Waterfront holiday rentals in Christchurch

Fantastic stay for a long weekend with my wife! The location was perfect for exploring the town, and the exclusive development added a touch of luxury. The apartment was spotless and well-maintained, with a great view of the river from the balcony - The seating and table was very comfortable. The one-bedroom layout worked well for us, with spacious rooms and a hall. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. A big plus was the convenient car parking, just a stone's throw from the lift. One tip for future guests: make sure to pick up the garage key fob from the apartment before unloading your car! Overall, we were very comfortable here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful location. Even better than the pics! Lovely and clean and had all that we needed.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my family. Had a great stay the house is fabulous very clean and spacious really central close to shops restaurants etc. We felt right at home. Anna was very responsive to some questions we had. We will definitely be booking again as we regularly visit the island as my brother and his family live there. Would highly recommend 👍

We stayed for 6 days in mid-August and it was such a great location and experience for us. Coming up to the day of arrival, Laura was in contact in relation to recommendations for places to see and things to do on site, advice on getting over to the island, where the local shops were etc. The apartment was really quiet and the place was well cared for. When we checked in there was everything there we needed. The fridge was empty and clean, as was the freezer. Everything you would expect for the kitchen was there. You do need to supply your own washing powder, but that was ok. Check out was just as easy and while it was early (10am) there are plenty of ferries running at that time to get you back to the mainland.

perfect location by the water with a handy Tesco extra downstairs for breakfast pastries! lovely balcony to see the sunset

I messaged prior to booking with some questions and Clare and Alex responded extremely fast, they even enquired with a taxi company as to whether they would do the journey to and from a wedding for us! Communication after booking was fab with really clear instructions. Upon arriving the place was really well presented, had everything we need. As an extra special (and much appreciated!) touch there was milk, coffee, tea, sugar and some chocolates! The bed was super comfy and the place had alot of storage for our clothes. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it to everyone!

We stayed in Southbourne last year and knew what we were looking for. Stratton Oak ticked all our boxes. Modern property in perfect location. The accommodation is maintained to a very high standard.

The best place I have booked during my trip in the UK. Its calm, we can hear the birds in the morning. The sun gets in easily and lights the place well. Many nice walks close by. The host is the most welcoming. I hope to go back there.

Carey is always responsive and happy to help as much as she can, this is our second stay here and it doesn’t disappoint, clean and everything is thought of, will definitely stay there again 😊

We’ve just enjoyed a stay, very clean , we were a family of 12 , all different ages , plenty of room to enjoy the space , with lovely walks , literally few minutes to the beach. A great time had by all !

This was the perfect get away. The house was lovely and had everything we needed . Parking was a short walk but no problem. We loved the views and the setting was gorgeous. I would not hesitate to recommend and I would certainly like to return. Thank you Corinne for a great holiday!

David is a fantastic host. He always responded to my requests with explicit and honest information. We shall use the house again in future which I think is testimony to the time we had and location which we loved. Thanks once again.

When people say "hidden jem" this is what they mean. Photos really don't do this beautiful annex justice. And Sue is a fantastic host. Very picturesque and peaceful too, though be mindful of the Abbey bells which can start early morning (Sunday).

What a wonderful find, location, location, location! The lodge is right on the river where you can watch the daily foray of boats, paddle boards, canoes and wildlife. The lodge itself was very clean with plenty of storage and cupboard space. Gorgeous outside space with strategically placed hammocks and chairs to watch the world go by. I had a massage in the spa which was wonderful and we all went in the sauna with its cold water pool, all on site, what an experience! Christchurch high street is 2 mins away with its many restaurants and shops. I would definitively recommend this Airbnb.

Really lovely property in a very quiet area. We were attending courses at warsash maritime school and didn’t need to drive to and from the campus each day as the property is so close with just a pleasant ten minute stroll along the river bank path. Very relaxing setting and lay out of property is excellent. We will definitely look to stay there again when attending further courses.

Fantastic property with amazing views, enjoyed relaxing in the garden overlooking the beach and coastline. Great location for exploring the coast and the restaurants and activities nearby. Loved it and would book again. Andy and Rachel are great hosts.

Really good, clean, well equipped apartment. Very well located for access to the town and beyond, although obviously that does mean there is a bit of traffic noise but not too intrusive. Had we been travelling in peak summertime, personally we would have sought outdoor space but the apartment was described accurately and suited our needs perfectly. Host is very responsive, helpful and genuinely polite and welcoming.

The flat was spacious and comfortable, with all the dishes and linens we needed. Check-in instructions were very clear (with helpful photo illustrations). The location is only a few minutes from everything in central Southampton.

Chris' apartment was a great find. We stayed for a month and booked after our previous arrangements were cancelled. we are delighted with the apartment and the location. The place was clean and bright, very comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It was also beautifully decorated, with lovely touches, great guidebooks and some nice breakfast items for our first morning. Chris is a great host. His guidebook and instructions are invaluable - I would highly recommend anyone to take the time to read them before arriving. He has taken a lot of time and effort into putting the information together and it makes life so much easier and certainly adds to the enjoyment of your stay.

Julie was a fantastic host, she was very responsive and helpful. The flat was lovely, it was in a great central location and was well equipped, homely and pristine. There were thoughtful touches such as the welcome hamper and a useful parking permit. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or to return again.

A spacious, light and airy flat. It was well equipped and very comfortable. The central location was ideal for us. Andreas communicated well with us and we had a very enjoyable stay.

Very helpful and responsive host, beautifully decorated apartment in a great location to access the beach and conference centre

Nice clean accommodation, well decorated with everything you would need, good communication from Maureen regarding the stay. Tesco nearby for groceries, Cafe 100yds away for coffee and breakfast or dinner. We stayed for a weekend and went to eat at Rick Steins one night and Poole harbour the next night.

A wonderful little flat, with great views over the harbour. It was perfectly located for a variety of amenities and an easy walk to the coastal path. Martin let us know that we could check in just after 12pm, which meant we could settle in and enjoy our first day without waiting. The apartment was clean, well equipped and private. Instructions were all clear and access was easy. Free parking is around the corner from the property, on a residential road. Swanage is a great town, with plenty to do for a weekend break. The location of the apartment, with its sea view are the stand out features. We had a great stay and will visit again!
