Words from happy guests
Excellent short stay, the host is very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and New Zealand in general. We were advised accordingly and made some changes in our travel plan, very glad that we did, otherwise we could have missed out on many things. Very highly recommended to anyone, couples and even family with children.

This is a magical spot. Delicious, utterly natural food. Everything you need, and respite from everything you don’t.

We have had a fantastic stay here at Maja’s place. What a beautiful house and a lovely view – a perfect start to our trip to NZ and to relax for a few days following the flight from London! Thank you for the delicious breakfasts and the tips for our travels. Maja went out of her way to help us and nothing was too much trouble. We would recommend and would love to stay again!

Such a perfect ending to our holidays here in NZ. The lovely decor and the photography show Maja’s exquisite art taste. She prepared wonderful breakfasts!
Lina & Henry, China
It was wonderfully relaxing to stay at Maja’s place at a very special time of the year. It is amazing how many details Maja is taking care of to make our stay outstanding. It’s the little things like the bathrobe she provides, the awesome breakfast, her offer for pick up in town and her preference of organic products that make you feel at home and pampered. Thank you for getting to know you, Maja, and your great special place with the wonderful view.

Maja is a great host and made our first B&B try a great success. We could not have expected more than what Maja provided to us, stunning view, delicious food etc. Any inquiries we had got recommendations or answers from Maja. Would definitely want to stay again if we come back to Christchurch next time!

Maja, you are a great host and have made the start of our holiday a memorable one. Although our stay was cut short due to the flight delay, you have uplifted our spirit in every way you can as a great host. We know that we will definitely come back for another visit in the near future or recommend others to come and stay. Your house is so well kept and the view overlooking the bay is simply stunning and breathtaking!

Heavenly spot it is indeed, the views from the house especially at night and at breakfast are stunning! Thank you Maja for going out of the way to give us rides up the hill and all your help.
