Hewling's Manor

Delightful hosts.

It was just a lovely quirky house and Julie was just so welcoming and friendly. We would definitely stay again

It was very eclectically decorated, almost like stepping back in time. So interesting. Julie was so lovely. We arrived quite late in Geraldine, but she welcomed us in to her quant home and made us feel completely at home.

Lovely old villa. Very comfortable and Julie was very friendly and accommodating

Nothing

Too far from town. Didn't like being asked to check out earlier than the advertised time. Home stay just not for me as I didn't like our room being entered while we were out.

The strong air freshener in the bedroom

A lovely home that was more like a museum which I found lovely l. Our dog was made very welcome

My husband wasn't comfortable with all the little touches and felt anxious about breaking something

Perfect accommodation, comfortable, breakfast provided, very welcoming host and handy to town.

Wouldn't want anything changed

Breakfast and location was fantastic.

Julie the host was delightful and welcoming. The place was eclectically furnished with matching decor - almost like a museum. The facilities were extremely comfortable and the garden was beautiful

Couldn’t find fault

Old fashioned, antique, stunning grounds and home. Host is wonderful highly recommend for a B & B.

Having to have had Netflix or being able to caste to the lounge tv from your phone even though thd hodt could sort easily..

Lovely character home decorated in keeping with its era - in the front room with dining and living area.

Fantastic stay at a very characterful property. As well as our bedroom and bathroom we had a massive sitting room and separate breakfast room. Really enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the unique decor. Host provided excellent items for us have for breakfast; also home made sweet items to enjoy on our arrival. Thoroughly recommend as Geraldine is a good stop en route to/from Christchurch. Only regret is that our stay was only one night; would have liked another night to explore the area properly and have another breakfast!

Julie was very welcoming and friendly. Accommodation spacious and relaxing and su filled.

It wasn't just a B and B it was a full lounge kitchen bathroom bedroom and outdoor porches as well. Really homely and comfortable and breakfast was lovely.

Julie was an amazing host, giving us a warm welcome and ensuring a great stay. The accommodation was comfortable, in a really lovely setting, with a lot of things of interesting items.

Julie was a great host. We didn't expect to have so much use of the property, and to frank the breakfast was real bonus

It was all good, we even considered staying a day longer!

Very comfortable

No direct access to running tap water

I had a really lovely stay! Beautiful property with very cute and quirky decor, large peaceful garden, cozy bedroom, large lounge area, and tasty breakfast. The owner Julie was very kind and welcoming.

Julie is an excellent host, very convivial, providing several little extras and making us feel very welcome. The house is full of a variety of quirky ornaments and decorations to provide interest and talking points. A beautiful garden complements a beautiful, homely, characterful house. Breakfast consisted of cereals, home made granola, toast and homemade preserves, juice and filter coffee. The town has a couple of pubs and restaurants plus individual shops and a museum - easily walkable from the property.

Great location!

Separate bathroom not en-suite but that said it was for guest use only!

A very comfortable and attractive cottage in a quiet setting with everything you need. Julie, the host was very friendly and the breakfast was great

Care and attention to detail by owner , ie pastries and chocolate, housemade muesli very good, breakfast room outlook, very good host.

Keep up the passion for the good work you do

The decor of a heritage house with beautiful garden.

We stayed one night only, but everything was perfect, so was landlord :-)

Great use of bedroom lounge and kitchen. Julie was an excellent host.

Kitchen could use a small sink for washing up dishes.

Lovely character home full of charm, comfortable warm room, welcoming host who communicated well.

Absolutely nothing

We had a memorable stay in this beautifully furnished old home with it lovely gardens. Our bed was extremely comfortable bed, as were the armchairs, and the breakfast was great. Julie is a very friendly and helpful host. Her home is filled with character and is in a quiet location, a short walk from town. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Le top de l’hospitalité et du confort à tout point de vue!

Lovely cosy big bedroom with heaps of space. Love the fact you get half the house to yourself with a lounge room and window seat overlooking the gardens. Kitchenette with lovely options for breakfast and large bathroom. Would definitely come back here again.

Hospitality by owner was excellent

Julie was a most welcoming host, who could not have done more to make our stay a pleasant one. Our bedroom was clean, spacious and comfortable and we had a separate bathroom and a lounge and breakfast area. The property had been decorated in a very individual way, which was interesting.

Sehr gepflegt und ruhig gelegen

Julie was a perfect host and made our stay a perfect experience.

The room was very cosy, everything was clean and well kept. The host is extremely friendly and welcoming but also respects your privacy. Will definitely visit Geraldine again and stay at the hewlings manor if we get a chance to.

Fabulous cottage very homely and comfortable the host julie was great, very welcoming would definitely stay there again

Beautiful host Quaint house Quiet area

Gastvrijheid en gezelligheid

We had a weird experience (see below) but bed was comfy and super sweet dog.

Felt like we were rushed/ an inconvenience to the host. No privacy. Asked us to leave early so she could get to work and asked to come in our room and strip the bed before we had checked out. No lock on bedroom door. Some smaller details missed like no body wash in shower and little snacks served as tea/breakfast were spoiled. Overall not a great experience for us and felt the cost was not worth it.

Breakfast was really good with everything we needed. It was especially nice to have a fridge on hand and a spacious living room with side breakfast room all to ourselves. Bathroom was really nice. We had a good portion of the house to ourselves actually and our hostess was very considerate. The home was beautiful and in a very quiet peaceful setting close to town. Garden was gorgeous too!

Perhaps some suitcase racks or a place to put a bag as space was limited for our things, but only due to the many beautiful furnishings in the room itself. It was very homely.

In a peaceful area of the town, surrounded by well tended gardens. Easy short walk into town. Very comfortable bed and helpful host.

Great value, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Es war eine tolle Unterkunft die mir MEGA gefiel. Eine tolle viktorianische Ausstattung rund um. Nur empfehlenswert.

Julie is an amazing host. Her home and garden are absolutely gorgeous, filled with amazing memorabilia both inside and out. It also has a lovely view over Geraldine. The breakfast she provided was delicious and the bed was so comfortable. The verandah outside the bedroom is a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others.

The house and setting were really lovely. Very comfortable bed however the pillows need replacing as they are flat and lumpy.

The host asked us if we would mind leaving15 minutes before check out because she had to go to work. We didn't have a problem with this, however we did have a problem with the fact that she came into our room and stripped the bed while we were still packing and getting ready to leave.

Everything

Julie is a great host. She was so welcoming, including her greyhound called Mason. Her place is very cosy, and we had the use of a very spacious lounge with access to tea and coffee at any time. Julie also supplied some homemade sweets! The place is easily accessible, with car parking just outside the property in a quiet residential street. There are plenty of good restaurants in the town.

It can get a little chilly at night, but there is an electric blanket on the bed.

Clean , nice bed, friendly

Julie was an amazing host, very welcoming & friendly. Her home is cozy & comfortable with a great collection of furnishings & decor. The bed was comfy and the claw-foot bath was just great! The little extras provided by Julie were a lovely bonus!

Our host Julie was delightful. Very friendly, helpful and looked after us really well.

A rare 10/10. Excellent in every respect. Cannot be faulted. Superb host, extremely comfortable room with exclusive access to large lounge, dining etc. Lovely garden and dog. Nice breakfast. Most comfortable bed of our trip around South Island.

Nothing to dislike about Hewling's Manor.

Excellent location with an excellent host we will come back!

It was perfect!

Comfortable stay with a friendly host. Nice little extras were a thoughtful touch.

A liitle more space in room for luggage would be handy 🙂

Very private and comfortable We were made to feel like home. The host Julie was very friendly and helpful.

Loads of character, very spacious with your own sitting room and little kitchen area. Friendly host and cute dogs!

Nothing.. we loved the character of this heritage house but if you are a fan of minimalism this is not the place for you.

What a lovely B&B in Geraldine! The bedroom was nice but the beds was fantastic, so comfortable. We had access to a sitting/living room and two porches. The yard is beautiful with loads of gardens. You really felt like you were a guest in a home. Breakfast was good with juice, coffee, tea, toast, yogurt and cereal. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was fabulous.

This is a beautiful property. The owner has gone to extraordinary lengths to create a charming and welcoming environment for her guests. It was great to soak in the bath after our long trip in NZ and the bed was very comfortable. The surrounding gardens are tranquil. Mason the greyhound was a friendly and gentle co-host. We would definitely recommend a stay at Hewlings Manor.

Julie's home is beautiful & she offers a great place to stay. Bed was comfy. It's very quiet. She & her dog offer a warm welcome. There's a continental breakfast included.

Older home beautifuly home presented in a unique old fashion way the stay was a great experience.

An adoring place with the best imaginable host. Breakfast beautifully prepared in unique surroundings. Top marks!

There was no option for gluten free breakfast. What was provided other wise was good. Very spacious lounge and breakfast room. Service from the host was excellent. Very friendly atmosphere.

There was too much clutter on the bed. Bed covering was too hot. Not really space for suit cases.

Character of the house, beautiful garden. Helpful host. Loved the Barker’s jams!

More space for luggage would be great

Fabulous garden!

Nothing to improve on!

Excellent facilities with a large part of the house available to guests with the host living in the remainder of the house, and left guests to their own space. However host was available and very helpful. Good space for storing and charging e-bike.

The accommodation was at the top of a hill overlooking Geraldine so that was a surprise for cycling guests after a long hard day! Entrance to the guest bedroom was through a porch which acted as a dog's home which some people may not like.

Location. Friendly.
