Garden Studio with ocean views

TraceyRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Kate and Johnny were perfect hosts. Let us be but always instantly available. They have lots of knowledge of the area. Very friendly and welcoming. We appreciated fresh bread, fruit and spreads for breakfast. Quiet and picturesque setting from our deck and in the spa looking down over the beach. Walkable distance into town albeit a steep but manageable path. Bed was super comfy. We weren’t doing activities in CBD but driving around all areas east. Thank you both. We will recommend.

Elegant Coastal Escape with Pool and Harbour Views

MichelleRating, 5 stars3 months ago

What a beautiful home in a unique location. Our three generations gathered from three countries for a lovely 5 days together in Christchurch. The views from all levels of this home are over the top. With high end cookware, two dishwashers and (my personal favorite and usual airbnb pet peeve) sharp knives, we grilled and gathered for “dinners in” every night instead of going out. Great access to governors bay pier and coffee/pizza just a short walk away. Loved this place so much and would return in a heartbeat.

Gem of a Kiwi Bach!

KristiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This place is the definition of a classic Kiwi bach — no frills, but absolutely unbeatable when it comes to the view. Waking up to the sunrise over Taylor’s Mistake was next level. The walking track literally starts at the back door, and it’s just a short drive to Sumner with great cafes and a beautiful beach. We’d read a lot of reviews about the access being tricky and not to bring big bags, but honestly, it was totally fine — I think I was expecting something way more intense, so it felt easy! The directions and photos were spot-on, and even though we arrived at 9:30pm in the dark, we found it with no issues… then woke up to that stunning view. Magic. Laura was also a fantastic host — we booked super last minute (just a few hours before arriving!) and she got in touch straight away to make sure we had everything we needed. If you’re after luxury, this isn’t it — but if you want a real-deal, relaxed Kiwi getaway with a view that seriously delivers, you’ve found the spot.

Oceanview Luxury 3BR Family Retreat

CharlotteRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Yvonne was an amazing host! We were kindly offered early check in and late check out! The house is stunningly decorated/renovated. The views are awesome. As I was travelling for work I really appreciated having a dual screen setup I could plug into with a wireless mouse and keyboard with a docking station. Smart TV meant we could watch our usual shows. The two heat pumps did a great job of keeping us warm on a miserable day, and the wall heaters in the bedrooms took the edge off any cold night temps. I’d highly recommend anyone stay here - be it for work or family time, it’s well kitted out for both!
