Peter and Tessa were incredibly helpful and welcoming, also very communicative prior to our arrival, which is always appreciated. We mostly appreciate their kindness as it was my husband's birthday on the day we arrived and I ordered some slices of cake from a nearby bakery, which they accepted and kept ready in the room for us when we arrived. The rooms are very clean and everything looks new and well-maintained. We took a walk to a recommended restaurant nearby for dinner, and Peter was very kind about showing us the way and offering to drop us off. Tessa maintains the garden and flowers beautifully too! We only wish we could stay longer :)

A quiet little oasis not far from Christchurch airport, they offer a shuttlebus service, the room was spotlessly clean, bed was super comfortable, the owners are delightful. Easy walking distance to eateries and supermarket, self catering is an option in the kitchenette. Lovely garden setting.

Lovely property for what it is. Seemed to be a family business run with pride. But there’s nothing nearby for eating or shopping. I had to drive a couple km for that. And when I did laundry (I did appreciate having that ability), I couldn’t get the dryer to dry the clothes. My suite was full of wet clothes laid out to dry with a portable heater running overnight and me getting up in the night to turn the clothes over so they would be dry by morning. Still, I may stay there again at the end of my trip. It’s near the airport.

The owner was really friendly and welcoming. I travel a lot and this was one of the best places I've been as far as staff and attitude goes. The room was perfect with everything you need in the kitchenette. Warm room and electric blanket. All very clean and with a lovely NZ wilderness mural on the wall. The shower pressure was AMAZING! The gardens were beautiful. I will certainly be back.
