I loved my stay here. The room is in a grand old dame of a house, beautifully and intricately decorated with wood panelling throughout, and was very spacious and comfortable. I could tell by the level of care and detail that was put into the room, such as the breakfast provided, coffee, fridge, utensils etc., that the owners really go out of their way to make their guests feel comfortable and welcome. It was a pleasure meeting with and talking with the hosts, and the bed was particularly comfortable - the electric blanket was more than welcome during my winter-time visit. It is also a short walk away from the centre of town, with a regular bus route nearby just in case it is needed. The standalone bath tub was also really cool! I would very much liked to have stayed longer!

The room temperature is not enough high during mid winter when we stayed in August .

A verry beautiful heritage house well renovated and restored.

The bathroom was a little cold & echo-ey, but clean & tidy none the less.

Time restraints meant I couldn't have breakfast, but from what I saw the room was well stocked with everything needed for an excellent morning feed.

I'm a really light sleeper so I could hear the road noises at night. The bathroom and toilet across the hall is quite chilly during winter.

We didn't venture much around the heritage building as we arrived late, spent a night and checked out the very next day. The room was really neat & warm with heater, bed has electric blanket and comfy, the continental breakfast included was a bonus. Very happy with our stay at Everest on High.

Another lamp in the room would have been useful as it was quite dark, especially near the table.

I don't eat a big breakfast so the supplies provided were perfect for me. Given the accommodation isn't purpose built I was very surprised and happy with how thoughtfully every need had been accommodated. The renovated parts of the house are beautiful and I'll be keen to see the house again when it has been completed. The location was also perfect, very close to where I needed to be.

The bathroom is enormous and chilly, especially during the night. The old-fashioned bathtub, which I personally found charming, is very high and could be challenging to get into for people with some mobility problems.

I loved the authentic, atmospheric feeling of this historic house, which the owners are gradually restoring to its old splendour. The room is very big and comfortable (there is a heater and electric blankets), and it is possible to use the kitchen to wash the dishes. The bathroom is on the other side of the corridor, but as the owners sleep upstairs, it is still very private space, especially at night. Free parking in front of the house is very easy.

The bathroom and toilet is across the hall where in Booking.com it was mentioned private bathroom.

The bed was comfy. Free continental breakfast.

There was no one at the premises when I arrived. He had not arrived by the time I went out for dinner. Fortunately I had saved the number on my phone and the owner directed me up the outside stairs to a door where I keyed in the code he gave me to enter. I then carried my bag down the inside stairs to the other side of the front door. Had I known, I would have left my bag outside the front door and collected it once I had found my room. My private bathroom was across the corridor by the front door.

Lovely old homestead. The location was perfect for my needs. I was catching a bus to Christchurch in the morning and the bus stop to get to the depot was a very short walk up the road. The breakfast was conveniently located in the fridge of my bedroom. All in all, the stay met my needs.
