Kai and Kathryn went far beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome and at home. Kai collected us from the airport and took us onwards to our next port of call after our stay with them. Kathryn is a wonderful host and most importantly to us, gave us an understanding and perspective of ChristChurch life. Their local... More

Kathryn and Kai were warm, friendly and very welcoming. Kai collected us from the airport and took us to Riccarton to collect David's glasses (another story altogether!). kai then allowed us the use of his (old and interesting!) car to get around in. The B&B is a few miles outside Christchurch CBD. The accommodation in "The Nest" itself (separate to... More

A Nest on Mt Pleasant provided a lovely contrast after a week of hotels. All the comforts and space of home with friendly hosts. A wonderful part of Christchurch. Expect a B&B in terms of interior design - but great value.

We had the good fortune to book two nights when we first arrived in New Zealand. Kathryn and Kai helped us feel comfortable right away. They answered many questions, set us up with maps, and introduced us to Kiwi hospitality. A nice place to stay and if you go wish them continued success with the rebuilding.

Couldn't wait to get to Christchurch after a hot & humid Bangkok. Our first sighting was a lovely friendly, smiling face which belonged to Kai. He had offered to meet us at the Airport and it was great to meet him. Only half an hour away and we were introduced to Kathryn and 2 other guests Jill & Richard. We... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed here in January 2013 and we found Kathryn and Kai to be very friendly. The house was very clean and in a fantastic location. We spent over 2 hours the next morning chatting with Kathryn and Kai and we really didnt want to leave. We had a fabulous stay in The Nest

We recently stayed here on our travels through Christchurch. It was an absolute pleasure, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel very comfortable. The B&B has amazing views of the mountains and is in a tranquil location, with the advantage of being close to Christchurch's town centre. The kind owners went out of their way in making our stay...

comfortable house and beautiful garden with great views. We arrived here after our long flight from Germany and enjoyed the calmness as well as our beautiful rooms, the decks to sit out and the lovely cooked breakfast while chatting with Kathryn & Kai. Very amiable hosts who helped us with good hints. Not far to drive to Christchurch or Sumner.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Nest is situated in one of Christchurch’s most loved hill suburbs, nestled in a garden of native bush with views from the living areas of our Estuary, Sea and Mountains (snow covered in the winter) beyond. Our bed and breakfast is a unique fully self-contained home, including full kitchen and laundry, yet with all the service and friendly, personal hospitality of any homestay. THIS IS THE PROMISE OF THE NEST. We live right next door and are there for you at all times. Breakfast, cooked and served at the "Nest" can last for hours, but can also be finished in 15 minutes if that is what you desire. So if you book with us you will be staying in a 3 bedroom home, and the maximum number of people you would be sharing the whole house with would be 1 other couple as we only use two bedrooms at any one time. Your enjoyment and happy memories of your holiday are important to us. If you have any special requests please just ask. We are very close to Christchurch’s best beaches with excellent cafes and restaurants, Lyttelton Harbour, The Gondola, a 9 hole Golf Course and driving range, plus hillside walks with breathtaking views to the Southern Alps. The Nest has TV, stereo, DVD and BBQ, plus Internet access including wireless. We have easy access garage parking for two cars. The neighbourhood is tranquil and safe. All this only 15 minutes drive from the centre of Christchurch. The Nest is built on three levels with extensive decking for maximum enjoyment of its hillside setting. There is a lot of inside and outside living space for total relaxation. There is a small library of NZ books for your reading enjoyment. Extensive use of natural timber adds to the ambiance of the Nest. We invite you to view some of the comments some of our more than 2200 guests have been kind enough to write in our guest book or check our reviews on Tripadvisor. The Nest is also available for you as a Holiday Home rental, should you so desire. ... more   less
