    would have loved bacon and eggs the odd time.

    wifi bit slow, Tv remote broken, told replacing and no chromecast, told that will change with new tv. Can hear the next door a little in the new wing. Beautiful place perfect location and can walk anywhere. Managers great couple.

    Heating in room was insufficient in cold weather.

    Lovely establishment secure and quiet surroundings, room clean and quaint, perfectly situated close to attractions in the city centre. Husband and I enjoyed breakfast had a wonderful chat with guest staying and the host who was friendly and accommodating. Good value for money. Highly recommend. Stay again next time visiting Christchurch.

    Superb location, nested in the heart of Christchurch city, opposite the Art Centre and just steps away from most sights, the Museum, Botanical Gardens, Avon River and Library, literally living in the garden. The villa is a hotel with continental breakfast included (not AirBnb with cookware). For guests with a Chinese palate (like my families), heaps dining options within walking distance. The stunning heritage building preservation and tasteful interior refurbishment truly make each room tell its own tale. The hosts are very personable. If you are interested in the story of the house such as the first owner, the globe-like decanter, the exquisite glass curtain wall, etc, I highly suggest you spare some time and talk to Despina and Costa as they are the walking history of this villa. Highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Christchurch.

    Booking.com didn’t advertise facilities as is. I made the choice for a particular room, the selling point was that it came with a fireplace. I was disappointed that a fireplace wasn’t an option.

    The location is convenient, the staff were extra accommodating and helpful.

    Only a minor point - couldn’t seem to get the heater on and it was a cool night.

    It was elegance and finesse combined … a charming villa. The owners were exceptional hosts and the extra touches were a delight.

    There is no hot option for breakfast. There is plenty of fruit, bread, pastries, cold cuts, and cheese but no eggs, bacon, or sausage.

    The location of the villa is fantastic -- right across the street from one of the arts centers and one block down from the large art museum. The botanic garden was a block away. There were good restaurants, shops and cafes right near the villa, and then a bunch of restaurants across the bridge near the River Market and along Regents Street. The couple running the villa were very friendly and helpful.

    I wish I had booked for 2 - 3 days, 1 night was nowhere near enough to enjoy the property and location.

    Breakfast was great and the our host Jackie was friendly and helpful. Excellent customer service and it felt like we were staying with friends. Thanks Steve and Jackie, Great Job. We really hope to be back and will encourage our friends and family to come and stay with you when in Christchurch.. Oh, Did I mention the amazing location of this property, in walking distance to all inner city locations and restaurants.
