Top Hotels Near Christchurch Gondola in Christchurch from NZ$209

Tracy is the perfect host. The house was perfectly prepared with great linen, atmosphere and location. You couldn't hope for better. The bonus for us was being able to bring Max our poodle. We had lovely days relaxing with visits from our Christchurch family. The afternoons were bliss with the sun beaming in on cold winters days. Weather didn't permit us to use the lovely outdoor setting, our visit being mid-winter in an exceptionally cold snap. We were cozy with either the reverse cycle air con or the amazing bionic fire. Tracy left us her lovely hens eggs and treats for max, which we appreciated as well as saying we were welcome to use some other items (which of course we didn't as this was more than generous). We seriously did relax and just enjoy, We will be back and know that a lot of hard work goes in to preparing and maintaining a property to this standard. Well done!

I liked that it was very open and had a somewhat private outdoor area.

We almost did not want to go out the view is so stupendous, with a back up soundtrack that is the sea sweeping in and out. The house is a stunning contemporary design, clean lines and very well appointed. We wished we had booked for longer

Relaxing stay in quiet area. Lovely modern unit.

Clean, modernised comfortable house with all facilities you'd expect.

Great stay. Spa was handy Had teouble with TV but manager just helpful in coming round to try and help

Islay Cottage is amazing - a beautiful heritage cottage that has been carefully renovated with all mod cons. The house is really well equipped with everything you need. Awesome view of the Harbour and port, and a short walk from the shops in Lyttelton. The best place we have ever stayed - definitely 5 stars. Thank you.
