Beautiful property and loved seeing the deer outside our window. The room itself was a 10+. Bed was super comfortable and the shower was wonderful. As excellent as the property was the staff and food were really the standouts. From being greater by the staff at our car when we arrived, arranging for a last minute spa treatment, to arranging a Breakfast box when we left at 4:45am to head off to our Dolphin encounter the staff was amazing. Both the included Breakfast and Dinner were Fabulous! Wish we had time to try lunch as well. Definitely on our list when we visit again and would stay longer.

Tracy and Tony were so friendly and down to earth for our stay. My 4.5yr old and I traveled to Hanmer Spring on the Hanmer Connection bus from Christchurch. It's a 25min walk from the village with beautiful scenery of the forest on the way. You can also ask for a pick-up at a charge, so if you want to be closer to nature with amazing dark sky for astrophotography and stargazing, then this is place for you! The room was clean and warm with 2 heaters keeping us warm during winter. Wifi was $5 for 10GB/24hrs or a few other plans, fast and affordable.

Christchurch is a pretty and vibrant city, still undergoing significant changes after the earthquake. It has plenty of character and charm, and really easy to walk around the inner-city. It is the gateway to some fantastic scenic beauty from coastline to mountain ranges, sweeping flat farmland, and beautiful rivers. I was here for work, and I opted to stay in the city, where a great selection of meal varieties, within easy walking distance. And travel to outlying areas was easy, with good navigational apps. There is still a lot of infrastructure being rebuilt, so in coming years Christchurch will only get better. Went to the new One NZ Stadium, which was mind-blowing. The only thing that would make this better would be to see the All Blacks beating the Springboks there.

Relaxing Chinese place. Nice walking path by the lake and up the hill. Great views. Expensive shops. Nice drive by the lake (if the farm gates are open) - over 40km to the river crossing, with great views. "Dark sky" - not very dark thanks to shops, eateries, etc.

A beautiful seaside town.

A beautiful seaside town. Looking across the ocean is the snow capped mountains, so pretty. It is a lovely walk along the beach front, lovely cafes and restaurants. The stoney beach was hard to walk on & the water freezing of course, as we come from sandy beaches and warm water. If we had more time we would have gone out on one of the boats to do a dolphin or whale encounter. The bus ride all the way to Christchurch was a beautiful drive and spotted fur seals along the way

Fairlie is a lovely village with helpful and friendly locals. The Fairlie Bakery makes yummy pies and apple turnovers. The local 4 Square supermarket has all your needs, and the staff were so very nice. We had many beers at the Top Pub, and the locals didn't seem to mind our large extended family commandeering the back table and the pool table; lovely Ness the publican, even gave the younger family members some hints on holding the pool que. A walk to the river and ice-skating rink will reveal some revegetation underway. Once the rain cleared the view of the snow-capped mountains was spectacular!
