This is a beautiful house and a nice part of Christchurch. Location was convenient to downtown, and easy walk, and to the airport. The owners were incredibly helpful. The beautiful kitchen was available for cooking, and the garden for picking vegetables. We would stay there again, and wish we’d had more time.

Great eco Hotel
This is a beautiful, eco focused hotel with loads of nice little extras, great rooms and a really nice garden space. The bathroom was shared between us and one other room which was not a problem at all.

Stay
I really liked everything about the place except that the bathroom was not ensuite and required traipsing across the hallway outside the kitchen. Owners and staff were great, room was nice, beds comfortable and table tennis table was a godsend because there were no tvs in the room or lounge etc - which would be a welcome addition because staying in hotels can be very boring and you dont always want to feel you have to go out (and spend yet more money on entertainment)!

Cosy house
Owner is warm and helpful. The house is beautiful and eco oriented. Garden is interesting and most of the plants are edible. Will be better if there is elevator to the upper floor. Room is a bit dim. No TV in the room but is not very important.

A great place to stay to explore Christchurch!
We loved staying at this B&B. We loved the eco aspect of the place, the bikes that were available (although we didn't use them) and a lovely and comfortable room. Beds were very comfortable. We had a shared bathroom but it was large and clean with eco-toiletries and it was always available when we needed it. It's a short walk to the cathedral area of CHC, with restaurants, museums and the trolley. It felt like home coming back after a sightseeing day. Breakfast was good--homemade yogurt from coconut milk, good muesli and toast. Great fruit and jams. A healthy and delicious continental breakfast (cost extra). Kitchen was available to cook in if you wanted. Taxi service to the train station was especially easy since the B&B is connected to the taxi database-all you had to do was call and give a time. In short, I would book this B&B if I ever go back to Christchurch.

Thumbs up to a sustainable stay
The Eco Villa was a wonderful place to stay, with an edible garden, outdoor baths, beautiful upcycled furnishings and homemade almond milk and organic soya milk for teas and coffees - we would definitely choose to stay here again. The Villa was absolutely spotless, very comfortable and sustainable luxury.
