Helpful and friendly staff on check in. Convenient to walk or use the bus to Christchurch with a bus stop outside. Very nice room though a little small for a double but ok for one night.

Gin gives you a “welcome home” greeting so sincerely and warmly that it actually feels real. The place is lovely, fun, beautiful, cozy, and a great location for walking to town or the lovely shops nearby. Wonderful value and great way to experience NZ hospitality.

Wayne was extremely helpful as we had a very late arrival (actually 2 am the next morning) and he accommodated us with a key that we could easily find and use to access our suite. Then the next morning he made us a delicious Cappiccino😁

The photograph on the website make it appear that you will stay in the stately main building. Instead we stayed in what is best described as a drab, mid century motel unit with kitchenette next to a main road.

The hosts and staff went above and beyond to fulfill our needs. The room was extremely clean, fresh and welcoming. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in any hotel we have stayed in across Africa and Europe. An unforgettable stay for 11 nights.

An absolutely beautiful old villa, immaculately updated. Beautifully kept garden. Great parking areas. The owner/manager was extremely polite and helpful. I think we were upgraded to a larger room, if we weren't the cost for a room in such a beautiful manor was very reasonable.

Couldn’t fault this place on anything. Wayne checked us in and was very helpful with advice on things to do and how best to get there. While Merivale is a very nice suburb with supermarkets and places to eat very close by, it is still a decent 20-30min walk into the city centre. It didn’t bother us at all as we had a car.

Fabulous place, only wished we'd had more time there. Arrived llater than planned, but had a great welcome from Karen who made us feel so welcome. Room so well equipped and very high standard, could have done with a week there! Seemed to be well placed for town centre and local amenities. Would definatey recommend and would use again at an instant. Wayne also super friendly.
