Book a Kaiapoi Cottage

"We spent two nights in this excellent two bedroom cottage 15 minutes walk from Chch CBD. The cottage is spacious with separate dining and lounge areas which were very warm and comfortablewith elegant decor. The bedrooms were also spacious and comfortable. The well equipped galley kitchen provided everything we needed to self cater. Danielle is a very professional host and her communication about the property was timely and comprehensive. As with Danielle’s other property near Akaroa (Maison du...

"We enjoyed our stay in this lovely house in Christchurch! It was beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and well provisioned. The location worked well with a grocery store within walking distance and quick access to central Christchurch. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Fab couple, very accommodating. Lovely home thought might be wee bit noisy due to airport but it was beautiful and quiet. Sitting in garden in sunshine eating fresh raspberries home grown 💯 . Will definitely be back . Highly recommended 😊"

"We had a beautiful sunny weekend to enjoy all the home had to offer. Stunning grounds. Pool was warm and clean. Tennis court was outstanding."

"We wanted a place outside the Christchurch for our last night in New Zealand. The cottage was just perfect. It was had everything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer."

"Great little place."

"It was a real privilege to stay at Lyddington. The cottage is comfortable and well provisioned, the host amiable and the setting something that Capability Brown could have imagined. It was truly a charming and relaxing time"

"The cottage was cozy and comfortable. An easy location to walk to town and when the weather was nice we could sit out front with our happy hour wine and snacks and have a view of the town and harbor. The house was well appointed. It is an historic house, so those who like modern amenities may not be as comfortable. We loved the eclectic decore and charm of the cottage and found it had everything we needed. Plenty of space to spread out and relax. There are lots of stairs, so if you have...

"Very convenient, clean and cosy cottage. "

"Great place to stay while attending a clinic at Scott O'Malley horsemanship, which was based 10 minutes away. Great facilities thank you!"

"We thought the property was delightful, had great ambience, practical, had everything we needed and was conducive to relaxation and peace, romantic getaway. Delightful hide away nestled in Governors Bay. Good base to explore banks peninsular. Just what we needed."

"May have left a jacket in the wardrobe and do not know how to contact the owner. Will send them a stamped addrressed pack to return it to me. Many thanks"

"Loved the ppty…thanks for sharing. Only small issue was getting the lock box code at the last minute. I would recommend the ppty."

"its what we expected and the owner helpful"

"Cute cottage, easy access and parking. Lovely new kitchen and bathroom. Overall cottage needs some maintenance work e.g. one of the bedroom doors didn’t shut, the second bedroom is quite small for two beds. The grounds could do with a bit of work as well. "

"Not only is Blackbird well designed it is nicely decorated. Although not a large cottage it was cozy and met our needs."

"Beautiful country home, easy check in, great price. However the innternet is limited"

"Beautiful property but Old and Needing Maintenance. Power went out in kitchen, couldn't find circuit board/fuses. Toilet in master bath quit working, plumber had to be called. Lamp on wall above bed inoperative and loose. Light above sink in master bath is out. Property needs attention before I would recommend. Shame, great location with potential."

"We were unaware it was only 2 bedrooms with 2 double beds... but worked just fine because the boys had sleeping bags on one bed. Dishwasher was not functioning safely with drawers unable to take weight so we chose to hand wash our dishes. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay."

"It was easy access to the accommodation which was spacious and clean. It was simple and we were comfortable. It is in a good location with a bus stop right outside. Frequent buses go to the city center and we could walk to the beach. I highly recommend this little gem."

"Awesome location"

"Parking is super secured, but a bit cramped. The neighborhood looks a bit down and somewhat creepy at late night; trading off with walking distance to the playground, shopping district and variety of bars/restaurants. 2BR equipment is a bit inconvenient: Pots & pans provided are too small for a family. No AC, only 1~2 heater(s) in the living room but not in the bedroom."

"Loved our stay in the hotel the bath was a real highlight! Really clean and it was quieter than I thought being directly next to such a busy junction. Anyway what we found a bit sad was that takeaway in the rooms are kind off not allowed, cause of the smell, that’s what we got from the info in the room, that was a bit sad as it was really rainy and we had our dinner in the car which was not really as we thought it would be and was not really romantic. As I do housekeeping myself in hotels 4*...
