I really enjoyed staying here. Its a lovely big room with ensuite and kitchenette. In a beautiful location. The host is a lovely person who made my stay very enjoyable.

This was a great place to stay. Great easy communication with Jill, easy access to the property. Very comfortable spacious room. Nice comfortable bed. The breakfast portions were very generous. There was a well-equipped kitchenette. Very quiet location. Everything I needed was there, with a friendly host. I would happily stay again.

Nothing

It was at a great location with a full scenic view of the city. Jill is a wonderful host with great knowledge of not only the city but also Nee Zealand’s history.

No complains.

Very relaxing, quiet and Jill the host was great

Helpful host. Access to a lounge and dining area.

Jill the owner is very friendly and welcoming. The place was clean, the shower was good, and the double bed was comfortable

The extra single bad was too soft.

De grote ruimte van slaapkamer, badkamer en woonkamer.

Het bed is heel erg zacht. Hierdoor echt slechte nachten gehad.

Catered for my specific needs

Splendid low-hillside location with nice views. 7-minute walk to the nearest bus stop. Includes a spacious living/activity room in addition to the perfectly-sized bedroom with its bright and pleasant private bathroom.

There is nothing not to like about this fine property.

很清潔。屋主很好很和善。

床太小太軟，一個人稍微轉身整個床都震動，不舒服又會弄醒旁邊的人。

Everything was good except the bed which was a bit too bouncy for my like

Well it was a real treat. We wanted a nice b and b with breakfast that was on the hill. It was even more of a pleasant surprise when we found our host, Jill, knew my parents from earlier days. Clean and tidy with opportunity to sit outside with a fantastic view of the new sports stadium. s

Sehr freundliche Inhaberin. Tolle Sicht auf Christchurch

Habe trotz suchen kein Geschäft gefunden. Also rechtzeitig einkaufen.

Jill est une hôte très attentionnée et disponible. Il y a tout le confort dont on a besoin. La chambre, la cuisine et le coin salon/salle à manger (qui est une pièce séparée) ont tous les équipements nécessaires. Dans la chambre il y a un grand dressing et un pose valise bien appréciable. Il y a également un canapé. La salle de bain est très bien agencée. Le coin salon/salle à manger est idéal pour un moment de détente avec livres, DVD et chaînes câblées et frigo à disposition. Les lieux sont très propres. Il y a la place de stationner sa voiture juste devant. Enfin, toutes les pièces ont un chauffage et le lit des couvertures chauffantes. Pour le petit déjeuner Jill propose plusieurs choix en fonction des goûts. Je reviendrais chez Jill sans hésiter.

Perfect for stay and meticulous attention to detail

N/a

This is my 2nd time staying and as previously, I found it suited my needs perfectly. Jill is a very accommodating host. The bed is really comfy, it's a very quiet spot and getting breakfast is a definite bonus!

Location was great, very clean and provided everything I needed.

Nothing

great people good location very clean

simple and homely feel to the house. felt like an air bnb. missed the host in person the whole stay until the last day however communicated with her through messaging =] , the host updated/helped me with everything/my needs and efficient with replying. facilities were great , bathroom very clean.

no washing machine, however the host let me use the washing machine upstairs. (I ended up handwashing because I wasn't sure how to use the washing machine/host was out) not that close to the city centre, however I didnt mind as I had a car.

Fabulous spot. Perfect place for my mum to stay.

Would have liked one more trash can so there was one in the bathroom and in the bedroom as well.

Very clean and great facilities available if needed. Breakfast was lovely and fresh. Room was a good size and parking on site was easy. Good quiet location. Lovely owner.

The bed was a little bit too soft and 'bouncy' than what we are used to, so we woke up a number of times during the night whenever either one of us moved around in the bed which was a little bit unsettling. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location close to the CBD excellent views, quiet

The bed was too soft for elderly people with bad backs!

Everything, clean and very comfortable

Everything was good

Location was ideal

We loved the quiet location and having a space to ourselves. The breakfast came with options and was great. We loved having bicycles to use. Friendly and helpful hosts.

The bed is a double and a little on the soft side. May not suit all travellers.

very comfortable bed, bathroom, seating and space inside and out.

Jill was amazing and great help to settle in and get my bearing for local transport to the town centre and the cricket venue. Bed was really comfy and I had full use of the whole downstairs. Quiet location which suited me and bus service was excellent and easy to work out where you wanted to go

Although not a real problem as I enjoy walking but if you don't have a car it is quite a steep walk from the main road but passing some lovely houses meant it didn't cause me any issues

The area available includes two rooms on the ground floor plus a private bathroom, as well as a space to sit in the garden. The place is very beautiful and green, with a nice view, and the owners are kind and helpful. The room is very comfortable, and the bathroom is nice and clean. There is a small kitchenette in the hallway and a fridge available in the living room.

Maybe the kitchenette is a bit too far from the dining room.

Great continental breakfast provided fresh each day as per my daily order. great city views from the garden. Nice quiet location with SKY TV access when I wanted to relax and watch some sport!

It would be nice to have a small table/chair in the bedroom - possibly in place of the sofa bed?

Breakfast was generous and exactly what I wanted. A peaceful, quiet location conveniently located to the event I was attending. Jill was a friendly and thoughtful host who is clearly offering visitors to Christchurch a comfortable and enjoyable experience because she likes meeting people and sharing her lovely home. The new stadium currently under construction is less than 6k from Whaka Heights. Catch a peek from the garden.

Can't think of a thing.

Jill was a very welcoming host & did all she could to make my overnight stay comfortable

Very friendly people, very private location, no real traffic noise and plenty of shops and eateries within walking distance made this a very convenient place to stay. Comfy bed and great facilities

The bed was comfortable, there were good facilities and excellent shower pressure. Soft toilet paper as well. Jill was a friendly and accommodating host.

Comfortable bed and super soft pillows. Superb lounge area available with lots to keep you amused e.g., books and games. Breakfast included was a great bonus, with generous servings. Lovely, quiet, residential location on the hill, with a view you don't normally get when staying down on the flat. Has it's own entry/exit. Jill is a very welcoming host.

Perfect place, absolutely recommend this place. The owner is very nice and helpful. The room is so clean and tidy. Bed is so comfortable. Room is well equiped. There is everything that you need to stay.

Had a great stay here while visiting Christchurch over Easter weekend. Very clean, comfortable and a huge amount of space, with all the amenities you need and then some. Breakfast was great too. Jill is a fantastic host and very friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommended!

Lovely big room and a lounge with a tv if needed. Plus breakfast. Parking for car

Probably the distance from the city but I had a car so it wasn't too bad

Comfortable stay and clean, accomodating

Hosts stay upstairs and I had some difficulties getting into the place on arrival (I knocked on the front door and pressed the door bell a few times, but no one answered, so future guests may benefit from instructions on what to do on arrival)

Jill was very welcoming and accommodated for everything I needed. It was a perfect option for me. It was very clean, cosy and modern.

Very nice people and very clean

So nice big ! Clean and good room ~ I am very happy to stay there ! The owner is sooo nice , I quite happy to have sooo big room and relaxing living room too ~ breakfast is nice ! Tea is very good quality ~ very comfortable bed and many nice pillows and quiet area :)

Every is amazing

I enjoyed the privacy of an ensuite and lounge area as part of the stay. Wifi access was good. The hostess, Jill, is very nice and accommodating. Private access to the facility was an extra benefit.

Breakfast was basic but adequate

Bed is a little soft - This is basically my only criticism

The owners were so welcoming and the room was so comfortable

I liked the appearance, attractiveness and cleanliness. Every possible thing I would have needed was available to me including access to the ground floor which included a large entertainment/study room with refrigerator and dining table and chairs and a private patio where I could sit and have my coffee. I appreciated Jill’s offer of transportation to the bus stop as I was travelling without a car. So very kind. There is ample parking space for those with a vehicle.

N/A

Pleasant room at a great price. Quiet, comfortable

It's a little out of the way, but absolutely fine if you have transport. I liked it

I loved the pure cotton quality linen. Jill altered her behaviour during my time there, so my stay was very quiet.

Friendly, clean, no hassles

Quietness

We’ll placed for my cousin. Lots of space

The bed was a standard size one - which is ok - but it was one of those that dips into the middle - so a bit uncomfortable.

Lovely and spacious accommodation with good breakfast provided. I was grateful for Jill to wait for my arrival in the wee hours to check me in. My friend mentioned there’s lots of good walking tracks in this area (which unfortunately I didn’t have time to explore).

Excellent value for money. Very clean and tidy.

Private and comfortable. Breakfast tray daily was perfect for my needs. Host was very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely use again and will recommend.

Modern, comfortable, clean, tidy, and very private.

Nothing not to like.

Breakfast was plentiful and a variety of food. Nice quiet facility in an area where we wanted to stay. The owners were friendly.

Breakfast was split into two areas which made it a little strange however it wasn't really a big deal. The bed was a bit small to what we are used to.

Jill was so sweet and accommodating. She even gave me a small breakfast each morning. The bed was super comfortable and it was nice to have my own space completely.

It’s a little far from the city centre so unless you have a car then it’s hard to get in and out.

Jill (the host) was very good at communicating with me with regards to dropping in my luggage earlier than the usual check in time. She responds promptly via the booking messaging service. Jill was very accommodating and helpful during my stay for 1 night. The room, kitchenette and living/dining space downstairs is immaculate. She puts alot of care and attention into making the place feel homely. It’s well worth the stay for such a reasonable cost. Many thanks Jill : D

What a great place to stay and not only for one night... I loved it. Jill is a super host and very helpful and friendly. Everything was super clean and well organised. The WiFi was working perfectly. I could check in earlier and use the whole down apartment for myself. I would stay there longer if I could... Thanks Jill for a perfect place!

Nothing

Host was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. Facilities were great and very nice breakfast provided!

Warm, clean room with a 'homely' feel. Great communication from the host regarding arrival and departure; made to feel welcome. Great spot on the hill with a view over the city.

Lovely easy to get to place. The room was warm and comfortable. The bathroom was perfect too and everything was lovely and clean. The host was lovely and friendly.

Handy 5 min walk to Centaurus Rd shops and Brickworks Bar/Restaurant. Welcoming homely feel but with privacy.

Everything...quiet, convenient and comfortable. Great breakfast.

For what I was doing the location was good as it was around the corner from where I needed to be. I didn't have a car and the accommodation was across the city from the airport so I got a shuttle. I don't think it was central to the city but there were a couple of restaurants within walking distance and I had access to a kitchenette which I hadn't expected. Over all was just what I needed. The breakfast was a bonus and the owner did her best to accommodate my dietary requirements, which was really kind of her. There was also an offer of a bicycle so getting about would have been ok.

I was a bit nervous of the dog. It had free rein in the house so could come down to the part I was staying in and to the front door. It wasn't nasty or vicious, in fact it looked playful and friend but I'm cautious of dogs especially when the owners are out. Had I returned when the owner was away, I wouldn't have felt safe opening the door with it there. I understand this is a personal issue but I wish I'd known there was a dog in residence before I booked. It's not to say I wouldn't have stayed but I would have made my caution known to the owner.

Relaxing

Nothing

Wonderful host, great location, very comfortable and very clean. Thoroughly recommended.

Good sized clean sunny room, warm comfy bed, good ensuite/shower. Quiet location.

Fridge not in kitchenette or bedroom area but in separate lounge room. TV channels not adjustable from bedroom - had to go out to lounge room down hallway to make changes on main TV.

It had everything I needed, great facilities, felt safe and secure as a solo traveller and loved the breakfast provided. Communication was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Wonderful property with no faults. Great hostess & couldn’t believe breakfast was also included.

All exceptional
