Guest Reviews
- Mcgregor (10/5): -
- Greene (10/5): - The receptionist was just so lovely and helpful. The cabin was clean, tidy and comfortable and had everything we needed. Great value for money too. There was nothing that was unlikable.
- Toni (8/5): Nice home-base, near everything we wanted to see - Our room (The Tourist Flat) was nice, private and included everything we needed We didn’t realise the second cabin we requested only had one double bed, but two singles, but our kids survived lol
- Toni (8/5): Nice, clean place to stay near the beach - It was nice, clean, quiet and near the beach We had one double bed instead of two single beds, but we made it work
- Maryann (8/5): - A comfortable cabin and good value for the location. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Great hot water and pressure in the shower. The shower stall needs a shelf to keep shampoo and soap on it. The shower head was okay for us short people but I wouldn't want to be taller than 165cms. Not enough toilet paper.

- David (10/5): Relaxing comfortable stay, very happy kids - Fabulous facilities for the kids (under 8s), who loved the playground, trampoline, fish tanks and paddling pool! Us grown ups enjoyed the estuary walk, the beach, the spa bath and comfy beds (we stayed in the deluxe cabin), and the warmth and hospitality of the reception staff. Great little park, would definitely stay again.

The last day and evening there was no tv available at all..
- Kingston (10/5): Lovely campsite, with a warm cabin for cooler weather - Stayed in one of the two bed units. Very pretty, maintained site. I didn’t meet with the staff due to my arrival and departure times but they were great through email.

- Natalia (8/5): Nice stay in quiet and beautiful location. - We stayed in a cabin, which was clean and cosy. It had what we needed.
The kitchen was clean and tidy, and the layout was very nice. The flow for sinks to stoves to the dining area and fridges were good. It was a nice, spacious kitchen and dining areas with large windows. They provided basic crockeries, which were very much appreciated. The women's bathroom has mold problems on the ceiling. There is a sign on the door that they are going to upgrade the bathroom, so maybe this issue is going to be addressed soon.
- Anne (10/5): Exceptional - I really enjoyed my wooden bedroom, the bed was very comfy and I loved the atmosphere of the room!
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - I stay here quite regularly, but the hosts are amazing and always very welcoming, also helped me out with checking in early when my child was sick as didn't want to have him out in the cold, usually stay in the tourist flat, has everything i need, couch tv, gas hot water shower, kitchen utilities, cant say enough
- Lyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (10/5): Hidden gem in Christchurch for the best price - I booked a studio unit, and I didn't expect it to be so great!
It has everything you need, a cute little porch to enjoy your coffee, a spacious room, a couch, a TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom. Great water pressure.
Really good location too. Very quiet area.
It was an unexpected surprise.
I live in Christchurch, but I'll be back!
The staff was super attentive too.
Everything was outstanding.
