We stayed in the cottage overnight on our way up the island. The hosts were very lovely (as were their cute dogs!) and the breakfast in the morning was better than you'd get in most cafes. The grounds were beautiful, even with the mess of the turning season and the bed was massive and very comfortable. We were however a... More

Hi Cody & Dominic We are really really glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We have realised recently the decor is dated and have moved to change that. It is a pity that we didn't get the interior changed before your stay, though the plan is to have the refurbishment completed before the busy summer season to come. To... More

We stayed in the cottage B&B. This is a wedding venue and the gardens are absolutely magical. The innkeepers are very warm and friendly (though the husband is a bit shy but will certainly answer your questions). We had a wonderful stay in a cottage that is separate from the house. The bed was absolutely beautifully decorated. Everything was terrific.... More

We were returning from Queenstown to Christchurch and decided to stay here enroute. We loved staying here!! The house looks like it was lifted from a fairy tale! The rooms were very warm and cozy and the bedrooms had the softest mattress and we had a really good night's sleep!! Carmel and Ferg are brilliant and endearing hosts and ensured... More

I loved staying at Stonebridge. I stayed 3 nights and my friends were married in the venue on Sunday. Carmel and Ferg are delightful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed - ie bacon and eggs the morning after the big day. Tess and Bruno (the dogs) were also great company. The house is warm and cozy, the... More

I feel guilty about writing a negative review as the owners were so helpful and friendly but the fact remains that the accommodation is very poor. The situation is beautiful with lovely sunny gardens but the room was very tired to say the least. The only good thing in it was the bed, the rest of the furniture was old,... More

My wife and I were unable to find any vacancys after driving many hours from Queenstown on our way to Christchurch. We passed this newer building that had a tour bus parked out front and a sign with B&B under Event center as we were leaving Geraldine, NZ. We turned around thinking we could at least find out if they... More

This is a lovely place: green loans, lake with ducks, big trees, lots of flowers and birds singing. It is easy to find and very quiet. The cottage is clean and the king size bed very comfortable. The bathroom is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. The hosts made us feel at home. We wished we could stay longer.... More

We were looking for a stop over on the way from akaroa to Dunedin, and found this online. We found we had booked a little bit of paradise. Super welcome, excellent accommodation, the most comfortable bed in new Zealand. The gardens are just beautiful. And the ever present hot tub was a big added bonus which we used a lot.... More

Thank you for your review and very pleased you enjoyed your stay. In winter, on a cold and frosty night, you can sit back in the hot spa and enjoy the millions of stars in the night's sky and see the "milky way" so clearly. Magic. We do have 'the fitness weights' in the outer shed and a running track... More

We decided we needed a weekend away from Christchurch and decided to stay at a B&B rather than a motel. We could not have chosen a better B&B. We booked at the last minute (the day before) and from the moment we arrived the hosts welcomed us as if we were part of their family. They were very friendly and... More

We chose this B&B from the NZ tourist site. While the gardens were lovely, the bed comfortable, and the hostess friendly, the bathroom/shower was on another floor, shared with the owner, basic and dirty, the breakfast fuel rather than food, and the table cloth/napkins given to us at breakfast crumpled and un-ironed.
