Book a Tai Tapu 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 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."

"This bungalow/cottage was spacious, clean, easy to find and felt pretty luxurious to us. Wonderful!"

"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!"

"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"

"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."

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

"Had an amazing stay surprised my partner with a weekend away/ birthday gift. She absolutely loved it. "

"Magnificent view form the balcony, living room and lounge. Trees were lovely and full of birds."

"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."

"Stunning cottage with every amenity. Close to everything in Akaroa. We enjoyed a four night stay, and were very sad to leave!"

"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."

"Love everything about this property! Great view and we felt at home! It was a great way to finish our holiday in NZ!!!!"

"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."

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

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

"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."

"A very well designed and equipped kiwi bach Stunning views Cozy fire Awesome night sky"

"Great place to stay. Everything was literally within 2min walk. Shops, chemist, cafe etc. staff were great and rooms were very comfy. Our new accommodation now every time we will visit home. "

"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."

"Awesome location"
