• martine (10/5): Een ideaal verblijf om je rondreis te beginnen. - Goed ontvangst. Zeer proper. Dicht bij de airport. Simpel maar goed ontbijt. De gastheer en vrouw geven goede tips. Zowel voor de restaurants als voor onze verdere reis. Wij waren helemaal klaar om aan onze rondreis te beginnen.

• Flor (10/5): Felt like visiting good friends - Beautiful house and John was an excellent host N/A
• Tuyet Lan (10/5): - We truly had a wonderful stay thanks to the kindness and hospitality of our hosts. My husband’s parents and I travelled from Auckland to Christchurch, but due to a flight delay we arrived much later than expected. We had to order UberEats for dinner, and our host went above and beyond by lending us bowls and plates — and even helping us wash them afterward, even though it was not something he was required to do. We are genuinely grateful for his thoughtfulness. Both hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to chat with us whenever they had the chance. The next morning, we woke up to a beautifully prepared breakfast with bread, muesli, yogurt, milk, orange juice, and jams, all enjoyed with a lovely view from the window. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. We wish both of you good health, happiness, and all the best always.
• Smith (9/5): Comfortable stay near the airport and city center - Beautiful and quiet setting near the airport. The owners were very nice and welcoming and made us feel right at home. Would have appreciated a fan as it can get warm. We opened the windows but there are no big screens so we did not want to leave the windows open with the lights in
• Christian (10/5): Familiäres Guesthouse in warmer Atmosphäre - Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, schöner Garten, grosszügige Zimmer mit Whirlpoolbad. Einfaches parken vorm Guesthouse. Der Haushund Lucy war bezaubernd. Nix
• Dana (10/5): -
• Karoline (10/5): Fantastic location with great recommendations! - Nice private setting in Christchurch. The hosts were friendly and extremely helpful with recommendations in the area! We had plenty of space and a nice breakfast was served each morning. Everything was great, nothing to not like.
• Yana Tretiakova (10/5): Thanks for all,John!!!! - John and his wife are very nice and friendly hosts, they always helped us and responded immediately to our requests, thank them for their hospitality, we will definitely return. Nothing
• TIANYU (10/5): The most authentic B&B experience - Ping and John's house is lovely, with spacious rooms and a beautiful garden. The two hosts are incredibly welcoming; they love to chat, share, and are very considerate of their guests' feelings. And a special shout-out to their dog, Lucy! She's so adorable and well-behaved. The house is very close to the airport, making it perfect for travelers starting or ending their South Island journey in Christchurch. Our schedule was a bit rushed in Christchurch, so we regret not being able to chat more with Ping and John or explore the surrounding neighborhood.
• Chun Sheng (10/5): -
• Faza (8/5): -
• Yin Chen (9/5): - We weren’t able to stay on the original booking night due to our delayed flight, but the owners were kind enough to let us stay a night at their place before our flight back home. Our flight was so early in the morning that they even had to get up to send us off. We were so grateful!
• Liza (10/5): it felt like home away from home - it was a very comfortable stay. I felt very welcome. It will be my go-to for future chch accommodation
• B (10/5): Heartwarming - Staying with Peng and John was the best possible way we could have started our trip in New Zealand. Staying with them was like staying with an old family friend. They were so incredibly kind and welcoming. John even spent the evening helping us map out our trip to both islands. They were both outstanding hosts and we hope to stay with them again in the future!
• Rod (10/5): - Our hosts John and Ping went out of their way to make our stay perfect. Nothing was too much trouble and they anticipated anything we might need. Their beautiful home and gardens were a joy to be in. Thank you both. Loved it.

• John (10/5): Delightful from start to finish. - This little B&B is a little gem. John and Ping were exceptionally hospitable from arrival to departure. They were helpful with information relating to meals and airport transport and both got up at a very early hour to give us a delightful continental breakfast and say goodbye the morning we left. Couldn’t find a fault.

• Mary (10/5): Exceptional Hospitality: John and Ping Make Olive House Feel Like Home Away from Home! - Our stay at Olive House Bed and Breakfast was exceptional, thanks to the warm and welcoming hosts, John and Ping. They truly made us feel like we were staying with family, and their hospitality was unmatched. The accommodations were outstanding, offering a spacious and beautifully decorated space. We had two separate bedrooms with queen-sized beds, separated by a large private bathroom – all spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The house is tastefully decorated, featuring artwork, including pieces by the hosts themselves. We especially loved the charming outdoor garden and patio area, which made for a peaceful retreat. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, with easy street parking available. John's local recommendations were incredibly helpful, and we appreciated how John & Ping took our dietary restrictions into consideration for breakfast. We were also treated to great conversation, making our stay feel more like visiting close friends. Also enjoyed cuddling with their cute puppy :-) Olive House is conveniently located, just a short drive from Christchurch International Airport, making it ideal for those traveling in and out of the city. The hosts provided everything we needed, ensuring we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Sadly, we only had the pleasure of staying for one night. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this wonderful B&B to anyone visiting Christchurch. The fantastic value for money, along with the exceptional service, made it one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Thank you, John and Ping – we hope our paths cross again someday!
• Ralf (10/5): Very kind hosts, we felt like we were at home. Definitely recommend!! - John and Ping are friendly and kind hosts, we felt very comfortable during our stay. We were warmly welcomed and quickly felt like we were staying at home. The rooms were clean and well equipped, and the breakfast was very good too. We truly enjoyed our stay and talking with the lovely hosts. John and Ping also gave us some tips of what places to visit which we were very grateful for.
• Mikhail (10/5): Cozy room with super hospitality - John and Ping are so friendly and sweet people. Huge gratitude for their hospitality. They have an amazing hose with super cozy rooms. Me and my wife enjoyed all the time in this house. John also shared useful ideas on what to visit and where to go. Definitely recommend to everyone if you want to feel like at home. Everything was super nice!
• Ofer (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place, amazing host's
• Pranay (10/5): The stay was exactly what one can hope for and more. The host couple went above and beyond and even provided us with som - A perfect stay with a vey a lovely host couple. The place was extremely clean and well organized. Location is very convenient for flying into and out of Christchurch.
• Michelle (10/5): Amazing - John and Ping were amazing beyond belief- an absolute breath of fresh air. John is very knowledgeable and gives great recommendations. It was wonderful to wake up to a continental breakfast made. Talking with John and Ping feels like talking with close friends or family. A clean, comfortable, and charming place to stay. Everything was great!
• Hilde (8/5): Good place to stay near Vhristchurch city center - Welcoming couple, lots of information and advice on the area. Two comfortable rooms and nice breakfast. Nothing, it was a bit further from the center than I thought, but we had a car so there was no problem.
• Gnoth (10/5): It was perfect for our needs. Close to the airport, but a lovely neighbourhood. - Wonderful hosts! John and Ping went out of their way to be helpful. Nothing
• Catherine (10/5): Lovely stay, beautiful house with their own paintings. Highly recommend! - We loved our stay. The hosts were so sweet, welcoming, and accommodating, especially when our arrival time for check in kept changing due to unexpected plans. Unlike most B&Bs, we weren't given a key to the house or our room. But, what this meant was that the hosts would wait for us to come home every day, which I've never seen anyone do before. They have a very cute dog and provided us with a lovely breakfast. They are so accommodating with what time you want breakfast (fruit, cereal, juice, yogurt, bread, spread, coffee/tea). They took time to make sure we were full and our dietary needs were met. We both enjoyed having conversations with the hosts, learning more about them and sharing more about ourselves. They've been doing this for over 17 years, and you can tell that they don't do it for the money. They do it for the experience, and they really make you feel at home. They only ever have one party staying at a time. So, even though we booked just a single room, we were provided with a room, large bathroom, and an additional bedroom that we could use as a storage room, which was definitely a pleasant surprise. Hosts also provided great recommendations for what to do in the city and handed us a map of the town. The rooms were comfortable, well heated, and they provided us with a kettle, coffee/tea, and fridge for our personal use (located within the bathroom). The neighborhood is safe and quite. Street parking is easy. And if you are going to or coming from the airport, it's located quite close. We felt bad that the hosts had to wait for us to return to let us into the house. We weren't going to stay out late, but if we did, we wouldn't want to affect their sleep schedules for this even though they said they are okay with it.
• Apivatana (10/5): Exceptional - John and Ping are incredible hosts. They made us feel like our own home. John's knowledge of Christchurch and surroundings allows us enjoy the trip even more. The house is absolutely clean. I recommend this place for guest who wants to visit Christchurch. Nothing
• Samantha (10/5): Hospitality of its finest. - Beds were comfortable and rooms separated which was excellent. Breakfast was superbly done. Host wonderful including little Lucy. Very homely and cosy. Tidy and clean. Unfortunately, the back bedroom's heater was a bit too small on these cool nights. Yes, it took the chill off but not heating up the room like the other bedroom.
• Kaitlyn (10/5): Exceptional - We absolutely love how homely it felt. John and Ping are fantastic hosts. It just felt like we were staying with family 🙂
• Lois (9/5): This place is awesome!! - The suite has two bedrooms with queen-sized beds. The owners are super nice. We were really comfy when we stayed there. None
• Aida (9/5): A great stay on the edge of Christchurch - A wonderful reception from the fantastic hosts. It was a great place to spend the night, with good facilities in a really lovely home, shared with the hosts. We were provided with everything necessary and with abundant information and recommendations. In the morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Fantastic value for money, too. There is nothing we can think of.
• Alana (9/5): Superb -
• Langzn (10/5): Comfort in Christchurch. - John and his wife were friendly and really helpful. They waited for us much later than originally planned due to our flight delay. Everything was great the amenities were good . Didn't get to make use of the bath. Something we don't have where we live.
• Sharyn30 (10/5): Exceptional - The personal attention, the fresh fruit and very comfortable bed
• Beatriz (10/5): Exceptional - Best hosts ever. Thanks for all.
• Francis (10/5): Excellent -
• Conner (10/5): A Wonderful Quiet Home - Our hosts were a delight. They exceeded every expectation related to accommodation. It seemed like we had an entire house at or disposal. We found that we shared a love of visual arts. Both John and Ping are wonderful artists. John recommended excellent restaurants nearby. Nothing
• Janet (8/5): Christchurch B & B - The bedrooms were very comfortable and we could relax in our own living room. The hosts were very helpful. The house was located in a quiet cul de sac.
• Jian-bin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marcel (10/5): Amazing - We Germans don't use the word "amazing" very often. But that experience really was just that. If you're looking for a cozy place and tons of ideas for your New Zealand trip, this is the place to stay after you finish a long flight. Thanks to our hosts John, Ping and Lucy. "Es war sehr gut" ;-).
• Richard (8/5): Excellent residential neighbourhood, beautiful garden! - The B&B is in a nice residential neighbourhood, close to CHC airport. We have early morning flight therefore a good choice. It is a beautiful house with a wonderful garden. The bedroom opens to the garden. Hosts are nice and greets you every time, and can give you good restaurant suggestions. Breakfast is simple with juice, yogurt, cereals, milk, toast and jam, and some canned fruits. Overall very quiet. Small dog in the house who is very friendly. Bathroom has a spa bath although we did not use. Adjoining bedroom (share the bathroom), so if you have children tagging along the arrangement is ideal. A bit more variety for the breakfast would be nice (e.g. fresh fruits, and/or eggs/bacon).
• Aleksandr (10/5): Excellent place to stay - Perfectly clean, meticulously maintained and organized place. Spacious rooms with magnificent garden veiw, comfortable bed, nice breakfast. The hosts are wonderful! We are so glad we stayed there while in Christchurch! Thank you so much, John and Ping! Nothing
• Jeffrey (9/5): Overall an excellent b+b, would gladly stay there again or recommend to friends. - Excellent location, quiet neighborhood, convenient to airport. John and Ping were excellent hosts. Lovely home. Excellent Wi-Fi, healthy moderate breakfast (I like a hot breakfast, but rarely eat that much). The continental breakfast was very good. Odd (quirky?) that neither bathroom sink had a mirror in front of it, or a light. Awkward shaving!
• Judith (10/5): John & Ping are wonderful hosts. Thank you for having us in your home. - We had 2 rooms for our family which had a spacious bathroom in-between. This worked out well. Continental breakfast was lovely. Our hosts interestingly did artwork, had a beautiful garden area and a cute wee dog.
• Jane (10/5): Olive House was a great choice for beginning our trip to the south island of New Zealand. - Olive House was great. It was the perfect choice for beginning our travels through the south island. John and Ping were wonderful hosts. They were very helpful with information on Christchurch and its environs. The accommodation was very spacious. While the house is located on the outskirts of the city, the bus service to and from downtown was very convenient -- the bus stop is just a couple of minutes walk away. The airport is not too far away as well. There was room to park our rental car. Nothing; everything was great.
• Darren (10/5): Exceptional - Close to the airport- great for getting over the jet lag and still easy reach to town
• Mandy (8/5): Very good - Beautiful house and perfect hosts. The hosts were lovely.
• Judi (10/5): Great location close to the airport, all well needed was provided.breakfast was divine fresh fruit s - The hosts went above and beyond and were most helpful, kind and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed their home, garden and being so warmly welcomed Nothing. Everything was exceptional
• Yvette (10/5): Friendly hosts, very comfortable beds, quiet location. Highly recommended. - Olive House is a lovely private residence in a northern suburb of Christchurch...about half an hour to the Port Hills. The bedrooms were well appointed and beds very comfortable, and we also had use of a separate lounge and outside garden area. The hosts are very friendly, and their little dog Lucy is a delight. If you enjoy chatting with a local, or having a little quiet downtime, this is a great option. Nothing of note.

The location is convenient to the airport, the city and John’s recommendations for restaurants were great. Thank you for making us feel welcome and at home. Brett also, loved that you found AFL games for him to watch. Nothing!
• Corey (10/5): Exceptional - John and Ping are very welcoming and engaging hosts! They made us feel like family.
• Karin (10/5): My friend and I loved our night away .. John and Ping were extremely friendly and with extra “security” (Lucy ) we could - Extremely friendly and accommodating hosts .. the rooms were clean, warm and had everything we needed. n/a
• Tejal (8/5): Very good -
• Patricia (8/5): Lovely hosts in a quiet neighborhood convenient to airport. - Our hosts were lovely and very hospitable. The rooms were very nice and beds were comfortable.. It was very cold in the rooms. A hot breakfast option and fresh fruit would have been welcomed.
• Hock (9/5): Great stay at Olive House Bed and Breakfast - The comfortability of the room, beauty of the house and great breafast in the super beautiful dining hall.The hospitality of the host John and Ping defintely is the plus plus point, so freindly and helpful. We stayed one night but had such a great talk like meeting old friends. Wonderful stay! None.
• Ron (10/5): Super venue & great hosts - Excellent breakfast. Super nice hosts. Great place to stay when in Christchurch. Really enjoyed the B & B. All was excellent
• Winstanley (9/5): Superb -
• Colin (6/5): Some guest facilities could be improved, but Olive House represented value for money overall. - Olive House is in a quiet suburb about 20 minutes drive from the airports, 17 from central Christchurch, to which there is also good public transport, and seven from a precinct of good restaurants. Our accommodation was an unusual arrangement of two bedrooms, one of which we used for storage, separated by a large bathroom with shower and spa bath. Our firm mattress was comfortable; furnishings included large wardrobes and small bedside drawers but no table or chest. We also had access to the family lounge and a pleasant garden with seating area. Free internet worked well. We received a friendly reception. The house is decorated with attractive pictures by John and his accomplished artist wife Ping, and we like too their friendly little dog. There was little continental about the ‘Continental breakfast’, set out to encourage morning conversation with host John. It comprised cereal, toast and jam, fruit yoghurt pots and probably tinned fruit salad, maybe augmented by kiwi or fruit from the garden. In addition, our room had tea bags and sugar, but no milk, biscuits or coffee, although a cup of granules was provided on request. Nor are there any information leaflets, but John is knowledgeable about the area and happy to answer questions or give suggestions.
