“Jasmine and Michael are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed our stay very much!”
Our host Jasmine was super attentive and communication was excellent! Everything we needed and then some was provided. The service level was truly above expectation. Breakfast was tailored perfectly to our wishes, with fresh and tasty ingredients. Rooms were spotlessly clean, fresh and very comfortable. Surrounding gardens are beautiful! Area and house so quiet and relaxing.

“Great B&B home stay near Christchurch.”
We liked how friendly and welcoming Jasmine and Michael were at this B&B home stay. The breakfast offerings were exceptional and by the time that we were due to leave we felt very comfortable sharing their beautiful home. Lovely grounds and gardens, cosy, warm and homely. A different but enjoyable experience on our trip of NZ.

“Lovely home and lovely hosts”
Jasmine and Michael could not have been more accommodating, friendly or helpful. Jasmine especially did everything in her power to make us feel comfortable and at home. Felt like I was at my mum’s house.

“Excellent B&B stay in a lovely home with amazing hosts”
Amazing hospitality by our hosts. We were on a busy schedule leaving 5am for our fishing trips but Jasmine got us breakfast and some snacks to take along. Tip: Jasmine’s Chinese cooking is authentic and excellent!! Just ask her to fix dinner for you. Place is very clean and Jasmine and Michael are incredibly friendly and helpful and do everything to make you feel at home

“Lovely property, lovely hosts and we enjoyed our stay.”
Stunning garden and the house was lovely. Both Jasmine and Michael were amazing hosts and went out of there way to accommodate us and make us feel welcome. Very close to a small town with one of the better Indian restaurants I have eaten at. This is a traditional air b&b with hosts staying in the same residence, this might not be for everyone but we liked it. And we loved the cat. We didn’t use them but they have a separate lounge, table tennis setup and tv for guests. Guests are well catered for.

“Beautiful serene stay”
I chose this place because we wanted to stay in at locals' residences to get a glimpse of their lives. Jasmine was a great host that ensures you are settled. Most importantly like all other reviews, you will enjoy her home made breakfast. At this rate, you won't regret it. The rooms might be a little cramped if you have a lot of luggages to pack. I will prefer that there is no chairs in the room for more space as there is already a beautiful lounge and dining area which we really enjoy.

“The best BNB we have ever stayed at. Jasmine and Michael are the perfect hosts.”
We loved Jasmine and Michael’s place. A large gorgeous garden setting and a beautiful house. The property is so quiet as the house is a good distance from the road. Jasmine and Michael are fantastic caring hosts nothing is a problem,beautiful breakfasts comfortable bed and spotless bathrooms. Hopefully we we will go to Christchurch in the near future and be able to stay again.
