They were very kind to me. I was staying alone, but the room was spacious and comfortable. The toilet and bathroom are shared, so if you don't mind that, I recommend it.

Friendly and welcoming host. Very accommodating and good at providing interesting things to see and do in the area. Lovely, peaceful garden perfect for relaxing after a full day exploring Christchurch. All in all, a great place to stay while visiting Christchurch.

I'm sorry to say this was our only disappointing accommodation on a 3 week tour. Ok we booked some stunning places at a higher cost but we also did 3 BNB's at an identical price which were far better. The neighbourhood is not the best but perfectly safe and accessible by bus from the airport. On arrival no reply and no reply to phone number quoted on door. Room sleepable but very basic with lock combo on door. Hosts really friendly. Breakfast with all other guests in a big room which was a good experience but had to keep asking for more items which we have NEVER done......and they ran out of Yoghurt!!?? Kitchen facilities very basic. Room/bed not made up.Sorry to criticise the place. Its ok but nothing more.

Enjoyed the stay. The owners were good with information about christchurch. Bath was nice. A few more room details ie. Water jug and glass would be appreciated. The social breakfast was a highlight. Recommend
