Welcome to Revive on Oakview, a private and peaceful haven for those seeking accommodation away from the hustle and bustle. Revive On Oakview is set away from our house and is a purpose built cottage designed to host my established beauty therapy practice and offers a welcoming and professional approach to treatments, accomodation and complete privacy. Revive on Oakview is a place to escape and indulge. Boutique style accomodation is available for couples or anyone looking for the perfect place to relax and enjoy in this discrete, composed and private country environment. We have 2 rooms available. The Rose room has recently been refurbished. It has a queen bed, this is a cosy studio oozing charm with french inspired decor, own en suite. Has a small outdoor area but you are welcome to enjoy the garden. The perfect travellers retreat. The Oakview Suite is a spacious room opening out onto a deck overlooking the garden trees and pond. It has a super King Luxurious bed, en suite and a Lignum Wood Fired Hot tub (this is an extra $60.00). A cooked or continental breakfast is included in the tariff made with our very own free range eggs and delicious bacon.
After booking online Nicky provided excellent communication up to our arrival. The room was luxurious and we enjoyed our greeting from Nicky's cute Spaniel dog. Although we only stayed one night we loved sitting in the sun on the deck chairs and looking out over the pond watching the ducks. Nicky and Simon genuinely cared about us having a great time at their gorgeous property and we were glad we took advantage of the pizza Nicky prepared for us for dinner so we didnt have to drive back in to town (albeit only a short drive). Would highly recommend Revive on Oakview for couples wanting a truly restful stay.

We stayed two nights here, enjoying the friendliness and kindness of Nicky and Simon in a serene secluded area of the central east coast of the South Island, just south east of Ashburton, off SH1. We revelled in the pure air and gentle temperatures after the Sydney bushfires , smoke and heat.It truly revived us. The room is spotless, comfortable and welcoming.The grounds are beautiful countryside with trees, a lake, ducks, chooks, cows, sheep, flowers. It was easy to find after a straightforward drive from Christchurch airport. We were treated to delicious breakfasts and chose to eat the evening meals there. The homemade pizza and the platter were savoured whilst sitting on the deck, sipping NZ wine and chatting to Lottie, the hosts' dog. We can definitely recommend a stay at Revive on Oakview and will return there next time we visit NZ.…

Home from home. Nicky and Simon were the most welcoming and genuinely friendly hosts we have had the pleasure of meeting in our travels across New Zealand. We arrived as strangers and we very much felt we have left as friends. Very comfortable stay in a small suite in a garden setting adjacent to the main house. So quiet away from the road with only the sound of the birds. Excellent nights sleep in a comfortable bed and nice shower. Pretty garden with centre piece pond and resident ducks. In the morning you get treated to a full English breakfast in the main house which is absolutely to die for. If staying in the Ashburton area this idillic place is only 10 minutes out of town and you won't find a better place to relax and revive your spirts - Don't hesitate - just book.

Oakview affords a wonderful retreat of rural serenity only 20 minutes from the amenities of Ashburton. The facilities, including the wood fired hot tub, are high quality and the hosts both welcoming and accommodating. We have no hesitation in recommending this venue.

Nicky and Simon were excellent hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay discovering their garden and the surroundings. Pity we couldn't stay at least one night longer to see more of the area (a typical regret of NZ tourists I guess).

We were looking for somewhere relaxing (and romantic!) to celebrate my partner's 50th birthday, and Revive on Oakview was just perfect! An easy drive from Christchurch, we were warmly welcomed by hosts, Nicky and Simon and quickly settled into the gorgeous Oakview Suite with its serene views across the garden and duck pond. After a divine massage and a soak in the wood-fired hot tub, we feasted on the delicious dinner platter and slept well in the large, comfortable bed. The next day, an amazing cooked breakfast coupled with an 11am checkout rounded out our perfect getaway. If you are looking for a relaxing 'night away from it all' we thoroughly recommend Revive on Oakview.

We wonder, when we book to stay somewhere, whether it will be quiet, comfortable, warm, clean, spacious etc. Revive has all these things and more - coupled with two wonderful hosts, great food and lovely situation. You won't be disappointed!

This relaxing night away started with the most amazing Facial treatment. Can't describe how good it was, you need to experience it. We enjoyed a yummy platter in the evening and spent all night in the wood fired hot tub under the stars. AMAZING! After a comfy night in the Oakview Suite we enjoyed a cooked breakfast in Nicky and Simon their house. Highly recommended!
