Luxury at its best, Quail's Nest

JRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Shelley was kind enough to let me book this accommodation very last minute and responded super quick to help me out of a bit of a pickle. All I can say is that I came up trumps! Quail’s Nest is a beautiful studio with gorgeous views of the bay and SO peaceful and relaxing I genuinely didn’t want to check out! If you want a night or two to completely escape and feel at peace this is an ideal place. As a solo traveller this was perfect and Shelley and Tom made me feel very welcome and there if I needed them. They even asked me if I would like some fresh asparagus from their vegetable garden which tasted better than anything I have bought in a supermarket! The only thing to be aware of is that it is a very hilly area, the coastal walk may not be for the faint hearted (I tried but turned back 😀) and the walk to Church Bay is relatively quick but is ascending on the way back 😀 absolutely worth it though, amazing secluded little bay. Would not hesitate in staying here again.

Home in Governors Bay

Elegant Coastal Escape with Pool and Harbour Views

MichelleRating, 5 stars3 months ago

What a beautiful home in a unique location. Our three generations gathered from three countries for a lovely 5 days together in Christchurch. The views from all levels of this home are over the top. With high end cookware, two dishwashers and (my personal favorite and usual airbnb pet peeve) sharp knives, we grilled and gathered for “dinners in” every night instead of going out. Great access to governors bay pier and coffee/pizza just a short walk away. Loved this place so much and would return in a heartbeat.

We had a love family holiday. The home was a good base for a range of activities. We took the ferry and visited the market. We did some fishing at the wharf, and visited Orton Bradley Park. The home was warm, very clean, with everything you need for your stay. Thank you for having us.
