Maples on Harewood couldn't be more perfect! It is a beautiful house in a quiet neighbourhood close to the airport. The rooms are comfortable, clean and fully equipped with everything we need. The kids love the huge backyard garden, the playground and The Shed where there're lots of toys and books for them to explore.

Sue and Greg are the best hosts ever. They are very kind to let us check in ahead of the time as we arrive early and take very good care of us by stocking up the fridge with bread, pies, milk, juices and fruits. There're more food than we can eat! In the morning, we have to leave early to catch a flight back to Bangkok and they are kind enough to drive us to the airport.

It is definitely the best B&B we ever stayed in. It is perfect for a family with small kids like ours. We all have a wonderful time there. It makes our last day in New Zealand memorable.

Perfect place to start the New Zealand holiday. We arrived at the place after a long flight from Singapore and couldn't have found a better place to rest and relax. It is minutes from airport and everything was laid down perfectly for us including the snacks, muffins, sandwiches, milk, cookies, instant noodles etc. The hosts Greg and Sue were more than welcoming. The property itself is nestled among vineyard and gardens and is very quite. We were in the velvet suite which is a 2 bedroom apartment - perfect for a family of 4. The beds were comfortable, wifi worked liked a charm.
The great thing about the property is the shed at the back which doubles as a display of host's proud rugby possessions as well as pretty playroom. The boys had fun time with Table Tennis. I don't think we could have asked for a better start for our NZ holidays. Thanks Sue and Greg.

After a long flight from the UK we arrived at Maples on Harewood which was tucked away in beautiful gardens next to a vineyard. We stayed in the Pool Suite which was exactly that, a large room with open plan kitchen diner and separate double bedroom. All very homely and warm. With every thing you could think of that you would need for a few days stay! There was an outdoor pool which we didn't make it into as we returned late each evening after exploring! The owners Sue and Greg were the perfect hosts and so friendly and helpful, Sue gave us lots of tips and information to maximize our stay before we moved onto Dunedin to visit friends.

On opening the fridge there was lots of homemade food including a very tasty egg and bacon pie which Sue made. Each day after a full day site seeing there was always a homemade treat of either biscuits or cakes.

The B&B is ideally located, not far from airport and 10 minutes drive from the city centre. Excellent base for all your exploring whilst staying in Christchurch.

An extra bonus after all the sight seeing was a hot tub which helped ease your tired legs!

If we do return to New Zealand we would definitely stay at Maples on Harewood.

A fantastic property just minutes from CCH airport but a world away. Beautiful rooms with all mod cons and amazing hosts. Very informative and friendly. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Mary and Tony.

The hosts of this B&B have thought of everything.
As well as continental breakfast, there was homemade bacon and egg pie,fresh fruit, cookies, small packets of chips and instant noodles.
The choice of 2 bedrooms, dining/sitting room, a spacious bathroom with seperate toilet.
Lovely garden with pool and tennis court.
Had only booked for 1night, wish it had been longer.
Will hopefully return to stay here again, and see more of the Christchurch rebuild.
Highly recommended..
