Correct answer is a rotary laser level, but they are a few hundred, so might be a hire job. Cheaper solution is a builders line with a hanging spirit level.

A water level .
You only really need one end to measure with - I just chucked the other into a bottle of water, which was used as the datum.

A taught string and a line level will work fine.

Put the level at one end of the string but not in the middle to prevent sagging.

Currently digging down in to my garden in preparation to build a deck. Is there something I can use to check my levels against the house on the other side of a 5m patio?
The garden's about 12m long so I feel like a level and string isn't going to cut it for accuracy.
