Great experience. Paul and Laila made us feel at home. Interacting with the whole family was fun. They're a great crew who enjoyed welcoming us in and helping us with whatever we needed. Nice atmosphere and I'd certainly stay again.

Charming and really delightful accommodation. We were made to feel very welcome and our hosts were very attentive. Fabulous setting

Paul and Laila are great hosts. It was really interesting hearing about their family and good ideas for travel. The room was very clean and excellent wi-fi. A quiet retreat close to the main road and avoiding the crowds of Christchurch.

Paul and Laila's home provides easy access to the guest room. They were exceedingly friendly and provided us with great restaurant recommendations. The yogurt and home-made meusli were delicious in the morning. A great place to stay outside of Christchurch on the way to Kaikoura.

Paul and Laila were so welcoming and immediately made us feel at home after a long day of driving and whale watching! Our bedroom and en-suite bathroom were very comfortable and had everything we might need. We had our own private entrance and tv, plus tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Paul served us breakfast with his own homemade muesli, which was delicious, and contained their own homegrown walnuts. Our hosts had loads of helpful advice on places to go and some interesting stories to tell over breakfast. A lovely home in gorgeous grounds, ideally suited for many things, but for us a great starting point for driving over Arthur's Pass to the West Coast. Thank you both very much for a great stay!

We stayed at Paul and Laila for one night and we absloutely loved the stay! It was perfectly placed on our way to Keikura. The apartment was very nicely equiped and Paul waited for us to come although we were very late. We enjoyed the morning with a lovely breakfast and interesting chat with Paul. I can only recommend the accomodation as I really loved the place we stayed in including the family of Paul.

We stayed for only one night due to travels to Kaikoura. We highly recommend this place. Nice private room with large bathroom and very nice shower. The house has got a big yard to enjoy some sunshine or a nice walk. We used the b&b as a stopover and we found it very convenient.

Habitación perfecta (grande, con calefacción y baño privado) y rodeada de un precioso jardín.. Cama muy confortable y con manta eléctrica, por lo que ante los días de frío te va a venir muy bien. Los anfitriones geniales, te hacen sentir como en casa, con consejos turísticos muy acertados. Conclusión: nosotros os la aconsejamos sin duda alguna.

Great stay. Good bed and bathroom just across passage .excellent. Great host and breakfast. Friendly but not intrusive. Highly recommended.

WOW - what a wonderful place. The hosts were fantastic, great home cooking and very knowledgable of the area. Very comfortable bed, fabulous bathroom with a great shower and plenty of hot water. Loved the idea of being able to walk to the beach. My husband and myself had a fantastic stay and will definitely return in the future.

Nice accommodation with a comfortable Bedroom and a modern Bathroom. Delicious Breakfast with a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

Baerbel & Chris are delightful and very friendly hosts. We really enjoyed our time with them. The accommodation is very comfortable. We had our own ‘wing’ of the house, and although the entrance hallway ran between the guest bedroom and bathroom facilities it wasn’t a problem as the hosts are very quiet, discreet and respectful of our privacy. We were welcomed to share their living and outdoor space and in future will make sure we take an evening out of our travels to stay and enjoy Baerbel's cooking. Her breakfasts are delicious and nutritious, catering to whatever we wanted - so I am sure her dinners will be amazing :-)

Friendly hosts in a modern home, as much privacy or interaction as you could want, with the separate entrance which was important to us. Breakfast was great and a relaxing place to be from start to finish, highly recommend.

非常完美,下次去还会住在这里

女主人是中国姑娘,豪爽热情,我们到达她家时已经很晚,还一直等着我们,车刚开进她家的大院就开门迎接。等我们入住后还给我们每人送来一杯非常棒的红酒,热心的给我们介绍新西兰的情况,给人一种老朋友甚至是走亲戚的感觉。房间里还有准备了各种小点心、糖、茶、胶囊咖啡和第二天的早餐。另外,她家的大House真是非常棒,非常现代的装修风格,空间很大,一个客厅就是我在北京一个家那么大了,落地窗外就是游泳池,再往外是很大很大的草坪。非常美!感谢Lin的招待,非常棒

Our experience was absolutely wonderful. Lin couldn't have been more accommodating and welcoming. We scheduled a stay on short notice after our flight was delayed and got to the property very late. The room was very clean and beautiful! We would definitely stay here again!

Lin's AirBnB was wonderful. Although we didn't arrive until almost midnight Lin had left our beautiful unit open with the lights on. The kitchen and fridge were stocked with all sorts of goodies for breakfast, snacks and light meals including chocolates in the bedroom and a huge bunch of flowers in the kitchen. Thank you Lin, Andy and family for a wonderful week. A car is essential here as it is in a rural area but still very close to Christchurch and other towns. It's the perfect base to explore this part of the South Island.

Lin's apartment is stunning. It's a beautiful apartment attached to their main house with private entrance and facilities. Everything was perfect. Awesome design of the house and perfectly and meticulously organized by Lin. It's the perfect location for when you need to take some time out. We loved every minute of it and would've loved to have stayed for longer!

Property as described, almost rural and very quiet, breakfast choices were plenty and in the room for you to have at your leisure. Beers etc also in fridge for your pleasure at nominal charge - nice touch as were the other little extras. Plenty of heating, spacious rooms (ie bedroom and Kitchen/living room. Facilities to cook if needed. Would recommend for those with own vehicle looking for something rural but not too far from Rangiora township.

Lin is a such warm, friendly and kind host. We really enjoyed our stay at her lovely place, along with Mickey the dog's great company! We loved the beautiful and relaxing surroundings. (We also loved how pet friendly this place is!) P.s The Nespresso machine is awesome.

Lins place is so lovely! Quite a big modern apartment with a pool at the front. Everything in the apartment was well kept and very clean and tidy! Lin was great, we had a wedding nearby and Lin gave us clear instructions and was so accomodating by letting us check in late. We were so happy with the place and only wish we had more time to stay there! Thanks Lin!

这是一个在基督城郊区的大房子,面积很大,还有一大片草地和一些动物,装修简洁清爽,设施齐全,床特别舒服,我们一家人都很喜欢这样的环境,这里很适合多住几天,到机场开车只要30分钟。Lesley是个很有品味的房东,给我们做了营养早餐。

Lesley 的房子是我使用bnb的首单,初次使用软件,Lesley耐心并及时迅速的给予回复及帮助,Lesley的房子也是我们美好的新西兰之行的最后一站,十多天的旅行,就住宿来说,感觉跟房东一起居住的房源更有生趣,都给我们留下了美好和难忘的印象。Lesley夫妇热情大方,随时面对微笑,让我们艳羡的是夫妻俩高品质的生活,薰衣草地、鸡舍、小羊羊、猫咪、房车兜、屋角的钢琴、时尚的厨房、品质较高的家具电器......咖啡、茶、早歺、阳光照射下整洁的大床,还有幸互相了解了下彼此的生活。强烈推荐!性价比超高。

Lesley是一位很有品质的房东,无论是她提供的住所还是她做事的风格,处处可见她的精致、用心和诚意。那天晚上的满天繁星,一轮明月还有早餐自制酸奶、果酱以及茶点,是你无论如何也难以忘怀的!因为共处一座郊区大别墅,厨房是公共区,但是,Lesley与你的距离感让你感觉很舒服,尤其让你很舒服的是她提供给你床具和寝具,会让你旅途的疲劳得到很好的恢复。床具超赞。

房子非常漂亮,房东人很好。细节很梦幻。

Extremely beautiful place. The only thing I didn’t like about this listing is that the pictures doesn’t do justice to the beautiful house. It’s clean and comfortable. The host is really nice and thoughtful!! Everything was perfect. We would have loved to stay longer. It's probably the best accomdation for us in Christchurch. 101% recommended!

Perfect host and perfect spot within 30mins of Christchurch airport and centre, yet in a most beautiful quiet area. Just right after a long flight or for exploring Christchurch.

We enjoyed our stay with Lesley so much. The description is just right: we had a chance to totally relax before our trip to South Island: the bed was so comfy, we had a perfect sleep after our busy trip getting to chch from Auckland, bathroom was very clean and had everything we needed and Lesley is such a lovely host. Would love to stay there again.

The house is enormous. I have never lived a house that is so huge. We were fully relaxed because Lesley is very kind to us. The internet is super fast. It's a quiet place and you can hear cock crow in the morning. If we come to Christchurch, we will choose Lesley's house again.

房子很大很舒适,很完美,房东做的小糕点很好吃。我们会向其他将来基督城旅游的朋友们推荐这个房源的

Maree's place is a wonderful home with everything you would want. So close to town and great communication. We love staying in a family home so this was terrific

This is truly a wonderful home. Everything is in great condition and well cared for by the owners. It is clear that they still use the home. We were greeted with cookies and fresh flowers. If you want a home away from home this is the place for you.

Great space and beautiful home :)

I never see so perfect house! This experience is unique and never forget~ This house is big and comfortable,the host is very nice. By the way, the chocolate is very delicious!

This is. Beautiful home, in a lovely area.

The house was more comfortable then we expected. Everything was top class. Really great place to stay if you just want to relax. The home made cookies were delicious.

Excellent accommodation in quiet friendly neighbourhood

Beautiful beach cottage in a quiet location. Cosy and very pretty. This time of year is very cold but Gabriella supplied plenty of blankets and heaters so the cottage warms up very quickly. Loved the DVD collection too. Thank you for everything

This is exactly as it says it is, as it looks in the pictures, very inviting, comfortable and easy to stay in - I loved being in the living area/room. The view and place to sit at the top of the steps is even more inviting than it looks from the pictures - my last day I managed to sit out in amazing late afternoon winter sun with a glass of wine (kindly left by Gabriella) and a book....until the wonderful view drew me out among the estuary and the dunes with my camera that is!! The apartment is kitted out with most of everything you need (instructions on how to use the fancy shmancy oven thingie would be great tho!!) and Gabriella doesn't seem to stint on anything. Gabriella (I only saw her once when I arrived) was lovely and very welcoming and although I don't think she was there most of the time I don't think you would feel her presence in a bad way at all, even in the summer with the doors open right on to her garden and the end of her house. It all has a great feel to it and I'd have no hesitation in recommending it to (URL HIDDEN) the summer months.

This little blue studio was simply delightful, and I would say I haven't stayed in an Air BnB that has catered for us better, and I've stayed at a few. The layout was great, bed comfy, communication great, although sadly did not meet Gabriella. The offer of a book swap fantastic and indeed took this up, left my just finished book on the bookshelf. Also the share shelf, if it was my last accomodation before returning to oz would have loved to leave my supplies there! Lots of great ideas of where to go, and we ended up visiting Littleton, And were not disappointed, extraordinary place. Highly recommend, a few more days there would have been nice!

Loved it! Really cute, clean, comfortable, private bungalow on the back of Gabriella's property. She's a perfect host and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed, and even some extras. You will need a car if you are staying here. About a 40 minute drive from Christchurch and there is no "town" to speak of at Waikuku Beach. A short drive away are some towns with cafes and grocery stores which is great. Within walking distance from the bungalow - a general store with most things you might need. Snacks, toiletries, sunscreen etc. They do also serve hamburgers and fish & chips but BRING CASH because they don't accept credit cards and there is no ATM nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach was just at the end of the street, about a 5min walk. Really beautiful area with lots of hiking/biking/horse trails. Had a great time, was a perfect place to relax for a couple of days.

Gabrielle was super-informative and prompt to reply, including at 1.30 am when I tried to warn her about a possible tsunami! Clear instructions. Easy access. The cottage had everything I needed. Very well set up. (Grateful for the washing machine!) I'm never sure when a place has foodstuffs - cooking oil, herbs, stuff in fridge - whether or not I can use any, none or some of them. I was a bit surprised by the builders being there but there was no problem at all. Maybe Gabriella mentioned that and I missed it.

A great cottage with lots of personality. Short walk to a long beach. Wonderful, helpful host. Full kitchen. Easy parking. Highly recommend this location!

Gabriella's place is perfect. It was nice and cozy. It was a perfect distance to the beach and it was heaven.

A Hidden Retreat & Yet So Well Located The Host: From the start of our booking enquiry, Gabriella have set a very good impression. When we met her the 1st time, she came across as very cheerful, warm, friendly and very helpful. We knew that she is going to be a fantastic host throughout our stay esp when this is our final stop and she did. Big Thanks Gabriella! The cottage, the sanctuary: It has a car park lot and entrance, providing easy accessibility esp when we have a lot of luggage. There is a beautifully maintained garden with herbs and vegetables that one can pick for the kitchen. Besides, there are outdoor tables, benches & bean bags. We had our breakfast outdoor enjoying the sun and watching the birds. Inside the cottage, we find it tastefully decorated in shades of blue. It is well-sized with a living, dining, kitchen and a bedroom. There is a TV, Bluetooth stereo, extensive collection of DVDs, wide selection of books, complete kitchen incl oven (we love cooking & churning yummylicious meals from this kitchen), cosy sofas for reading, watching TVs or just chill-lax. The Wi-Fi connection is very strong - the best in our entire South Island travel! In the bedroom, we sunk into the cosy bed and were lulled to sleep with the sound of waves and awaken by the melodious sound of birds. The entire cottage is so cosy and peaceful, that it was sometimes hard for us to get out! Then, the surroundings: located almost door steps from the Ashley River mouth and North Pegasus Bay, we explored the place on foot and further with the mountain bikes provided by Gabriella. The Wetlands, Ashleys Spit, Pegasus and Woodend can be reached on foot and/or bikes. A long stretch of uncrowded sandy coastline, sand dunes and variety of birdlife. One can easily spend the entire days here. We had our fruits picnic on the sand dunes watching folks kite surfing! For delicious ice cream/sorbet, we find the 2 Fat Ladies opposite the front of the house is simply irressistible. Just a 3mins walk to get our "daily dose"!! The location: Waikuku is strategically located. From the cottage, it is just a mere 5mins drive to Higway 1, 10mins drive to Inland Scenic Route 72, 15 mins to Rangiora where one can stock up your groceries esp Pak n Save supermarket; 35mins to Christchurch Central; 45mins to Godley Head Beach Park/Dyers Pass Road to Governors Bay (scenic coastal drive & diverse trails) ; +/- 1.5 hours to Hanmer Springs/Cheviot/Gore Bay.

Liz and Nevil were the perfect hosts!! A stunning spacious home! The guest area is the upper level of the home and is very private from the rest of the house, the hosts were very cruisy to get along with and we had some good laughs! Loved my big bedroom and bathroom! There are 2 bedrooms up stairs so could be quite handy for 4 ppl. I also was able to take my small dog which Liz even brought a wee treat for. Fantastic location and very easy to find too.

A stunning spacious home with wonderful hosts. Liz and Neville made us feel very welcome. It is located in a quiet location but still close to all amenities. Highly recommended and will certainly be returning next time we are in the area.

A simply excellent place to stay. Very well appointed, comfortable, a lovely part of town, and a great breakfast. And wonderful, warm friendly hosts.

Liz' place is a ten star rating . Immaculate a gorgeous home with fantastic hospitality the absolute best ! Fantastic quiet up market location Devine bedroom, top class linen roomy bathroom and toilet. Nicer than any top hotel Liz and Neville are warm friendly top hosts marvellous hospitality , lovely people. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful few days at Liz and Nevilles beautiful home, we had the top floor to ourselves for a much needed rest and It was better than any hotel, most comfortable bed with quality linen and lovely touches like chocolates in the room and bath treats were so much appreciated, we will definitely return and recommend to others, thanks so much

Liz & Neville are fantastic hosts- made us feel very welcome & the room was A1 - very clean & comfortable. We will certainly be returning next time we are in the area

Great welcoming family. Thanks for your kind hospitality and definitely a place to stay on the next visit:)

We would highly recommend this property. I booked it on behalf of my parents. Joy and Norman were just delightful hosts, warm and welcoming. There home and hospitality were outstanding. The bedroom and ensuite was impecabbly clean (as was the rest of the house), with a view out to their veggie garden. Bed was really comfortable and linen nice and fresh. My parents only complaint, didn't get to take some homemade bread home with them!

Joy's guest suite is gorgeous. The bed and the ensuite bath are pure 5-star. They are lovely hosts and their home is very clean and peaceful. We were flying out of Christchurch the next morning and it was an easy 20 mins to the airport and saved us from staying in a motel.

Excellent, we extremely enjoyed staying with Georgina, Grant and family. The room and bathroom was outstanding, and we had our best sleep so far in two months of traveling, the bed and pillows were extremely comfy! Georgina also offered to share there dinner with us! The whole family are surf addicts, and told us where the best beaches close by. Where they live, there are lots of lakes to walk around and with a Golf Club within walking distance. I would thoroughly recommend staying with Georgina and wished we could have stayed more days. It's ideal if you are going to Christchurch or traveling on upto Kaikoura. Georgina, Grant and family again many thanks for the hospitality and the Easter hot cross buns with our tea!

Simon的房子非常安静,床也非常的舒服,虽然是有一定年代的老房但设施应有尽有很有家庭氛围,餐厅面对花园,早餐,晚餐时景色宜人,我们非常享受。总之,这是一个性价比最高的适合家庭入住的地方。我们很喜欢。

This is a great place for peace and quite love the country life bunnies included Very comfortable home

We couldn't expect such a huge and cosy house for this price! The absolutely loved to take our breakfast outside on the terrasse, in a very quiet garden. We loved to chill in both living room with netflix and the beds were awesome! There was everything we needed in the kitchen. Simon was very good in communication and allowed us to stay a few hours longer because our flight was late : thank you Simon! We definitively recommend this place for people who would like to have a quiet rest before a flight in Christchurch Airport.

Words can't express just how amazing and awesome this home is. Simon is a fantastic and responsive host who did his absolute upmost to ensure our stay was a good one. The house is beautiful and the surrounding area glorious. It is about 15 minutes drive into Christchurch so a car is recommended, but the peace and quiet is well worth it.

A magical place to relax, so close to Christchurch. The house is warm and inviting, the view from the house is delightful. Spring has arrived around the house in all its glory: We enjoyed the nesting Starlings, the hopping bunnies in the field. 4 teenagers had their best sleep ever in the wonderful beds and are ready to tackle exams which are coming their way soon. Thank you for opening your home to us, Simon.

The house is very well equipped with a good size garden. Children will enjoy the garden with plenty of space and flowers. The house has everything you need for a family holiday . The house is located in the beautiful countryside . Supermarket is just a short drive away. It is also very easy to get to Christchurch with the motorway . Simon is a very good host who responded very quickly to any queries. Overall, the house is fantastic and is surrounded by beautiful countryside . It is the ideal house for a family holiday .Our family had a superb stay in Simon's house.

Simon's beautiful house is perfectly clean Four elegant rooms, Living room, kitchen, laundry room, garden,two showers The house was enough to stay four people I would recommend this house, this house has a beautiful, clean, and good price

Our host made check in easy. The house was wonderful. It had everything a family needs to make their trip to Christchurch easy. The kitchen is very well equipped, beds so comfortable you don't want to get out of them and plenty of space for kids to play inside and out. Just fabulous.

A lovely wee (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) - super tidy and well appointed. Excellent value for money. We even got biscuits & fruit. Love the walk in shower and timber bench with round sink. Was further away from beach than expecting and beds were futons, so very firm.

Another enjoyable stay with a beautiful young family. We were treated like royalty/family. Very accommodating and friendly hosts. We had our own flat and felt comfortable sitting outside in the yard. Quiet area away from big city or busyness but central enough to drive to various tourist areas such as Hanmar Springs, Mt Thomas or Christchurch. Beaches, hikes and bike trails within 5 minute drive or walking distance. Will miss the two little people that brought smiles to our face. We definitely recommend this place

A lovely stay, perfect escape from the rainy weather. Close to city center, and really cozy little cabin. Hot shower and comfy bed! We loved it!

Nice place for nights stay.

The made us feel at home the accommodation was fantastic.Thankyou once again Mark and Judy.

We booked at short notice and were delighted by the prompt response from Judy. On arrival we were welcomed warmly by both Mark and Judy and we chatted a while before we were shown our room. The room itself was pleasant and comfortable. Everything we needed for a one night stay There were some thoughtful touches - bottles of water, chocolates, plenty of charging points, warm and comfortable bed, great bathroom well appointed, breakfast set out for us and delicious.

Loved my stay with Mark and Judy , very caring and considerate, nothing was an issue, even my very early am arrival after getting a bit lost :)

The room and bathroom is great, very homely house and Judy was lovely (Mark was away!) Great location.

Perfect place to stay mid-road trip! The room was just what we needed - clean, comfortable and lots of little extra touches that made it all the more relaxing. Mark and Judy were warm and welcoming and made the stay a very easy and pleasant one!

We really enjoyed our stay at Mark and Judy's place. It is a nice, tidy and cozy place, a place you can call home. Mark ad Judy are really kind, polite and informative hosts with excellent communication. Highly recommended.

Really lovely modern, spacious, clean room with ensuite. Mark and Judy were lovely hosts and made us feel welcome in their large family home.

Mark and Judy were the best hosts we ever had! They made us feel like home/family the moment we came in. The room is better than a hotel room, super clean and a comfortable bed and a huge bathroom for yourself. We would have loved to have more time in nz,just to spend it with those wonderful people. thank you for all you have done for us, we cant wait to see you again in germany or nz:)
