    Quiet location close to public transport, especially the airport bus, and local Riccarton restaurants. The hosts were very helpful and with only two rooms, sharing a bathroom was not an issue. Top marks for cleanliness and taste in furniture. It...

Our house is spacious and sunny. We live downstairs and the entire upstairs is the Bed and Breakfast. Guests have a front door key and come and go as they please. We have a separate entrance and living space. Guests with queries or questions are welcome to come downstairs and knock on our door. We will do our best to help.
We are an older couple who love to welcome people into our home. Don is a semi retired Trauma Counsellor and Olive a retired high school teacher. We are both involved in local community work and have a large extended family.
We live in a leafy street close to a native bush reserve and yet within easy walking distance of restaurants, a large shopping mall and all main bus routes. There is a lively Farmer's market 5 minutes walk away on Saturdays with organic local produce, great music and good coffee in a beautiful setting.
