Welcoming hosts, quick response to email enquiry via contact host service. Lovely bathroom. Short distance from the shore and a short walk to some lovely swimming beaches.

A gem of a place

A gorgeous place to stay. Warm, clean, modern, and stylishly decorated. Lovely breakfast provided too. Very handy to Lyttleton and an easy drive into Christchurch city. Will definitely stay again next time we're in the area.

Lovely Spot

The location is great - the walks from the retreat were lovely. Overall the place was clean but no pillow protectors were used which is not hygienic, there was no cover over the mattress base, and the sheets were thin and didn't quite cover the mattress - I think they are just too small. We were a bit surprised to find this as the photos looked great. The tiny fan heater was the only heating supplied, so the room stayed quite cold. We didn't receive any instructions for check in so we sent the owner a few messages throughout the day with our updated arrival time- on text and through bookabach, but didn't get a response. We arrived at night and nobody was home - everything was locked up and we had no keys. We sent another message through the app then finally got in touch with the owner and were given the lock box code.

Overnight stay

We stayed one night here while in chch doing errands. It was clean, tidy, and warm. Lovely bath which was a real treat! This place was perfect for somewhere to crash. Lovely area with the pretty bay and boats.
