The room was extremely clean, more than big enough for the two of us and the hosts were extremely nice and down to earth. Great location with exceptional views of the amazing Kaikoura coastline and nearby Kaikoura mountain range. Added bonus for me was that the room has Sky Sport which was brilliant to watch a couple of Rugby World Cup games on. The hosts also recommended a couple of restaurants for us to go to, and these were amazing too!

Perfect location to explore schools and access to city centre; very quiet; the loft design made it feel much more spacious for 2 adults and 1 child on a 4 night stay (the extra bed for our daughter actually made it more homely); very comfortable beds and linen, clean, lovely warm in winter, Netflix, handy kitchenette; and good sized bathroom. Friendly staff.

this hotel had every home comfort you cold imagine, the spa bath was amazing and the welcome on arrival second to none. a privately owned boutique hotel with great facilities and close walking distance to all the hammer restaurants and bars as well as the springs just across the road. lovely towels were provided by the owners to take into the spring and this saves you a few dollars, the owners were amazing and their attention to detail was fantastic

Beautiful boutique style hotel and gorgeous room, situated right on top of a tram stop! Quiet part of Christchurch. Walking distance to cute New Regent Street, lovely OGB bar across the road, amazing street art, Cathedral redevelopment and eventually the car hire for our road trip. Charismatic and super helpful hotel concierge.

Beautifully designed development in attractive natural landscaping set high over the town, but only about a five minute drive into town. Well equipped and very comfortable studio apartment with lovely modern bathroom. Deka and Wayne are charming hosts.

Stunning location - easy access to the whole Lake Tekapo village - very impressive architecture & design of apartments. Beware that its a very spread out resort & you mostly need to drive from reception to your apartment. Nice buffet breakfast.
