"We loved our two-night stay. The bed and room was very large and comfortable and the heating was fantastic. Bathroom had everything we needed. The spacious home was set on a large block of land just 5 minutes drive from Rolleston shops and restaurants. The owners were very friendly and helpful"

"They stayed up very late for our arrival (11 pm) and offered to make us a hot drink at that time. Telephone directions were given and this was followed by very clear instructions by text message. We plan to stay here again soon"

"Evelien is a perfect host with the added advantage of having a large house set away from the noise of roads and other houses. She is knowledgeable, and world-travelled with a host of stories from Africa and China. We enjoyed our brief time with her and will ask her if we can stay with her when we return to the Christchurch area"

"Evelien and Scott's home was absolutely lovely! It felt like a countryside stay with sheep roaming outside your window, a home that offers tranquility and peace to your eyes and soul. We were a stone's throw from Rolleston and Lincoln which provided a good range of dinner options, and Evelien was very kind to have given us her suggestions and provided us with the restaurant brochures. The beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. We absolutely love their breakfast spread! Home made yogurt and scrambled eggs, it can't get any better. Of course, dearest Mack was ever so welcoming, such a cute dog to have around the house. We would love to stay here again if we return to Christchurch".

"We arrived at Evelien's feeling tired and weary, she was relaxed and friendly and the accommodation was terrific; she made us a drink and offered to make us a snack we couldn't have asked for anything more. The bedroom and bathroom were exceptionally comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast was perfect for us: all home made hearthy and tasty.
Great experience thank you to you both."

"I hadn't realized I was going to be staying in a homestay. I felt a little odd coming into someone's home. That being said, my stay exceeded anything I thought about homestays. The warm welcome. lovely set up, the hosts were friendly and lovely to talk to but also not over whelming and more than happy to just chill. A cool dog wondered around and was extremely obedient. so many little things were quite cool - really appreciated the cute spot."

"What a lovely house and what a warm and welcoming couple. Really enjoyed the stay and was made to feel very welcome and very comfortable. Breakfast was superb, best scrambled egg I've had in ages, plenty of local knowledge which was of great use, wouldn't have seen the Seal colony on the way home without it."

" Staying at Evelien's house was amazing! Her and her husband Scott are very welcoming hosts and make you feel right at home. They have a very beautiful house and the ensuite we stayed in was spacious and clean. The house is located in Rolleston which is an easy drive to either the Christchurch airport or downtown Christchurch. It is a perfect place to stay after landing, before leaving, or just visiting Christchurch. Both Evelien and her husband were a joy to talk with and my wife and I enjoyed getting to know them and hearing about their amazing travels. The breakfast that was included was cereal, toast, fruit, juice, eggs, and jam. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Christchurch area. We loved our short stay here."

"Really happy to meet Evelien and her husband, Scott. They are very nice, helpful, they shared a lot of information for us, guide us how to reach the next destination. We have been taken good care by them when we staying with them. We loved their big house, with nice, clean, neat and quiet environment. We feel great and pampered to be their guest. The breakfast and fruit prepared by Evelien was so great too. We will definitely come back again if we come to Rolleston again and I will strongly recommend to other guest to stay with such lovely host"

"Gorgeous place and great host. We only stayed for a night and arrived very late but Evelien was amazingly hospitable and laid a beautiful breakfast in the morning with some amazing honey from her own bees! Although a little scary driving in at night the accommodation is beautifully situated and the decor very tasteful. Definitely what B&B is about, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Evelien!"

"Wat een super fijne lokatie.. Binnen 30 minuten zit je in hartje Christchurch. Evelien is een geweldige host die ons met koffie en fris ontving en ons met raad en daad bijstond. Haar huis is heel ruim met 3 prachtige slaapkamers, 1 met een eigen badkamer en toilet, de andere met een gedeelde badkamer en toilet. Het hele huis is brandschoon. De bedden zijn perfect. Het ontbijt zeer uitgebreid. Wij hadden ons geen betere gastvrouw en lokatie kunnen voorstellen. Prima internet/WiFi. Zeer stille omgeving. Ruime tuin met altijd een plekje zon of schaduw. We mochten overal gebruik van maken, kortom: een dikke 10 voor Evelien."
