Garden Studio with ocean views

TraceyRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Kate and Johnny were perfect hosts. Let us be but always instantly available. They have lots of knowledge of the area. Very friendly and welcoming. We appreciated fresh bread, fruit and spreads for breakfast. Quiet and picturesque setting from our deck and in the spa looking down over the beach. Walkable distance into town albeit a steep but manageable path. Bed was super comfy. We weren’t doing activities in CBD but driving around all areas east. Thank you both. We will recommend.

A serene bedroom is highlighted by a textured wood-paneled wall, adorned with soft lighting fixtures on either side. A spacious bed with neutral-toned pillows is paired with two simple bedside tables. A light quilt lies loosely on the bed, contributing to the calming atmosphere.

Five Acre Farm - The Cabin

BeruRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Brie's place is seriously a gem. Waking up opening the door overlooking the balcony to the backyard farm was quite spectacular for a city guy. Everything is clean and perfect. The design of the interior makes it feel like home. I find that just by looking both outside and inside the house, brings a certain calm and peace. This is the where the value lies. It's also just the right distance to go to town (by car). And the apples in front, is really sweet and fragrant, almost like a perfume. We took one and ate it, it was amazing. I wish I knew it sooner so that it can be our breakfast (if allowed by Brie, ofc). To put it simply, it's the best blend of nature and modern. Seamless transition between inside and outside. This is one of the best place I've ever stayed on.

Under the Yellow Canopy, Mt Pleasant, Christchurch

BernieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a lovely time at Lynette & Ken’s house. We had all the privacy one could want and Lynette & Ken were quick with their communications and really helpful. They are lovely helpful people who made a real effort to connect if we reached out. The bed was SO comfortable, with nice sheets and good pillows. The bathroom is top spec, better than 5 star motels in the quality of materials. The kitchen had everything we needed. The TV was easy to use. We appreciated all the local area recommendations. Fantastic generous hosts, we’d stay here again without hesitation. Thanks Lynette and Ken!
