"The bed was comfortable and there are plenty of eateries around there- thank you Steve and Chet."

6.0

Location was good - we did not have the breakfast. The room was spotless and had all we needed.

Room and bathroom were a little bit cramped. No kettle in room.

Very cosy and inviting B&B in a quiet leafy suburb of Christchurch. Easy walking distance to local restaurants and a 10 minute drive to the centre of Christchurch and 20 minute drive to the airport. Your host Chet provides a nice breakfast to start the day. Perfect for that overnight stay or for longer.

"A designer cottage with a home from home feel"

10.0

What a delightful accommodation find, and an unexpected surprise of a kitchenette in our cottage. Host Steve met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the facilities and a page with a map and suggestions. Host Chet served breakfast and provided more tips and suggestions. Many laughs were enjoyed - it's rare to find this level of personalised service in a B&B. The premises (both the dwellings and the gardens) have been meticulously designed and curated. Breakfast is from 8-9am. The location is a walkable distance to the CBD. We stayed 2 nights, and it's a great location to use as a base when exploring the beyond ChCh.

"Met our needs for a 4 night stay. Very helpful hosts."

8.0

The hosts were friendly and helpful. The breakfast definitely filled the spot each morning. Very close to bus services which was great since we didn't have a car.

The room was adequate but a bit cramped. Not enough storage space provided. The tiny fridge (not even a bar fridge) was disappointing.
