We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

I have no expectations for only 1 night stay near the airport. but this hotel impressed me with his fantestic food and restaurant, hospitality and convenient location, well maintained facilities. Again this is a family operated hotel with 50 years history, you know their story by seeing the photos in the hotels. overall it is an excellent hotel, just like a home away from home, I will definitely come back! thank you.

Amazing property overlooking/right opposite the beach. Room was very clean and classy. Hosts were extremely lovely and friendly. Patrick gave a great suggestion for a restaurant and we were not disappointed. A lovely home made breakfast to finish off.

It was a delight to stay at Designer Cottage and the cottage could not be faulted in any way shape or form. The owner was very obliging and went out of his way to accommodate us which was greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure to communicate him and he was extremely timely in his responsiveness. We would have no reservations in booking to stay there on our return trips to Christchurch. It would in fact be our accommodation of choice compared to other places we have stayed when visiting Christchurch.

Perfect location to explore schools and access to city centre; very quiet; the loft design made it feel much more spacious for 2 adults and 1 child on a 4 night stay (the extra bed for our daughter actually made it more homely); very comfortable beds and linen, clean, lovely warm in winter, Netflix, handy kitchenette; and good sized bathroom. Friendly staff.

this hotel had every home comfort you cold imagine, the spa bath was amazing and the welcome on arrival second to none. a privately owned boutique hotel with great facilities and close walking distance to all the hammer restaurants and bars as well as the springs just across the road. lovely towels were provided by the owners to take into the spring and this saves you a few dollars, the owners were amazing and their attention to detail was fantastic

Beautiful boutique style hotel and gorgeous room, situated right on top of a tram stop! Quiet part of Christchurch. Walking distance to cute New Regent Street, lovely OGB bar across the road, amazing street art, Cathedral redevelopment and eventually the car hire for our road trip. Charismatic and super helpful hotel concierge.

Stunning location - easy access to the whole Lake Tekapo village - very impressive architecture & design of apartments. Beware that its a very spread out resort & you mostly need to drive from reception to your apartment. Nice buffet breakfast.
