Our stay was most enjoyable. We were visiting family in the Selwyn area and the location was perfect, as it is situated handily for this area and is also not too far from the city. The house is a lovely old character home and has a real rustic charm. It was very pleasant to be in and the amenities were all that we needed. The gardens and setting are well kept and tranquil. The log fire was lit when we arrived and the house was warm and comfortable throughout the stay. If you like the country air and want a relaxing time in a beautiful setting then this is a great place to stay. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are more than adequate and the warm pikelets on arrival were most welcome. The kitchen was also well stocked with some basic essentials. The bedrooms were well set up and the beds were very comfortable, in fact probably more comfortable than our own!
There is no TV connection (there is a good size connectable flat screen that can be used though) but for us this was not an issue as we were able to use our Laptop to connect via the broadband using Skygo etc. But we wanted to get away from the TV anyway. There are some great games to play and we had some real fun with Rummikub & Coits.
Rachel & Kyle are fantastic hosts and certainly went the extra mile to help us when we needed them. They are also very discreet and gave us the privacy we needed.
For us it was a lovely experience and we would recommend Ridge Road Gardens very highly.
