10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
This was an exceptional place to stay nestled away from the business of the city but only a 20 minute drive to the center of christchurch. The cottage was clean and tidy with everything you need for a relaxing get away. The bed was very comfortable. I will highly recommend this beautiful accomodation to anyone staying in christchurch.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Everything about my stay was wonderful. The place was very easy to find and to get into from the clear instructions. There were snacks, drinks in the fridge and hot drinks. The TV had Netflix, Prime and Disney. Plenty of utensils and lots of spares ( batteries etc). All living arrangements comfy - bedroom, bathroom and lounge. Robes available. Hosts, Matt and Bev were in contact if needed. The property is very private. Overall my stay was perfect.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
Stayed alone in the cottage - completely private and peaceful. Several kilometres away from town. Very rural peaceful. All amenities included.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2025
One of the cleanest holiday homes / rentals I have stayed in. Hosts were very clear with communication and made the self-check in and out easy. Kitchen well-stocked with pots and pans, cutlery, crockery etc. Netflix available via an account already set-up on the TV, which was great. Italian restaurant directly over the road that opens for dinner is lovely.The only issue I had was road and wind noise - the road is quiet but anything that does go past you definitely know about, alongside the large trees making a bit of sound when they sway in the wind. Easily fixed with a pair of earplugs when going to sleep.I would stay again!
