Hosts were lovely. Really nice room in quiet suburb. Could have easily stayed longer.

5 star B&B. Excellent choice breakfast. It would put a lot of hotels to shame, Highly recommend it.

Sehr hübsches Zimmer mit großem Bad. Geschmackvoll eingerichtet und gemütlich, vor dem Zimmer eine kleine Terasse mit Tisch und Stühlen, rundum Hochbeete mit Gemüse und Blumen. Sehr nette Vermieterin, die uns alles zeigte. Das Frühstück war zum Selbermachen vorbereitet und ausgezeichnet. Vielen Dank!

Très bon accueil par Joy. L’emplacement était agréable et tranquille. Bon petit déjeuner.

Joy is a wonderful host and the accomodation was excellent in all respects. Breakfast is continental which suited us perfectly and was left in the room the night before. The apartment is only a few minutes walk from a local pub which I would alos recommend.and. 20 mins to drive to the airport at 08:00 am. The area is a quiet upmarket residential, area and beautifully maintained. I would have no hesitation in recommending that you stay there.

Our hosts were super helpful and accommodating - they went above and beyond. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Excellent value.

Joy and Norman, the hosts, are lovely people. The welcome was warm and everything was prepared perfectly. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was extraordinarily clean and had both a shower and a separate bathtub. The breakfast was also very tasty, I enjoyed at the patio with a gorgeous garden around me.

Timely communication prior to arrival. Friendly greeting and explained facilities. Warm and comfortable home away from home. Relaxing and amazing breakfast. Wife and I couldn’t fault the room. Book now, you won’t be disappointed.

Our booking was for one night. Wish we had booked for a longer stay.

Perhaps the best place they stayed in after traveling around New Zealand for four weeks! A very kind host, extremely spacious room and bathrooms, private parking, a clean and designer apartment, and a fantastic garden. Quiet location. Everything was top-notch!

A lovely warm welcome, friendly helpful host and clean, comfortable, smart facilities.

Überaus freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Das Frühstück war sehr ausgewogen und schmeckte prima. Die zusätzlichen Aufmerksamkeiten, wie die Bereitstellung von Tee, Kaffee Milch, Obst, etc. waren sehr erfreulich. Auch die guten Ratschläge bezüglich der Gastronomie in der Nähe waren zu unserer vollen Zufriedenheit.

First time for us staying at a B&B so wasn't sure what to expect, we were made to feel very welcome from our friendly host, was lovely and comfortable and warm on a cold weekend, great value for money

Great location. Easy to get to off main SH1. Lovely space. Very luxurious. Helpful, friendly owners. Lovely breakfast provided. Short drive into Kaiapoi

This was a lovely peaceful haven in the suburbs, with Joy making sure I was comfortable. Spacious bedroom and bathroom with a wonderful bath which felt luxurious. I fully recommend and I will come back next time I'm visiting Kaiapoi.

Everything!! The place was beautiful, the bed and linen were fabulous, the bath was fantastic! I had one every night. The breakfast was delicious, but the care from Joy was by far the best part of the experience. I got sick while I was there, and Joy made me homemade lemon, honey, and ginger drinks, and even offered to make me dinner. She was so kind and caring. I have already rebooked to stay again. Can't wait!

Nothing

Breakfast choice of cereals and homemade jams were excellent and tasty

There wasn't anything that we didn't like or enjoy

Joy and Norman were very welcoming even though I came in the late evening. Very homely and comfortable.

I had a job to identify the house. It was dark and raining. Maybe a small plaque (with a solar light),near the verge rather than on the house would help. I could only see the one on the house when I was driving on the drive. Thankyou.

The host was very friendly, helpful and personable

What a fabulous place, so many extra touches to make it an exceptionally enjoyable time. Welcomed with a cup of tea, fruit and baking in the room, very generous breakfast with fruit from the garden. Clean, fresh, private and oh so comfortable. Thanks Joy and Norm. The scale of 1-10 is not enough. I give it 13

Joy and Norman are such wonderful hosts, and their house is absolutely beautiful. They are incredibly welcoming. The place is super clean and cozy, and we loved all the thoughtful details. For us, it was even better than staying in a 5-star hotel. It was a fantastic stay between Kaikoura and Lake Tekapo. We loved it!
