Wonderful house with beautiful garden view. Very kind welcome from the host and it is worth to visit. If I go to Christchurch again I will defiantly go their again :) Best Regards, Sultan Alqassabi From OMAN

We found this place through a recommendation from another B & B in Akaroa. As a result of the earthquake a couple of years ago, there is a significant shortage of accommodation in downtown Christchurch, and people have to get lodging out in the suburbs. We were indeed fortunate to find this jewel. John and Beth run a fabulous B... More

Was in Christchurch for one night with my 7 year old daughter, We are not big city people and used Trip Advisor to search for accomodation. Really happy to have found the Garden View B&B. Wonderful Hosts and brilliant Breakfast and wonderful pillows. My daughter now wants me to buy some goose,duck down pillows. A great big thank you and... More

Our family accidentally came across Garden View late one evening with a tired 6 month old baby and an exhausted impatient 5 year old daughter! We could not have received a better reception. Both John and Beth are extremely welcoming and immediately made you feel comfortable. Beth went above and beyond of what I'd expect from a good B&B and... More

6 of us stayed at Garden View for our last night of a New Zealand holiday. What a treat! For a short time we all felt like family members. Beth and John are wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They are a fund of knowledge about their lovely country and the home is filled with music and the... More

We have stayed at Beth & John's Garden View B&B on three occasions, and we've always enjoyed our stay and time with them. The B&B is well appointed and the rooms are spacious. Beth & John are great hosts, willing to share stories and provide information about not just the area but all of NZ. It's home away from home... More

Beth and John made my stay here just like staying with family. Nothing was too much trouble. From the hosts getting up early to cook a breakfast when I had an early start, to John teaching me one of his recipes using fresh produce grown in his garden. I cannot recommend highly enough and will gladly return next time I... More

It was lovely to arrive to such welcoming hosts and the gardens were beautiful. I should have wrote my review sooner...the beds were comfortable, the room tastefully decorated and the whole experience positive. I will recommend to anyone not wanting to stay right in Christchurch. It is easy to find and very relaxing.

Mom never took such good care of me. Don't get me wrong, I love Mom but Beth and John were the most gracious, curtious and heart warming host you could ever ask for. From the cook to order breakfasts to the second to none hospitality I looked forward to returning each day during my week stay. You will never want... More
