Guest Reviews

• Caiman (9/5): 清静，舒适，入住及退房都很简单，房东很用心 -
• Gunjan (10/5): -
• Nathan (10/5): Exactly what I needed after a cancelled flight: fast, warm, and right by the airport. - I had my flight cancelled late at night and needed somewhere to stay urgently. The property had my room ready within 30 minutes, with the heating already on and everything set up for my arrival. It was such a relief after a stressful evening. The location is also incredibly convenient for the airport, which made catching my early rebooked flight the next morning so much easier. Really appreciated the care and efficiency.
• EPF (10/5): Excellent-- return each yesr -
• Leeann (10/5): -
• Caroline (10/5): Highly recommend this as place to launch your NZ holiday from. - Wish we could have stayed longer to chat with the owners - they were so relatable and friendly but our travel Plans cut the visit short. Fantastic facilities and beautiful garden- superb hospitality and offered to drive us to our Britz van down the road. Such good vibes from Greg and Sue. Very close to the airport and even closer to the motorhome depots- highly recommend this as a place to stay. We didn’t get in until 1am due to flight delays and this was not an issue- they left the light on to our Studio and arranged everything so we could get straight out of our taxi and into our room with minimal Fuss. Great start to our trip. The fact we didn’t spend more time there. Swimming pool and tennis court looked terrific- next time maybe.
• Anne (10/5): Beautiful property just 5 mins from airport. Owners were lovely. - Like a home from home. Good breakfast choice. Nothing
• Richard (8/5): -
• Susan (10/5): - Quiet but close to airport. Helpful Owners Very spacious, comfy beds. All you need breakfast. Beautiful grounds
• sapir (10/5): Perfect - Sue's hospitality was fantastic. We arrived in the afternoon to the huge suite, with many treats already waiting for us in the kitchen. Sue even offered us a ride to the RV rental station, and held our bags while we were there. Highly recommended!
• Judith (10/5): Clean and quiet, great for an overnight stay, especially if you want to do laundry and re-pack your luggage! - Quiet rural setting down a country lane - handy for the airport and public transport. Lots of generous and thoughtful touches, especially all the tea varieties and snacks, which meant I could stay put all afternoon and get on with my work without having to go out and look for something to eat. It was a bit over-cluttered with personal stuff - pictures and ornaments that made it feel a bit too much like I was in a family’s home, but not in a good way. Simplifying the style would actually make it feel more luxurious. Lack of bedside lights for reading was a definite disappointment.
• J. (10/5): Wir hatten 2 tolle Tage in Christchurch. Auch dank unserer tollen Gastgeber. - Sehr variantenreiches Frühstück inkl Muffins, selbstgebackenen Quiches, Früchten, Nüssen. Wundervoller Sitzplatz im Grünen inkl Pool Einige Flieger am Morgen sonst sehr ruhig.
• Vicki (10/5): - Beautiful home, with amazing helpful hosts
• Pat (10/5): The entire family staying at Maples on Harewood is so appreciative of the “above and beyond” provided by Sue and Greg - Everything that could be offered to make special wedding preparations go smoothly was done by Sue and Greg. There are no negatives.
• Lily (10/5): -
• Edith (9/5): - Sehr herzliche Gastgeber.
• Karin (9/5): -
• Sabine (9/5): -
• Ana (10/5): -
• Lucie (10/5): - This accommodation exceeded our expectations. Greg and Sue are wonderful hosts, their warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. The garden space is beautifully done and is a perfect place to unwind and relax. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again.
• Dorine (10/5): Een heerlijke plek - Wat een heerlijke plek om te verblijven: ruim, gezellig ingericht, een mooie tuin met zwembad en zelfs een whirlpool. Greg en Sue zijn superhosts! Ze zorgden ervoor dat we ons thuis voelden en hadden veel goede reistips. Een absolute aanrader!
• Kurt (9/5): -
• Mark (9/5): Everything we needed for a transition after arriving in South Island - Location was very convenient for the airport and Antarctic Center. Breakfast included slices of egg pie which were much appreciated. This was a one night stay so we did not have time to explore the garden.
• Andreas (10/5): -
• Karyn (10/5): If you have small children, or even if you don’t.. look no further, this is absolutely the best place to stay! - This was like staying with lovely friends. There was so much to do for the children (swimming pool with lots of floaty toys, spa, outdoor playground and indoor playroom) and we were so well looked after. Not only did we have so many snacks provided, but our wee girls were also given ice cream during the afternoon, and hot chips to go with our picnic tea. The accommodation was so beautiful and clean, with everything we needed and more. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed, with the kindest of hosts.. thank you so much! xx
• egge jan (9/5): Heerlijk verblijf - We werden door de zeer vriendelijke eigenaar naar de camperverhuur gebracht -
• Andrea (10/5): - We would stay again, perfect for a weekend away. Loved the breakfast options and that I didn't need to sign into an app to get tv chanels.
• Mathew (10/5): - Was a lovely place to stay the owners were stunning and very welcoming would stay again
• Dale (10/5): - Everything was terrific and the Owners were very attentive and happy to assist in any way... also very polite and kind. I did not have the opportunity to explore all that they had, as I was on a very busy & productive holiday... but noticed a lovely hot-tube, comfy looking conversation area, pool and even a tennis-court... all looking very inviting. I plan to come back!!
• Andrew (10/5): - This place is amazing. Loved the spaciousness and outdoor immenites
• Dax (10/5): - The property was super cozy and the hosts went above and beyond for us , would highly recommend this property to anyone ! We will be back for sure
• Martin (9/5): We enjoyed our stay as the hosts were fantastic. - Breakfast great. Hosts were very friendly and helpful N/A
• Kerry (9/5): excellent - Nice all round Tidy, clean accommodating.
• Lillian (10/5): - We were looking for a spacious and convenient place to stay the night before our international flight, and this home went above and beyond our expectations. Not only was it incredibly comfortable, but it was also thoughtfully stocked with snacks, laundry facilities, and everything we needed to feel at home. The communication from the hosts was excellent—prompt, clear, and warm. We also loved having the chance to relax in the beautiful garden and enjoy the Jacuzzi before a long travel day. Highly recommend for anyone needing easy airport access with comfort and care.
• Ian (8/5): - Perfect location for Christchurch Airport. Good facilities, clean and tidy.
• Sanjeev Kumar (10/5): - Nice place to stay and Visit again.
• Noel (8/5): Well situated and nice property that offers all you need for a great stay - Sue, Greg and their property were fabulous. From a warm welcome, the provision of welcome treats and breakfast facilities, as well as the access to and use of a washer & dryer it was all positive. An added bonus to have a sporting connection to be able to chat about too Our only slightly minor feedback relates to a) the lack of a door or access to common area side from within the suite (Violet) and b) needing to use laundry to do our dishes
• Aviel (10/5): Homey and great for kids - Lovely stay. The kids loved all the amenities. Feels like home, and the couple running the apartment are so welcoming. Thank you!
• Wanaja (8/5): Very convenient place from/to the airport. - Location. 5 minutes from the airport. Very Friendly host. Good breakfast choices. Lovely garden. Room was cluttered with a lot of personal things including a a large baby bed. Didn’t feel private enough. A small sink in the living/dining room area that is used as a kitchenette will help.
• Richard (10/5): very enjoyable -
• Patricia (9/5): Superb - Very welcoming! Lovely outdoor space!
• Andrew (10/5): Very happy stay - Great stay. Very clean and up to date. Will stop again
• Robbie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Clare (10/5): Brilliant - Great for a stop before leaving NZ. Facilities were excellent, so spacious and comfortable.
• troy (10/5): - The Maples on Harewood is wonderful! Lovely fresh baked muffins and plenty of food for breakfast. Hosts are awesome! Highly recommend 👌
• troy (10/5): - Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!! The best place ever. Great hosts and amazing hospitality!
• Maggie (9/5): Good value and perfectly situated for the airport - Great welcome from our hosts, and really convenient for the airport. We were there for just one night and didn't use the swimming pool or hot tub. But it was still good value because there was enough food for an evening snack as well as continental breakfast. And Greg gave us a lift back from the airport after we dropped off our hire car, as well as take us next morning to the airport with all our luggage, saving us taxi fares. The second bed was a useful surface for reorganising the contents of our big suitcases. Too many things to trip over in the living area and on my side of the bed. But perfectly adequate for just one night.
• Sayaka (10/5): The owners are really nice and friendly! I’ll stay there again if I have a chance to get to Christchurch! Thank you so m - Everything is awesome 🤩

• Brian (10/5): - Great accommodation and location. Friendly and helpful owners.
• Rach (10/5): Tranquility - Amazing accommodation with lovely hosts who went out of their way for us. Quiet location. Breakfast provided was way above our expectations 😋. We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the pool or outdoor area. 😢
• Paula (10/5): Welcoming owners, quiet, comfy & great location . - Location & quietness were exactly what we needed for an overnight stay prior to an early flight out in the morning Nothing really - it was perfect.

The icing on the cake was Greg driving us, free, the following morning to the location nearby where we collected our campervan for our two week driving tour of South Island. A fabulous start to our New Zealand experience. Thank you. All was well.
