Steve was a fantastic host! Very easy to talk with and gave great travel tips in the area. The room was clean and comfortable. It wasn’t a very far drive to get to the city center, and there are a lot of good food options nearby. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Christchurch

A quirky little place, very comfortable, did not get chance to try the breakfast owing to an early departure, but fruit, yoghurt and cereals left out for us

Nice property. Very quaint heritage home. Liked the hosts and breakfast. Located close to the CBD, with an uber trip to the CBD costing about $11 (or a half hour walk if you prefer). The shared bathroom is a bit inconvenient for the price but otherwise good.

Chet and Steve were such great hosts. So welcoming and helpful. The B&B is a beautiful old house with easy access to downtown and other sites. Breakfast each morning was tasty and a good chance to meet other travelers. The area around the B&B is a quiet residential area. The gardens have won a couple of awards. I'd highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Christchurch.

Steve and Chet have created a charming and comfortable space for their guests. I stayed for 6 nights and explored Christchurch and the South Island by taking day trips. Steve and Chet were very helpful with suggestions and answering my many questions. There place is within walkable distance to the city center and close to public transportation. Highly recommend Designer Cottages B&B
