We stayed in the garden cottage which was delightful. It was so comfortable and well-equipped. We loved having a cozy place to relax in the evening and the bed was extremely comfortable. Jane is a wonderful host and as others have mentioned, the breakfast is amazing. We really enjoyed chatting with Jane during breakfast and followed her advice to take the tourist drive on our trip at back to Christchurch.

United States1 review“A treat!”This was the prettiest bed and breakfast we ever stayed at. Our host was incredible. She made a delicious breakfast that reminded us of Christmas morning but better. If anyone is debating on staying here you 100000% should. You will not regret it. The gardens are immaculate and you can watch the sun set from the main room. It’s perfect!
