Great location, 3 minutes from town. We were made to feel most welcome by Hannah and Maria and our room was immaculate. Maria even provided us with a herbal/honey combination for my wife's bad chest cough. Breakfast by Maria was a real treat and afterwards we were taken on a personal tour of the vineyard by Gerald the vineyard manager,... More

Having spent three nights in Christchurch (and experiencing quite a number of rumbles from aftershocks even 1 year after the disaster), the Old St Mary’s Convent turned out to be a real heavenly place to relax and catch up with some good sleep. The property is a jewel and beautifully set in a lush garden with shady trees, fragrant lavender... More

After a long drive from Mt. Cook, we arrived at the most special location on a beautiful day! We had no idea what to expect, but were instantly thrilled with what we saw. We happened to be the only 2 people there those 2 nights and so got the total attention of the manager of the property. Her name is... More

We had two nights at the convent in February and could have stayed a week. It is a charming location set among beautifully manicured gardens and the whole experience was a delight.

They provide bicycles on site for free so it's perfect for cycling around the vineyards and breweries tasting. It was all the little things as well... More

Maria and Hannah looked after us extremely well and we were so happy there we stayed in both evenings with delicious platters of food and a very well stocked complimentary... More

After traveling from San Diego we arrived at this wonderful endearing place. Marie, the caretaker really took care of us. The accommodations were first class and worth monies spent. The breakfast and dinner cooked to order by Marie were out of this world. After arriving I found myself padding around in my stocking feet and enjoying a glass of the... More

Stayed for 2 nights, what a beautiful place to relax and great hospitality. Will return on our next stay in New Zealand.
