So recommend Newlands. Room has the most comfortable bed, grounds are stunning and hists warm and welcoming...then there's Toby, the cutest little puppa you ever could meet. Easy access to Christchurch and elsewhere. Close to wineries and Two Fat Pssum restaurant (also recommended).
Hosts were very helpful in organising transport to dinner and the meal at the workingmens Club was excellent. Lovely clean rooms and comfortable beds, great location and the hosts were very friendly. Great stay
Have emailed more than once, no response. Window net curtain had black mould, as did door frame, drapes dirty. Room reaked of bleach and carpet/air freshener. Unit otherwise OK. Restaurant clean and tidy, but plates cold, place was not busy, lamb shanks were stone cold inside, hot on outside. B/fast, plates cold, food greasy, roast arrive ten minutes after rest of meal. (Was forgotton) Partner stayed with work, month earlier, his meal was forgotton and he asked an hour later, it must have been sitting under heat lamp, as immediately arrived dry. Would be reluctant to repeat. And only posting review because emails with pictures ignored. (Emailed via their website)
