Bramley's Stables and Accommodation

Bramley's Stables Accommodation is a really fun and memorable place to stay. We absolutely loved it. Arriving after dark, we had little idea of what to expect, but when we woke up the next morning, it felt as though we were on the set of a Western movie. We were visiting family for the weekend, and it was perfect for our needs. The accommodation was much larger than we expected and very cosy. Although it could be cold in winter, the hosts had thought of everything. The heaters were already on, the log fire was roaring when we arrived, and the whole place was wonderfully warm and welcoming. A unique, comfortable stay that we would happily recommend.

We have stayed here before and are never disappointed. Brendan and Lois are wonderful hosts who do everything they can to make sure you are well looked after. The fresh farm eggs are always such a treat. The accommodation is equipped with everything you could need and more. The location is perfect — peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning again.

Was greeted by Friendly helpful host and the room was nice and toasty, quiet location really enjoyed our stay would recommend.

Excellent hosts, friendly, accommodating, great tips for local area, farm fresh eggs for the duration of stay. Its a home away from home with everything at your disposal. Loved my stay.

A peaceful rural setting

Some further instructions on how to watch free TV, as an alternative option to logging on to personal services (e.g. Netflix, etc) would have been useful.

Everything was amazing! The hosts were superb, the horses so cute and really friendly and there were bunnies 😍

Absolutely nothing it was perfect!

Beautiful property in the countryside but only 5 minutes to buy groceries or restaurant Our unit was very large well equipped very clean beautiful decor

Nothing

The everhot hob was fantastic as were the hosts. Loved the accommodations and surroundings. Would definitely recommend and book again if ever back in this part of the world!

Zero dislikes

Great location for us, between Rangiora & Kaipoi. Large parking area, unique and cosy accommodation with plenty of space. Wood fire & Everhot stove for heating. Great kitchen with the added bonus of farm eggs included

Bramley's is the ideal place to stay for anyone visiting Rangiora or the region north of Christchurch. The accommodation is private, peaceful, comfortable, cosy and clean, and the hosts friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Everything was good

Welcoming hosts, a separate building on their farm so very private and quiet. The kitchen is well equipped - I cooked my own meals and everything I could need was there. So lovely to have a fire the first night when it was a bit cool. Other heaters also available. Water is from an artesian well on the property so clean and beautiful. Comfortable, clean and a lovely outlook over their farm. A lovely walk down the manicured drive along a beautiful tree lined river. Very handy to so many Canterbury locations but felt like a million miles away.

The lighting in the bathroom for doing make-up!

Very unique. Spacious. Well equipped beautiful property. Very lovely host.

Friendly welcome, nice and clean with all facilities as listed.

Lovely location set amongst old restored buildings and open spaces with horses and cattle near by

Maybe a bigger tv but nit picking here 😁

Friðsælt, skemmtileg staðsetning, góð aðstaða til eldurnar og þvotta, þægilegt rúm og sjarmerandi innréttingar.

Absolutely superb.

Large kitchen with everything, great hosts and superb property. Fireplace kept us toasty warm. So much room and thoughtful touches. Even the bedside clock was set on the correct time. This is an amazing place to stay. Thank you Lois and Brendan.

Absolutely nothing!

It was a very chilly day the day we arrived and the hosts had already lit the fire so the accommodation was lovely and warm. Very much appreciated.

We arrived to find the wood burner going which is magic on a cold day.

Nothing

Superb location and accommodation.

Great spot away from the hustle and bustle. Welcoming hosts, fresh eggs, cozy and well equipped unit. Will stay again when in Christchurch.

Lovely peaceful location,. Washing machine and outdoor clothes line. Really warm and cosy, Very comfortable bed.

Not really a problem but the bedside lights were incredibly bright.

Beautiful very large accommodation with lovely grounds in a quite country area. The kitchen was stunning with modern equipment, everything you would need, just as stated. The bed was very comfortable, nice lighting throughout and lovely decor. A good bathroom and shower plus a second toilet in its own room. Parking was right outside in another large area. Lovely owner, very helpful.

Nothing.

After a long flight from London it was just fantastic to arrive and find the wood burner going and the room cosy and warm

Not much

Quietness

We think that in summer needs a ceiling fan or A/C other than this a great place

Welcoming hosts, well equiped and perfect for our long stay. Peaceful and quiet location with great access. Would book again if the opportunity comes up.

Fantastic location and great hosts. Lois and Brendon went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond when we were out one day and it rained.They had our washing on the bed when we got home, especially appreciated as we flew out the next day. We will definitely return.

Nothing

We absolutely loved this place - spacious, comfortable, beautifully set out and decorated including a cosy log burner fired up and ready for arrival. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and the accommodation was ideally situated away from the main town centre but easy to find and not far off the main route, within easy reach of restaurants, supermarkets and attractions - perfectly peaceful and relaxing. Would and should have stayed longer - a real gem :)

It was perfect :)

We loved the location in the countryside which was very quiet. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Although we were both away quite a bit in the daytime during our 3 day stay, there was plenty of space when we did spend time just hanging around there, and it was very private. There was lots to explore in the area with great walking and bike tracks nearby and a lovely farmers market not too far away every Friday morning.

We pretty much liked everything though we do like a brighter light in the bathroom as we get older!

Just about everything.

My wife thought that the bed could have been more comfortable.

Perfect location to spend your first night after a long flight into Christchurch. The Stables is completely fitted with all your needs down to fresh eggs for breakfast.

I don't know how you could make it better

Everything. Breakfast was included, comfortable bed, beautiful linen, great shower, stunning outlook

No wifi

Very comfortable bed, pillows and sofa. Full kitchen. Lots of character. Very quiet, slept so well!

Everything. It's our home away from home. We will be back again 😊❤️

Nothing

Rural setting is perfect for us quiet and stunning outlook.

Nothing I didn't like

Stunning location suits me perfectly. Well maintained. Heating system is amazing as is the hospitality. Thansk for lighting the fire every night.

It’s a very cool place and I would go back one day. It looks like it’s on a horse farm and has a western feel to it.

The breakfast was a bit light weight. Eggs, toast and jam (diy). And this is great for some folks but I like a bit more than an egg.

Peaceful and very cosy. Loved the fire, and super comfy bed.

Looking for a quiet place, this one was very good. Well off the main roads, quiet surrounds, log fire, warm, very good kitchen, comfortable bed.

We travelled in vintage car so unfortunately arrive in the dark and left very early to attend a rally start Would have like to have been able to look around. Everything was great. Especially the fireplace. Would be a good place to spend a few days while exploring the district. Communications were great too

This was such an unexpected pleasure. On the side of the barn, this studio apartment was superb. Beautifully appointed with extra high ceilings and two toilets. The Aga type oven which was set on low for a cosy feel.

Nothing!

Amazing room!! Beautifully decorated, awesome shower- host was very welcoming and hospitable. Loved my stay.

Brilliant country location great owners I just love the place. I will not stay anywhere else when I am in Christchurch. A +++++++ in my book.

Nothing

Very unique accommodation within the stables. Extremely relaxing. Horse looking in our window! Living space and bedroom first class with everything you would need.

Can’t really think of anything, no internet but not really a problem.

Place was peaceful and so very cute. The owner met us at the door and was very friendly. Fresh farm eggs and bread were offered for breakfast. I will be back.

That we had to leave

Very comfy and spacious lodging, loved petting the horses & farm eggs provided in the kitchen.

Very nicely furnished and well equipped apartment. Lovely hosts. The horses were a bonus!

A means to make real coffee would be great!

I loved horses near by and the place was very quiet.

This is a great farm stay. Very comfortable and thee added litte touches, fresh eggs, bread etc in the fridge make it extra good.

Maybe a brighter light in the bathroom, make shaving easier.

Renovated stables are now available very comfortable air bnb.The rural vista was lovely after a day of travelling. A warm welcome and good advice on nearby eatery. Close to both Rangiora and Kaiapo.

GPS gave us the location but property needs a sign at the entrance.

Property very unique and homely

Charm of decore, kitchen and laundry appliances and bathroom we’re exceptional.

A coffee maker and drawers or wardrobe would be improvements.

Lois and Brendan were lovely, the accommodation was excellent, and the horses and cows (and little foal) were an added bonus!

Nothing

Bramleys Stables and Accommodation exceeded our expectations. Lois greeted us making sure everything was in order for a very comfortable and relaxed stay. The cottage was a dream. Well equipped and unique which added to its charm. You will want for nothing. Being able to pat the horses was an extra bonus that we did not expect. Location was perfect for us, just out of town but still close to everything. You cannot top the country side experience and hospitality. We feel very lucky to have found this gem.

We could not fault anything. We did not like that we only had one night at Bramleys Stables.

Brilliant country location. Impressive layout.

It was brilliant

Location was nice and quiet, bed was very comfortable. It felt like home away from home.

Astounded by surroundings and room/s. Service and, consideration excellent. Want to come again. A real haven.

Nothing.

The hosts were awesome, friendly, and accommodating. The little extras in the kitchen made it feel like home. The personal touches and thoughtfulness that has gone into the accommodation are perfect. The property is beautifully kept and in a great location.

Loved the fire and radiator heating system. Owners lit the fire for us to ensure we were cosy and warm. It's a very peaceful, private setting with extra comfy beds.

Nothing to not like, it was perfect

An absolutely awesome place - halfway between Rangiora & Kaipoi so perfect Country feels but close to the towns Owners are friendly and delightful people Supplied fresh eggs for breakfast A converted barn and renovated so beautifully Wood fire kept the place very cosy plus several heaters

Nothing negative no onsite wifi but good cell coverage so it wasn't a bother

It's a lovely quiet location but close to town. Great place, very unique ,wonderful design and decor. A super comfy bed and cozy fire.

Was great having eggs for breakfast, would have liked egg cups. Maybe bread to toast to be fully perfect.

great comfortable accommodation, with friendly hosts.

the only slight downside was that it was slightly drafty on the 2nd morning but that couldn’t be helped due to the weather. It had a fantastic wood burner with plenty of wood if needed and heaters.

Beautiful location and setting of the property. Friendly services and private.

Spacious, well appointed accommodation in a quiet and largely private location

Really enjoyed staying here and will definitely be back. Loved that we were private and felt able to come and go as we needed without affecting anyone else. The bed was comfortable, the room spacious, kitchen excellent. While rural the property is still close to all the places we needed to go.
