Very nice old place. Lots of history
We were upgraded at no cost. Host had turned the heating on for us which was awesome. Breakfast was as expected. Lovely historic building with plenty of charm and a very friendly host.
Nick couldn't find the stairwell light in the dark.
The building, location, host. I was inspired to draw a sketch.
I booked for one night but extended my stay for another night

We opted for the continental breakfast which was great.
Nothing comes to mind.
location
You dont have excess to a micro oven even
great location just north of Christchurch, delightful old home with great breakfast by Julie
Our stay in this beautiful property was clean, comfortable and secure with a great bed and quality linen. It is close to the airport which was very convenient for us. Julie was an attentive host and our continental breakfast was appreciated. Most of all, the olde worlde decorations in this home was like a museum and the garden very relaxing. Thank you Julie.
No complaints from us
Julie was super friendly and accommodating for my booking which was 5 minutes before I landed on her doorstep..
Off street parking would be good.
Clean and comfortable. Great sleep and breakfast
The carpark was not as secure as we like
Lovely host, friendly and helpful. Beautiful house and room. Easy access to water, tea and coffee. Good, healthy breakfast. Great town to stay in before heading to the airport - nice cafes and surroundings.
The room was on the smaller side - just be aware if you travel with luggage (and potentially need to re-pack).
Very well refurbished house, good bed and linen, excellent shower
Is right in an intersection with a roundabout, but ear plugs are provided
Lovely house with interesting furnishings

It was a lovely house and a great location. Our host Julie, was very friendly and attentive. It was a pity we didn't stay more than one night.
It's a beautiful relaxing place to stay in a great location.
Vilket hus 😃. Alltid trevligt att få bo i ett stycke historia. Så vackert. Värdinnan har verkligen lagt ner sin själ i boendet. Skön säng. God frukost.
Convenience to eating places and airport. The room was very nice. The shower was very nice
Have admired this property when passing so great to get the opportunity to see the interior and all the lovely antique pieces. Amazing chandeliers. Dogs an added bonus for Allister. Thank you Julie for making our stay welcoming and comfortable.
Everything! From Julie herself, the house, the location, the cleanliness and the attention to details.
Beautiful property, close to town centre restaurants and bars. Bed super comfortable with quality bedding. Host was attentive and friendly
We liked everything!
The stay was fantastic

It was welcoming, beautifully appointed and comfortable as well as peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
It was beautifully appointed and decorated. The owner was so lovely
A lot of thought has gone into creating a lovely ambiance inside and outside the house. The room and bathroom were well appointed. The host kindly provided the option to charge our EV overnight. It was very enjoyable to linger over an excellent breakfast in the dinning room. Thank you Julie.
The property was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere and a convenient location. The room and common areas are beautifully decorated. Cosy with everything we needed for a pleasant overnight stay.
Nothing everything was amazing
Exceptional
What a gem of a find. It is like stepping back in time when you enter this home. Julie is amazing host and her puppies and kitty are super friendly. The gardens you could spend all day in enjoying all the flowers, birds and bees. Close to all the great restaurants and not far from the city centre. Bed is super comfortable and breakfast was delicious.
We could not fault the property at all.
Location was great, easy walk to town centre. Julie's interest in antiques were obvious throughout the home which was lovely.
the location, the staff, and the facilities
Majitelka byla příjemná a vstřícná, pokoj byl čistý a pohodlný.
Ubytování je umístěno na rohu ulice na křižovatce. Bohužel je velmi slyšet hluk aut z ulice i nedaleko přistávajících letadel. Trochu nás zklamala snídaně. Ta byla sice v ceně, ale velmi chudá, ve srovnání s podobnými zařízeními v dané cenové relaci. Pořádná snídaně (vejce apod.) byla za příplatek 20 nzd/osobu. Parkování bylo možné pouze na ulici.
Lovely continental breakfast included and served in the elegant dining room. We enjoyed staying in this beautifully maintained historical house. Bathroom was modern and shower hot. The hostess Julie was very attentive. Thank you!

This was a beautiful, old English interior B&B that was so welcoming and lovely. Behind the wonderful fence as a sitting area with all the terms of an English garden. Julie was wonderful and serve breakfast in the dining room that was heated and a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast.
Nothing, it was wonderful
Lovely host/ very flexible/ very easy
Traffic noise
Thanks Julie. Everything was great and well thought out. Character-filled house with nice big towels and bonus sweet treats in the room.
Very pleased with facilities,very clean impressive quality.
Nothing enjoyed my stay.you can't beat quality in service and hospitable owner.
Breakfast was a normal continental breakfast. Location was excellent for our needs.
The location was perfect for what I needed to do and I enjoyed the ambience created by the period furnishings.
Easy walk to CBD. Host was lovely, and very accommodating. House was beautiful and full of character. Breakfast great.
Just be aware of no proper off-street parking, and that you are on the corner of a busy intersection - noisy through the night. Probably no problem for heavy sleepers!
Absolutely loved Julie's home and her taste in decorating it. Everything was spotless, facilities and location perfect, bed super comfortable, and Julie was a very welcoming hostess.
Absolutely nothing!
An interesting place with nice period features. Julie was very friendly and considerate.
Great location with very helpful host, room nice and tidy with everything we needed
A WAY TO MANY NICK NAKS IN THE ROOM, PILLOWS VERY SMALL.
The house had a old school charm. A convenient location en route to the airport. Room was cosy and the host helpful.
The room was a bit cramped.
Delightful proprietor, friendly service. Lovely breakfast choices. Short walk to restaurants. Our room had everything we needed, including a coffee & tea setup. Lots of room to unpack clothes. Julie was very helpful in suggesting restaurants. Cute, friendly dogs. Updated bathroom was a plus.
Julie was amazing. The house & breakfast was lovely. We walked into town to a Thai restaurant on Julies recommendation which was also superb.
Saturday night was a little noisy on the street with a few hooligans doing burnouts out the front.
Comfortable with clean rooms and cozy atmosphere.
The breakfast was very well presented and good portions. I loved the cups and saucers.
Nothing at all
This beautiful historic home makes a lovely and peaceful break just outside Christchurch. We loved the house and the owner could not have made us feel more at home. Will definitely return.
Very plush, well maintained and enjoyable.
Wonderful host, gorgeous room, modern bathroom with powerful shower, lovely to have breakfast in the dining room.

Unique and original, very responsive and proactive host
Very friendly, quirky which I love. Value for money
Bed a wee bit too firm, but once used to it, absolutely fine
A great B & B, handy to Christchurch without all the rush & bustle! Julie was very hospitable, the rooms offered everything we needed, & our daily breakfast was great.. Beautiful house, contents & gardens.
quiet and clean

Wonderfully restored period home. High quality detailed finishes throughout. Lovely host Julie friendly and helpful. Bus stop closeby if you need it (we had a car). Everything works well including the TV and remote. Nice continental breakfast. Super clean and well maintained. Highly recommend. Ideal for couples and single leisure travelers.
Nothing.
Very quaintly decorated with an excellent host. Julie turned the electric blankets on for us and had the heater in our room going. Continental breakfast was excellent according to the menu we chose. Best bathroom towels I have ever used. Great ensuite and shower. Nice gardens and dining facilities.
Beautiful old period house decorated accordingly. Lovely warm bedroom with modern en suite. Glorious dining room with a great continental breakfast provided.
Nothing
Historical and well maintained - central to shops.
Lovely home and hostess
Overpriced, very basic breakfast. To warrant the amount other stays had a welcome drink , the rooms were preheated and breakfast would have been cooked and at the least fresh bread and bakery and homemade (ok if purchased) jams.
Beautifully presented, tasty continental breakfast.
Great breakfast
