Helpful and friendly staff on check in. Convenient to walk or use the bus to Christchurch with a bus stop outside. Very nice room though a little small for a double but ok for one night.

Gin gives you a “welcome home” greeting so sincerely and warmly that it actually feels real. The place is lovely, fun, beautiful, cozy, and a great location for walking to town or the lovely shops nearby. Wonderful value and great way to experience NZ hospitality.

The hosts and staff went above and beyond to fulfill our needs. The room was extremely clean, fresh and welcoming. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in any hotel we have stayed in across Africa and Europe. An unforgettable stay for 11 nights.

The photograph on the website make it appear that you will stay in the stately main building. Instead we stayed in what is best described as a drab, mid century motel unit with kitchenette next to a main road.

Der Aufenthalt im Merivale Manor war perfekt, um nach einem langen Flug in Christchurch anzukommen. Wir konnten sogar etwas früher einchecken. Maree und Grant sind herzliche Gastgeber, die uns mit allerhand Tipps für unsere Neuseeland-Reise versorgt haben. Vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundlichkeit!
