The room was warm and it felt more cozy than a motel unit does. Loved the dog. Friendly but not demanding. The bed was great, lots of pillows to prop up in bed and watch tv. Also liked the separate kitchen with everything in it. Good water pressure in the shower, and my husband said the shampoo and conditioner were very nice.

    Olive House is a lovely private residence in a northern suburb of Christchurch...about half an hour to the Port Hills. The bedrooms were well appointed and beds very comfortable, and we also had use of a separate lounge and outside garden area. The hosts are very friendly, and their little dog Lucy is a delight. If you enjoy chatting with a local, or having a little quiet downtime, this is a great option.
