Great place, very welcoming. Reception gave a map to help us plan our trip south the next day which was very useful. Oh, and within walking distance of penguin nesting across the park.

Stayed overnight and it was wonderful. Jenny & Ken were so welcoming and friendly offering us great choices for dining in town. Our room was lovely & airy with fantastic views of the garden area. Two beautiful cats and a dog made it so homely. The amenities in our room were great and very clean and the scrumptious cooked breakfast served up by Ken topped our stay there. Highly recommend +++

Beautiful very spacious very large living and bedrooms. We slept like a baby and it was a self sufficient stay with a proper kitchen, milk stocked, coffee etc. etc. The TV were a bit outdated as they weren't connected to the Internet which could have been better but overall, fantastic property and a great overnight stayer if you are heading to Christchurch to catch a plane or have arrived in the evening at Christchurch and are heading to an alpine retreat
