Ken and Jenny were outstanding hosts, nothing was a problem. The garden is lovely and we loved coming back in the afternoon, sitting outside overlooking the lovely garden and enjoying the bird song with a glass of wine. There was fresh milk in the fridge with various drink options so if you didnt want wine you were covered.

This is a lovely B & B run by a warm and friendly couple. Their home and grounds sit on five acres of stunning gardens. The room is upstairs in their home with an airy full bathroom. There's a bar fridge stocked with water and milk (for coffee). Coffee, teas, and hot drinks are in the room as well as an iron and board should you need them. We didn't use the TV and the WiFi was very good. Our hosts offered a lovely breakfast with fresh fruit, hot drinks, cereals, toast, and homemade jams. Since we're vegan, we don't know the other breakfast options that are available. This place was a lovely discovery on the drive to Christchurch from the West Coast. Thanks, Jennie and Ken!

An excellent stay
An extremely friendly welcome and very comfortable room, this was our first night in New Zealand and got our holiday off to an excellent start. The location is blissfully quiet and only a short drive to good restaurants in Geraldine. No hesitation in highly recommending.

Met by two adorable British Blue shorthair cats who made us feel very welcome. The hosts were efficient and the room was clean. Extremely comfortable bed which meant we fell asleep within minutes of our heads touching the pillow. TV very easy to use. Lovely breakfast.
