Honestly the photos of the Saints don’t do it justice. It was incredibly more beautiful and luxurious in reality. And what the photos don’t portray is the feel of the Saints and it’s peaceful serenity. Nor the hospitality of the hosts and the care, attention to detail, the extras from chocolates to fruit platters and more, the welcoming personal greeting and the warmth and additional extras they do for you during your stay. The Saints is incredibly special, healing and tranquil yet so close to Christchurch, the Port Hills and surrounding areas. You can have the best of both worlds, stay in and relax or go out and explore. With the gorgeous addition of the stunning views, flowing stream with canoes, wood smoked hot tub and sauna, it’s the perfect place to stay. We can’t thank Heather and Sven enough and can’t wait to come back and stay again one day.
