Summary: Fantastic hosts. Great area. Lovely and quiet
Judy D. Feb 20, 2025 10:06:41 AM
Summary: Good sized living space with everything you need to stay. Beds really comfortable as were pillows.Very bright and airy with 3 sitting patios, 2 looking out to the beautiful gardens and meadows.Marcia and Gerard were wonderful hosts. We highly recommend their VRBO
Lynn M. Jan 31, 2025 03:03:38 PM
Summary: Lovely comfortable accommodation with gardens, tennis court and a small lake. Plenty of room indoors and with outdoor areas to relax and catch up with family. Hosts were available if required but kept to themselves. We had a car and found it close to, or easy to access, everything we needed or wanted to visit.
Wayne M. Nov 24, 2024 03:25:02 PM
Summary: It was a last minute panic because another host let me down. Marcia was so sympathetic and welcoming. It was the perfect place to stay
Peter C. Apr 12, 2024 07:12:03 PM
Summary: Friendly and respectful hosts. A nice quiet spot. Private and homely. Set up well for a short or longer stay.
Jeff K. Mar 29, 2024 10:50:45 AM
Summary: We spent four nights in the Olive Grove cottage. It made a great base for our stay - it's only a short drive to major shops, but when you get back you can relax with views out to the gardens and olive grove. Marcia was a great host, very responsive (and we loved the fruit!).
Thomas N. Feb 7, 2024 02:43:18 AM
Summary: Great for four adults, close to town
Graeme O. Jan 15, 2024 04:33:30 PM
Summary: We enjoyed our stay for 12 nights. It is a quiet location close to Christchurch and within a short drive to the Port Hills for walks, Halswell Quarry walks, Orana Wildlife Park, Willowbank Wild Life Reserve, etc, etc. All great places for families seeking outdoor activities not too far from the stay. You can enjoy just relaxing at the very clean facilities, a short walk through the olive gove or play tennis. A very enjoyable place to stay.
Lorna Y. Nov 23, 2023 11:41:42 AM
Summary: The Owners of this property had excellent communication skills. ALthough this property is older it has double glazing to ensure you have a peaceful stay. It has the Owners house nearby however it is set up in such a way that you have your own private seating areas. Black out curtains, a comfortable bed with excellent pillows and a large area to stroll around close to the city and yet it appears a long way away, make this property ideal.
Shanaz N. Jan 30, 2023 07:00:02 PM
Summary: Very spacious with all the amenities we needed. Close to Christchurch city centre. Large section for morning walk. Love to come back. Lovely host.
