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.
