning, spacious mid century house, big homely kitchen and beautiful peaceful gardens. Short walk to the park at the end of the street. Gas heater kept the home toasty during cooler nights. Sarah was a very responsive and accommodating and we would definitely rebook if given the opportunity.

Valerie and Ewan were very friendly and a highlight was their spectacular garden. We were very lucky to be able to help ourselves to the abundant veggie patch. Lots of yummy treats left for us on arrival. Good small supermarket, a couple of pubs and the amazing bakery. We had a very peaceful Xmas/New Year here.

A terrific apartment, cute setting with comfortable bedding. Good amenities

Thank you for the amazing stay. Your place was an awesome spot to relax and unwind. The afternoon sun was devine to soak up. So much space to chill out. The garage made it so helpful to safely store our e-bikes. I’ll recommend your place to friends coming through for mountain biking.

A lovely and comfortable house. Very near to the whale watch station.

Perfect for my needs. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again

Second time we’ve stayed here while visiting Hanmer with family, and another great place to stay. Very close to downtown and the water park. Only shortfall is dishes, glasses and cups are very limited, so you’ll need to hand wash before you come close to filling the dishwasher. Hand to believe they don’t stock more than six of each item.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Greg & Jan’s place! We were there to celebrate our mom’s big birthday and it was a wonderful stay. Lovely house with a beautiful pool, kitchen and everything else ❤️ Greg & Jan were delightful hosts, always available to answer any questions we may have. Beautiful place to stay in Blenheim, visiting many wineries nearby. Highly recommend!

This place was amazing!!! We booked the whole place and had a family reunion with 15 adults, 2 kids and an infant and the villa was perfect! If anything she under sells how wonderful it is!

We loved our stay at the Hawkesbury Homestead!! Beautiful house, plenty of space, lovely grounds and surroundings! Lynda was an amazing host, very communicative and helpful with several local recommendations that were all fabulous.

A beautiful period property in extensive grounds on the edge of town. We felt completely at home and enjoyed the space and the facilities. We particularly appreciated having a full working kitchen which made catering for ourselves really easy.

Lovely house in a great position to walk everywhere and enjoy everything Hanmer Springs has to offer. It had a bit less outdoor space than we were expecting but this didn’t stop us from enjoying a BBQ! The kitchen is very well equipped and it’s a lovely sociable space. The beds were huge and bathrooms spotless. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

fabulous apartment and location. easy walking to town centre. close to the thermal pools.

The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Its location was very convenient, just a short walk to Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa. A pleasant and straightforward stay overall. Would consider booking again.
