We enjoyed a lovely night here at the end of a campervanning holiday recently. The rooms are beautiful and the bed was really comfortable. We enjoyed the port and sherry in the lounge, the dvd collection and the book exchange. We did feel that the welcome we received on arrival was nowhere near as warm as those we'd received at... More

We were only able to stay one night in Christchurch before taking the Tranz Scenic train to Greymouth but we were fortunate to find excellent accommodation at Elm Tree House. Karen and Allen were the perfect host and hostess and the stay lived up to all expectations. Although the property did not esacpe unscathed from the earthquake it did not... More

The breakfast room has a long table and you sit wherever you like and talk to whoever is around. Great for conversation, but not so good if you want to be quiet! Breakfast was good and plentiful.

If you're lucky you may meet Harry & Max,... More

My new wife and I stayed here on our wedding night. A gorgeous room that was very romantic and decorated very tastefully. I loved the attention to detail throughout the place with everything very authentic yet it did not lack the modern day comforts such as warmth and sound proofing....(I personally loved the old fashioned phone). But the best part... More
