“Great location. Walkable to most places, but bus stop right outside if prefer to use. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Nice breakfast provided. Free parking. Jane was delightful, helpful in educating us the many highlights of Wellington. If you enjoy hiking, trail to Mount Victoria is right next to her home.”

“Staying at the Alpaca is not what I expected. The room is perfect shared bathroom, clean & spotless, kitchen supplies & more Onsite House keeping she's wonderful location quiet and breathtaking, Owner, great communication, keep the good work up”

“The management and staff of Stay at Mission Bay are very professional and respond immediately to issues and/or requests. The rooms are well appointed, very clean and comfortable. All creature comforts have been considered by the hosts and it makes a significant difference to your stay. Free on-site parking is available but the location is very close to lovely Mission Bay beach and restaurants etc that you don't need a car as you can walk, and just a further few minutes walk along the esplanade, you can reach Kohi Beach and St Heliers Bay. Public transport is just across the road to all places of interest including the aquarium, museums, the CBD and more. Our stay was fantastic and the accommodation is well worth the money spent and certainly as good or better quality than a 4-star hotel. I highly recommended Stay at Mission Bay due to its location, exceptional hosts and management and will definitely return on my next visit.”

“Amazing view one of the best look out spot on Waiheke island. Very spacious and cozy interior perfect for wedding stay or few families and friends. There is walking track nearby so can enjoy Waiheke best view coastal walk as well.”

“We have just returned from our romantic "mini break" on Waiheke. Studio 1 was a room with WOW factor from the view and privacy of the room to the luxurious linen on the bed! The Nespresso, bathroom products, cleaning products, interior touches and design with feather filled cushions were thoughtful and a welcomed change from the regular "Hotel products" that seem a little "chain storish" at times. The lockbox and other security features were a perfect touch. The local Waiheke wine is exactly what you want on offer when you travel to an island so rich in the winery experience so well done! The craft beer was a particularly satisfying drop and we could easily have had 2 more each. The walk to Mudbrick was indeed short as was the walk to the Oneroa retail, restaurants and the local art. Your location is truly convenient which only added to the overall exceptional experience of packing in as much as possible in this "mini break". The communication from Jan was efficient and we thank you for allowing us to keep our bags in the storage facility while we took advantage of tiki touring our way through the sights. Constructively: (this did not affect our stay in any way) Our TV was stuck on "loud" and for the life of me I couldn't work out how to turn it down so that may have been annoying for Unit No 2. The beer really was sublime, another 2-4 would have been perfection. For avid coffee drinkers who take milk, perhaps 500ml of milk would last better given Nespresso is made with a milk frother) I am sure you get asked all the time for a late checkout as the room is so amazing but that too could be a plus sometimes although I do understand the need for an efficient cleaning schedule. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to experience "authentic sophisticated service" and hope to get back sometime soon. PS Loved the complimentary Whittakers Chocolates!!”

“LOVED it here. Lovely friendly owners, clean, comfortable and super-cool caravans, and a great common room, kitchen, deck, and showers/washrooms with everything you could ask for and more. So many thoughtful touches to enhance your stay. The trees, ferns, flowers and birds add to the relaxing and unique experience. Would love to return!”

“Our stay was absolutely positively fantastic. The quality of the apartment was above and beyond our expectations. Staff were very helpful, location was only a 5 min walk to the main shops and the beach was literally across the road. Huge thank you to the Belle Mer Team who helped to make our stay comfortable and memorable.”

“The solid version of a 1person tent! I only stayed overnight on my way through and found the little hut with a single bed sufficient. The "ablution block" is just a few meters away, all set in a great garden with view over the neighbouring orchards.”

“We had a wonderful stay at the Seascape Villa B&B! David and Tatiana are super welcoming and friendly, they greeted us upon arrival, showed around the place and provided great local recommendations for dining and exploring the area. Our room had a great view, and was top notch comfortable and clean. The breakfast was exceptionally good and included crepes, fresh fruit, yoghurt, a selection of jams, cheese and ham, cereal and eggs. Overall, would highly recommend staying with Tatiana and David while you are in the area!”

“New, tidy place easy walking down to restaurants and bars. Quiet with a decent view of the sea. Room is small, especially bathroom, but excellent for a night or two”

“Great rooms, close to a couple of restaurants and shopping center. Service was good.”

“Great camp. Very handy to Kaiapoi town, the river queen boat and some good walks and bike tracks …”

“Absolute fantastic value for money at the Darfield Motel. Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. We stayed for four nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Spacious, warm and wonderfully clean rooms. Well equipped kitchenette. Walking distance to the amazing bakery and other places to eat. Thank you Darfield Motel for a warm welcome and perfect stay. Can't wait to come back.”

“Stayed at Golden Hotel for 2 nights. This hotel exceeded my expectations. Very clean and tidy, amenities were great. Very close to food places and Westfield mall. Will be coming back here whenever we come back to Christchurch.”

“What a lovely place to stay. Gorgeous old homestead, which had a lovely homely feel. Frances and Julian were tremendous hosts, extremely accomodating to our groups very specific needs and they made us feel very welcome, and the freshly made bread was outstanding.”

“We just had our wedding at Eagle Ridge and were lucky enough to stay at the Homestead for 2 nights. I cannot recommend Eagle Ridge highly enough. The accommodation was absolutely next level! We felt so special staying there with our family and friends. The views were stunning, the grounds were beautiful and it was an absolute dream. For the wedding it was so nice being able to turn up and everything was pretty much done for you, nothing was too big or too small for the staff. They handled everything with complete professionalism. The food was delightful, everybody raved about how delicious the food was. And I cannot recommend highly enough the venue, Deborah and her incredible staff.”

“Beautifully appointed, super spacious and immaculate accommodation. The owner is lovely and so helpful. Go for the deal that includes dinner locally. I went to the Laboratory which was buzzing and had great food and locally brewed beer.”

“Amazing Freedom camping ground with fantastic facilities. For people staying in tents you can stay here for 2 nights in a row max. For Self Contained it’s 4. We arrived around 5pm and the site was very quiet, assuming the weather had hampered a lot of people’s camping adventures. Very clean and well maintained areas. Everyone here on the night we stayed were very respectful of each others space These grounds have a KiwiCamp pod where you can use a kiwiCash tag to make full use of the facilities, which include: Hot Showers, Laundry, cleaning sinks and electric cooking. You can use the toilets free of charge and there is a basic Sink and Out Tap on the side of the pod. There’s even picnic benches scattered around where you can pitch next too. And a few undercover benches too! 100% recommend this location, will hopefully get the chance to come back.”

“Attended a friends wedding there in Friday. Fantastic venue. Well catered. Nice gardens.”

“We arrived very late at night and still it was no problem to our wonderful hosts who waited up for us. It was a rainy and cold night and it was wonderful to arrive to our preheated quarters. The place was very clean and modern, great decor and art throughout. It was my first stay at a BnB but I would have to say this place would have to be considered at the top end of BnBs. We enjoyed our peaceful and uninterrupted stay. We are already planning our next stay. Thank you Brett and Sally for making your home ours as well. AAA+++”

“Highly recommend this accommodation the service was fantastic. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable great nights sleep Also the location was perfect very central to everything.”

“Very convenient to central Christchurch. Stayed here a couple of times, Summer and Winter and the contrast is interesting. There is a back deck outside area with covers and heaters. Drag blankets from the games room too if needed. Cosy villa all around. Can't wait to stay again.”

“Views from the deck were amazing The house was very well equipped from the great gas BBQ & outdoor furniture to the kitchen utensils, bed linen & towels The location was very handy for the town despite the very steep uphill climb on the way back! Highly recommended”

“Cute place near everything. We walked mostly. Parking is close quarters but at least they have some! Rooms are spacious and comfy. Staff are awesome.”

“Thank you Chet and Steve of being a very good and lovely hosts. Very good stay, the room is cosy, clean and comfortable. They have small little pantry in the room itself - coffee, tea, water and a kettle to boil water. Toilet amenities are also provided. And I like the surrounding garden with planted apples, pears, plums, lavenders and so many others. Walking distance to the nearby cafes and restaurants, and 15km to the Christchurch international airport. As my flight is very early, so I don’t have chance to have the breakfast, which I really love to do it in my next visit again.”

“Stunning hotel, that sits beside the lake for those that like going for walks or runs in nature, this is for you. They do have a gym and spa on-site though for those that don't want to leave the hotel. I have stayed here 3 times over the year and each room I have gotten, have always been very clean and have been stocked with everything I could of needed. The staff here from reception to the restaurant as well as the housekeepers are so Incredibly lovely. I highly recommend this place!”

“From the moment Fi showed my partner and I around Waipuna, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Fi was warm, bubbly, and hilarious—she made us feel instantly comfortable and genuinely excited. Sarah was just as amazing, keeping everything running smoothly with her quick replies and eye for detail. The day itself was more perfect than we could’ve hoped for. The staff were lovely, the setting was stunning, and our guests couldn’t stop telling us how much they loved Fi (and her generous drink pours) and how beautiful the venue was. Being able to stay on-site the night before and after made everything so much easier, especially with setting up and packing down. I felt so calm on the day, knowing Fi and Sarah had everything under control. Everyone was blown away by the views, and our florals (done in-house by Katrin) were absolutely gorgeous. Waipuna was the perfect wedding venue for us—we couldn’t recommend it more!”

“Stayed here over the weekend for a rowing camp with my girl, and it was beautiful. The views, the property, and the proximity to everything were amazing. I will definitely stay here again”

“Spent 5 nights here with my family and had a wonderful time. Wendy and Mike were very accommodating and welcoming. We were able to spend a day just relaxing by the pool which was much needed after a busy holiday and before we came home. A great place to stay!”

“totally awesome place to stay in everyway!.....hosts are so accomodating and helpful.....everything spotlessly clean and tidy, comfy bed and nice personal touches in the room. Will def. stay again and highly recommend for location, price and comfort in one of ChCh's best suburbs.”
