    Everything was perfect!

    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.

    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!

Highly recommended!

    We had the most wonderful stay at L'Abri Bed and Breakfast! The accommodation was absolutely beautiful, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The gardens were a true highlight, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting to relax and unwind. Jane went above and beyond, ensuring that we had everything we needed and making us feel incredibly comfortable throughout our stay. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a variety of fresh, homemade options that set the perfect tone for the day. L'Abri truly embodies the essence of hospitality, and I cannot recommend it enough!
