An outstanding genuine bed and breakfast in a beautiful home. The home was clean, artfully decorated and beautiful, wi-fi worked well, breakfast was delicious and many food options were offered. The hosts, Steve and Chet, helped us orient to the city and find the things we needed, supplied a map, made suggestions about possible activities and restaurants, and had top-up cards available for public transit and a local laundromat. The hosts are particularly helpful and charming. One of the very best B&B experiences we've had--perhaps THE best-- and we've stayed at B& B's in many countries.

I loved that it was an interesting historical cottage set in beautiful gardens and a lovely leafy street The hosts Chet and Steve were so welcoming and offered a great breakfast! The location is great for getting into the centre of Christchurch but also the advantage of having a great local restaurant close by (You must book in advance) . I highly recommend staying here! Steve and Chet were so kind as we wanted to do a small wash and when we returned later that evening it was neatly folded on the bed.. ! I would say they went the extra mile:) -

The Cottage is a lovely and cosy place where you're warmly welcomed. If you love jam then you will definitely enjoy the breakfast with many different kinds, as well as cereals, fruit and toast. Different kinds of coffee will be prepared just for you. Apart from having good chats around the house my girlfriend could also have her breakfast in our room when she unfortunately got sick after our flight to New Zealand, which was great. We would come back any time if we're about to return to Christchurch!

A beautiful, historic cottage that is walkable distance to fantastic restaurants and a micro brewery. Fantastic hosts with heaps of great recommendations on what to see in Christchurch. A fabulous breakfast room with an array of breakfast choice and coffee! Also has a small kitchen for guests to gather and/or make their own pod coffees

Located in a quiet area of Christchurch. Breakfast was a bit limited, but still tasty with various options to choose from. The hosts were very friendly and gave interesting sight seeing tips. The room is quite dated, but serves the purpose.

Designer Cottage was a great value for Christchurch! The room was super cute and cozy. I loved the garden and outdoor table. There are lots of food options nearby. Breakfast was nice and the owner was very accommodating to my special dietary needs (gluten free and dairy free). He also provided plug adapters when mine stopped working and arranged for my early morning taxi to the airport.

Chet is a great host. He has prepared a sheet with a lot of information about Christchurch and the surroundings and a great website with more detailed information. The breakfast was delicious and with other international guests very nice and informative. It was unusually cold when we arrived in Christchurch, so we were happy about the heating blankets.We came directly from the airport by bus No. 8, which stops 3 minutes from the house - very convenient.

The property itself comfortable and charming. The gardens are beautiful and provide a nice place to relax after a day in the city. Overall, we had a really comfortable stay. Steve could not have been more helpful. He provided great advice, recommendations, and even loaned us metro cards to help traveling the city easier. The breakfast was also the best we’ve had so far on our trip. We would absolutely stay here again!
