Really enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed the house very much. The bed was warm and cosy, the fireplace in the lounge for the evening was welcome. The sun streaming in the kitchen in the morning was nice. Lots of personality in this house. We enjoyed the homemade jam too. Cheviot is well worth stopping and staying for longer. We cycled and hiked and will visit again.

Very nice transit
Very comfortable house. Nice garden, which our dog enjoyed - a truly "pet-friendly" house. We only stayed one night as it was a convenient overnight transit. Kitchen was very good, comfy lounge, many choices of bedroom. Host was excellent in terms of communication - very helpful and easy. It was lovely to stay here as the property was as advertised – I cannot say the same for other Bookabach properties. Before staying here, we stayed at a “Cottage” in Windwhistle (the Granary) that turned out to be 2 cottages conjoined by a paper-thin wall. Very noisy - neighbours clumping up and down creaky stairs next door, talking (you can hear everything), being woken up (at night and morning). Awful. This property is the opposite – very nice and no “surprises”.

Grans + grandkids school hols.
A lovely homely house, spacious, very clean, plus plenty of room for x3 boys and 2x active dogs. A beautiful garden - a special treat. Loved the extras. Sorry about our dogs not 'getting-on' with the two neighbouring dogs....they are a bit protective. Cheviot has a nice village feel. We all enjoyed the location to the coast/beach + Hanmer Springs.

Came to relax at Cadman Cottage
My partner, dog, and I needed to find somewhere to relax, close to Christchurch, after a few tough weeks. Cottage on Cadman was perfect. It is well appointed, warm and cosy, with a comfortable bed, a logburner, sunny back decking, and large section for the dog. We spent four very happy days, and spent time exploring locally. Would recommend it to others.

Lovely, cosy cottage
This cottage was perfect for an autumnal break. The fire made afternoon naps a real luxury when it was drizzly outside. It was so nice to bring our little dog too. I loved the décor - very kiwi and reminded me of holidays as a child. Recommend this spot for a chilled out, kiwi break.
