The place suited us for a one night stay. Very clear and tidy. We had to supply our own milk for tea and although the room advertised to sleep 3 we had to pay $25 dollars extra for a bed for my granddaughter which was placed at the foot of our bed

Gated driveway / no TXT code received did not use

The Driveway to this BnB is gated and was told we would receive a TXT with the gate code on the day of check in NO CODE was received, went back twice to try and get in, only had the contact email for Hotels.com site tried to make contact with no success, late afternoon found alternate accommodation to use, requested refund and at that point received a TXT to say we had not turned up at all and was called a liar ? I described the next door neighbors dog who came to the fence to greet us, we were there twice, have taken my money and not supplied a service, refused our request to refund monies paid.

I felt it was a little unusual place to stay, we have never stayed in a b&b before so I am not sure if the experience was normal. We booked the family room, not quite sure what made this the family room. It was just a bed and side tables no tv or sitting area. ( there was a nice community area though no tvs anywhere though). We booked a room that included breakfast, then received a txt that stated breakfast is extra $15 pp. Don’t get me wrong this room was very cheap so can understand if they charge for breakfast but seems a bit misleading that you charge extra and pay cash or bank transfers when you believe that is part of the package. I didn’t question that with the hosts but declined the $15 breakfast. I was told by another guest that there was a extra charge to use the spa pool so didn’t bother with that either. But to be honest I wouldn’t have booked there if o had known these details, They seemed polite hosts, with firm boundaries. I will not be staying with B&B after this experience, just an uncomfortable feel staying at someone’s house, but that maybe just my feeling.

Tucked away in the moddle of seemingly nowhere, this place was eerily quiet. Not a single sign of life, and the place almost had an er of having been abandoned with how tired some of the features appeared. For example, there was an abandoned looking tennis court on property that had a puppy tethered to a hut, next to a very hard to find spa that was tucked behind some shrubbery that didnt look taken care of. The room itself was out dated and had spider webs in the curtains. Not a single tv or fan to be found anywhere. This place was overall eerie and didnt sit well with my wife and I as we had left a light on in the hallway on purpose, and the only sign of life was it was turned off when we woke up very early to leave at 4am. The property was pitch black inside and out at that time of the morning, with the light switches in the common room being impossible to find, so it was very difficult to get loaded up.

Newlands B&B was a lovely haven of peace after the hectic traffic of Christchurch. Christine and Andrew were the perfect hosts and we were lucky enough to have an area of their house all to ourselves. Highly Recommended.

This property does not automatically offer a "free" breakfast. We were asked to pay an extra $15 pp on top of the rate advertised. The place was beautifully presented, the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet, but unfortunately we felt very uncomfortable with our check in. There was no milk provided for hot drinks and we had to use an outside communal kitchen.

It was a very warm and beautiful place to stay, with the most welcoming hosts, Christine and Andrew, who made sure we had everything we needed. The property and surrounding views are stunning making our stay there a memorable one. We highly recommend Newlands B&B if you are looking for tranquility, amazing hosts and a beautiful place to stay in.

We stayed at this place for a night . Words are not enough for this place it is so peaceful place perfect for an escape away from everything. Our room was with garden view it was so so so cool . The best thing was waking up in the morning and hearing the birds chirping. This place really remind me days back in my home country my farm house. It is really a comfort place to stay. So clean and tidy place well maintained the whole property. We will definitely come back to stay here again and again.
