This accommodation was the most affordable one we booked on our trip, so we were slightly skeptical before getting there -- but we really worried for no reason at all: the room (incl. bathroom and access to a shared utility room and kitchen) is very nice, comfortable, and super clean, with an absolute attention to detail; you get a lot more than you pay for. The room is hosted by a beautiful and kind family with a beautiful home. Communication was easy and friendly, the welcome was very nice. We liked Christchurch a lot and the flat's location (on a quiet street with very nice houses and gardens) even more. Would always come again and recommend staying to anyone.

This motel was one of the nicest motels we have stayed at. The view was amazing and the easy chairs very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

The location was perfect. The hosts were friendly. The studio room had all we required for our stay. It was great to have the option of real coffee supplied for the coffee press. We had dinner Coriander, Indian restaurant, which was great. There were other recommended restaurants as well. We like the bakery and visited the Fresh Choice and a few other shops. We were in Sumner for a wedding, but it is a nice spot for a few days getaway.

Very beautiful and stylish layout, especially the dining area. The host family must be real artists! Really like their taste of the beddings. And the room is so warm that we were sweating at night!

This place is within a comfortable walking distance from both the airport and several budget friendly car hire places, with a self check in process that meant I could check in at 2AM without causing any bother. The room is immaculately clean and comfortable, and the bed in the room is perhaps (not kidding) one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. There’s even a kitchen with free tea, coffee and bread. This place truly is a homestay, and a brilliant one at that. Steven is a friendly guy.

No breakfast but lovely hosts with very comfortable bed, a small lounge and bathroom. Warm, and inviting. Hosts have a small dog who has his own delightful happy personality. Easy to praise the hosts and the accommodation. The accommodation is situated in a relatively new subdivision of quality homes.
