Port Levy B & B Christchurch

Port Levy

Boasting sea views, Port Levy B & B Christchurch features accommodation with a private beach area and a patio, around 45 km from Christchurch Railway Station. Martin and Verity were very friendly and helpful hosts. They were industrious people who spent many years to make this remote area of Port Levy into a restful paradise. They planted many pine trees into a pine forest and harvest pine nuts. They planted different vegetables and herbs for cooking. Verity is an multi-talented artist and a chef. Therefore the meals she prepared for us were pleasing to our eyes and our palates. We wish we could be like chameleon that can fix one eye to the food, and the other to the view. The full English breakfasts and other choices were excellent, with different kinds of home-made jam to choose from. The optional dinner was sumptuous too. A spectacular sea view made the food even taste better. We enjoyed our meals inside when it was rainy and windy, and our breakfast outside on the balcony when it was warm and sunny. The beauty of the place shone through both rain and shine. This place could be named Port Levy BnBnDnV (Bed and Breakfast and Dinner and View).

Glenburn Coastal Retreat

Kaikoura

Glenburn Coastal Retreat in Kaikoura provides adults-only accommodation with an open-air bath and a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. We enjoyed being there so much we asked if we could extend our stay. Sadly, they were booked so we were unable to. However, due to how much we enjoyed our time there, we are hoping to come back next year and stay again. The cottage is so comfortable that we cancelled our dinner reservations and grabbed food at the local grocery and ate in both nights. With the ocean on one side, mtns on the other, why would you want to be anywhere else? Extremely well equipped with everything you could need. Comfortable, relaxing, and beautiful setting all rolled up in one. Thank you for all the special touches included in your cottage. Our favorite place in NZ so far.
