I was looking for a get away for my wife and I that was not too far from Christchurch, and that was more homely than a motel or hotel - and wow Shaun and Vanessa did not disappoint! Their amazing house has a self enclosed annex for guests, which is well appointed and very comfortable.
On arrival we were made to feel very welcome, and not as if we were intruding on the family.
Due to the time and location we chose their offer of an evening meal and wow - expectations were exceeded with a three course meal including charcoal grilled chicken, roast vegetables and salad. The continental breakfast was equally great, with a range of cereals, toast, fresh fruit and yogurt.
Best of all? A night in the wood-fired hot tub looking up at the amazing night sky. Stunning.
We left refreshed and relaxed and look forward to another visit in the future. 5*’s and if I could give more I would 🤗
