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!

Perfect location to explore schools and access to city centre; very quiet; the loft design made it feel much more spacious for 2 adults and 1 child on a 4 night stay (the extra bed for our daughter actually made it more homely); very comfortable beds and linen, clean, lovely warm in winter, Netflix, handy kitchenette; and good sized bathroom. Friendly staff.

this hotel had every home comfort you cold imagine, the spa bath was amazing and the welcome on arrival second to none. a privately owned boutique hotel with great facilities and close walking distance to all the hammer restaurants and bars as well as the springs just across the road. lovely towels were provided by the owners to take into the spring and this saves you a few dollars, the owners were amazing and their attention to detail was fantastic

Beautiful boutique style hotel and gorgeous room, situated right on top of a tram stop! Quiet part of Christchurch. Walking distance to cute New Regent Street, lovely OGB bar across the road, amazing street art, Cathedral redevelopment and eventually the car hire for our road trip. Charismatic and super helpful hotel concierge.

Stunning location - easy access to the whole Lake Tekapo village - very impressive architecture & design of apartments. Beware that its a very spread out resort & you mostly need to drive from reception to your apartment. Nice buffet breakfast.
