This is a lovely B&B. It is an easy 20 minute drive from Christchurch Airport, yet so quiet and peaceful. Andrew and Christine are very welcoming hosts and we enjoyed our conversation over breakfast. The guests’ lounge is comfortable and guests can make hot drinks at any time. Set in beautiful gardens. Highly recommended.

Quiet world, location, good communication with a couple. Our understanding of B&B was bed-and-breakfast, but there was no breakfast. Perhaps here in New Zealand. It doesn’t mean the same thing as it does to us in the US.Still a pleasant stay

It was a very warm and beautiful place to stay, with the most welcoming hosts, Christine and Andrew, who made sure we had everything we needed. The property and surrounding views are stunning making our stay there a memorable one.
We highly recommend Newlands B&B if you are looking for tranquility, amazing hosts and a beautiful place to stay in.

The place suited us for a one night stay. Very clear and tidy. We had to supply our own milk for tea and although the room advertised to sleep 3 we had to pay $25 dollars extra for a bed for my granddaughter which was placed at the foot of our bed

We stayed at this place for a night . Words are not enough for this place it is so peaceful place perfect for an escape away from everything. Our room was with garden view it was so so so cool . The best thing was waking up in the morning and hearing the birds chirping. This place really remind me days back in my home country my farm house. It is really a comfort place to stay. So clean and tidy place well maintained the whole property. We will definitely come back to stay here again and again.

Newlands B&B was a lovely haven of peace after the hectic traffic of Christchurch.
Christine and Andrew were the perfect hosts and we were lucky enough to have an area of their house all to ourselves.
Highly Recommended.
