This was our last stop in New Zealand. A fabulous home with a superb view over the City. Bob and Jenny were very welcoming and made sure we were well fed. Would love to back, would make an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area.

Onuku was our last stop in New Zealand and we left with a very warm and pleasant experience. Bob and Jenny were just great hosts and couldn't do enough for you. We walked up to the Peak which was a real treat and had some great views. After the experience of viewing the City Centre, we were so pleased to... More

My family stayed at Onuku at the beginning of April over two nights and absolutely loved it. The view was amazing, the breakfast delicious and Jenny and Bob couldn't have been more attentive and caring hosts. When we got caught in traffic on our way to Onuku to collect Dad for our daughter's graduation, Bob told us not to worry... More

Jenny was so very welcoming, the place is just fabulous -- modern, clean, sweeping views, great hot breakfasts and fresh plums for us! Excellent bed, great shower, and a friendly dog! Only thing missing was a... More

My husband I stayed there for only two nights, but we loved it. Bob and Jenny are genuine and very caring people. They greeted us as if we were long lost friends. They welcomed us into their home by offering excellent conversation and a glass of wine. Their home is beautiful and the views are amazing. Jenny cooked a wonderful... More

Having booked into Bealeys we needed rescuing - thanks to the internet we found Onuku. 10 minutes later we were being welcomed by Jenny into her beautiful home. She made us feel so relaxed and at home, along with her other guest sat chatting until late. The 4 of us went for a walk on the hill behind the house.... More

Unfortunately we visited off season so only Bob was home, only just back from the North Island ... so we missed Reggie - but heard all about him. Bob welcomed us into his house like we were old and treasured friends - nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back when we can.

Bob and Jenny could not have been more helpful and accomodating to us. Their home is near the top of Cashmere Hills and is beautiful with a wonderful view overlooking Christchurch and the bay. Reggie, their dog, was very friendly as well. Breakfast was plentiful, well cooked and presented. Bob passed on to use some good tips for our tour... More

Jenny & Bob have a beautiful house which is high up in Cashmere and has a good view down into Christchurch. Made to feel very welcome and even Reggie the labrador was very welcoming. The accomodation and food was excellent.
