What Our Guests Are Saying
What a great place to stay!! Cute and cosy cottages with so much privacy it hardly feels like you’re at a motel! The biggest positive of them all; allowed us to bring our dog for the stay - think he may have loved it more than us!! Thanks so much guys; will definitely be back soon 😋😋

To all Coasters, this is a rare gem in Chch. Parents in one cottage. Teenage daughter and dog in there own cottage. Native gardens, private, spacious and such value for money. Kiwi owned, which is lovely. Best place to stay in chch for those who dont like the city, a home away from home. 10 out of 10. A city sanctuary. Thank you.
