Perfect place for a mid-winter getaway close to Christchurch.
Pros:

We dined both nights and the food was excellent.

Cons:

Wait staff using bare hands to replace cheese and meat at the Breakfast service - Tongs could be used to for safer and more hygenic food presentation.

Lovely cosy fire

Was just looking for a simple room, but chanced upon a place with breakfast and an awesome restaurant.
