I I highly recommend Greatstay in Christchurch (B&B). Lovely modern home, very comfortable rooms with private facilities. Centrally located and in close walking distance to a number of restaurants. The proprietors are extremely accommodating and very friendly people. Well worth a try. More

Really enjoyed the comfortable & spotless bed and bathrooms, excellent breakfasts. The convenience of being close to downtown buses was appreciated. Plenty of opportunity to participate in convivial conversation with hosts and other guests but still provided privacy when required. Highly recommended!! More

We were most impressed with the attention to detail and the kind, warming hospitality that John and Lesley provided us with while we were in Christchurch on a business trip. I recommend this Bed & Breakfast to all executives who are travelling to Christchurch for meetings, as it is a nice alternative to staying in a hotel. More

After a round trip around NZ south island, we are finally back at where we start, Christchurch. Having went around for the past 2 weeks without any prebookings, our luck ran out here, many of the Motels or B&Bs were full or prebooked! But it was a blessing in disguise in fact when a nice B&B (Wish, Christchurch) owner helped... More

We were amazed by the attention offered to us both. Both John & Lesley had good advice to get the most out of our short stay with them. They were both excellent embassaders of the Christchurch area that has gone through so much in recent months. The accomodation was second to none and a comfortable stay was assured. Finally the...

John & Lesley were great hosts. The B & B is located a short walk from the Botanic Gardens. You can take a stroll and watch rugby practice on the fields and then walk through the Botanic Gardens. We spent three nights and enjoyed excursions from this starting place. Accommodations are very comfortable with nice amenities. More

We only stayed for one night but it was so pleasant that we were sorry to leave so soon. We couldnot have wished us better hosts and felt at home as if we were old friends, which we were not, till then. It was not just the service (which was excellent), but the friendlyness that was most impressing. If we... More
