The Landsborough Tekapo

Lake Tekapo

Set in Lake Tekapo, within 46 km of Mt. Dobson, The Landsborough Tekapo offers accommodation with air conditioning. The interiors! The location! The views! We’ve traveled to 65 countries and never fell in love with a home so deeply like this one. The design, the warmth, the views of lake tekapo, the night sky, the cleanliness, convenience, area, ease of access. It’s huge! 3 bedrooms! We were four but it could have easily fit 8. The rooms were clean and at the level of a hotel. There were mini bags of laundry detergent, make up removing wipes - so many thoughtful little touches that the couple Jen & Hamish set out for their guests. We had NZ staple snack set aside for us upon arrival. Jen and Hamish are the best hosts ever, I actually met them and asked them if they would do another as we just loved the home. It gets booked out fast, so if in tekapo, I wouldn’t wait to book it.

Port Levy B & B Christchurch

Port Levy

Boasting sea views, Port Levy B & B Christchurch features accommodation with a private beach area, a garden and a shared lounge, around 45 km from Christchurch Railway Station. Tranquility and beauty with magnificent hosts and the best breakfast you could hope for ever, Port Levy BnB was the perfect weekend retreat for me and my adult daughter as we sought a quiet getaway in rural Canterbury. It’s only an hour or so from the outskirts of Christchurch on a Saturday, but feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle. Verity is a self taught artist and her pottery, paintings and the home’s garden sculptures add a unique touch to the beautiful gardens that lead down a steep hill to the sea. Martin is a friendly and dedicated host, who served an incredible breakfast with various choices, filling us up for the day. The room is inside the home and downstairs so you have privacy, a beautiful next door bathroom with bath overlooking the view and small kitchen cupboard with kettle and fridge. I wish I had booked earlier and read sooner that guests can pay for a dinner, as I can imagine how delicious it would be. The interiors are elegant and the birdsong and views of sea and hills are a highlight. We soaked in the spa and enjoyed a nice chat in the upstairs kitchen with the hosts, who provided privacy and conversational entertainment perfectly, depending on your preferences. The road leading to the property is unsealed and rural, but fine for our little 2 wheel drive car, and the entrance is through a wooden gate with a small ceramic sign indicating the bnb.
