Three wonderful options for your stay. A beautiful purpose built bed and breakfast unit set in a picturesque garden on the outskirts of Christchurch. This unit has a separate bedroom, bathroom and living, kitchen area. There is an additional double bed in the living room for extra guests. As an alternative there is an attached wing to the main house that includes two bedrooms, Queen and King beds and separate living area and bathroom. In addition to the Pool Studio and Velvet Suite there is the Laurel Suite. This is a lovely quiet bedroom, with adjoining ensuite and private sitting area that opens up to a patio.

This was one of the nicest BnB's we've ever visited! The rooms were perfect, the bed was among the best we've ever slept in, everything was absolutely clean and spotless, there were plenty of food and snacks, there was a very comfortable and private outside area and a pool, and the location was great....right next to Christchurch airport and yet very quiet and peaceful. Meanwhile Sue and Greg are very friendly and helpful!

It was an absolute delight to stay at Maples on Harewood. Sue and Greg are exceptional hosts - friendly, informative and very welcoming. Our room was warm, quiet and the bed was so comfy. The gardens are gorgeous with plenty of little nooks to sit in and enjoy. The hot tub was a real treat and perfect on our chilly day! Located a short car ride into town and 5 mins from the airport. This location was really handy for our early morning departure. We felt so relaxed and didn’t want to leave. We look forward to our next stay!

It was our second time at this place, and we would definitely love to return in the future again. Sue and Greg are amazing hosts, go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. We stayed at the Pool studio with our kids for 5 days and loved every minute of our vacation. Lots of little details to make us feel at home, breakfast ready for us in the fridge, plenty of toys for kids to play with, swimming pool, tennis court. Very close for a good coffee or to restaurants, National Aquatic Centre, Willowbank Wildlife Reserve, shops, parks nearby (great for morning runs followed by a swim in the awesome heated swimming pool at your door!). We definitely recommend this place; we had such a wonderful and memorable vacation!

This lovely B&B was our final stop on our 12 day road trip, and was a very pleasant surprise! The owners have thought of everything, are so welcoming, and don’t just provide accomodation! We stayed in the gorgeous pool studio, which is large (much bigger than a hotel /motel studio), has a separate bedroom, a good size modern bathroom, and roomy living area with a well stocked kitchenette. With breakfast included, this had yummy and fresh home made bacon and egg pie, cereal (including good quality muesli), bread, muffins, juice, snacks etc! The pool and spa were amazing too and the gardens well organised to ensure staying there is private. Great for couples, families, friends etc. It’s located in a lovely suburb, 5 minutes drive from the airport but also only 15 minutes drive to the city centre. Highly recommend and for what’s included the cost is very reasonable. When we visit Chch again we will sure try book here for longer!

This place is the Bees Knees! A little bit of paradise. So quiet, super friendly hosts. And even a wee Sherry awaits you. They have thought of everything, even a frozen meal for the late arrival. It feels like home, only tidier. I will be back!

We had a wonderful relaxing stay here! So handy to Christchurch city and the airport, yet so quiet & peaceful. The amenities are amazing - heated pool, immaculate gardens & grounds, tennis court, lovely playground & sandpit ( if you have children) . Our self contained unit was just beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. A great variety of continental breakfast options were supplied, snacks and of course tea, coffee milk etc. Thank you Sue & Greg. What fantastic hosts you are. Would certainly recommend!

The visit to Maples on Harewood was our first visit and definitely not our last!! We were welcomed by the gorgeous Sue made to feel at home and relax! Beds extremely comfy, warm accommodation and did not want to leave at the end of our stay! Looking forward to coming to stay in Summer so we can come for a swim in the pool and sit around with a few drinks outside!
