Fantastic ! What a wonderful apatement to stay ! Of all.comforts. Beautiful kitchen, lovely bed and a super bathroom. And Deva is a perfect host! She arranged the Whale Watch for us and we were even allowed to use the Mtb for a ride to Kaikoura center. She even took us downtown 2x because we didn't have a car. Awesome !!! Thank you Deva !!! You are amazing !

Everything was great! The location is excellent, right in front of the bus stop. The service is outstanding, the bed is incredibly comfortable, and the room is spacious. The bathroom is also clean and spacious, perfect for a relaxing bath. It's the best choice before departing from Christchurch Airport.

The owners, Mike and Charlotte, were fantastic. We had good comms from the start as we didn't arrive till 2 days after the booking..Nothing was a problem for them and they were so flexible. They are a credit to their business. I just wished I could have stayed longer it was fabulously clean and in an excellent location. I would thoroughly recommend staying here if you are in this area. Thank you for making our stay very comfortable , and I hope to see you again next year.

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.
