Nice location, met by host, Cosy rooms, comfortable bed, nice breakfast was provided in our room which we made ourselves.

Downside of our stay:
Would not say they are luxury suites for paying $275 per night nothing outstanding, have stayed in more luxury accommodation for less 
The room next door guy smoking outside smoke smell drifting into our room and balcony had too sit inside with door closed on a hot summers day !!!!!

Expensive for what it was

We were greeted by Marilyn on arrival. She was very friendly and the location was beautiful. The room was lovely, very cosy with a subtle smell of lavender which was pleasant, kitchenette had everything we needed and the bathroom was nice. The bed was very comfy and the whole place was clean and tidy. However I have stayed in luxury accommodation for less which is why I gave 4/5 I can’t think of anything that stood out to make it worth the $275 we paid for one night.

Cute but overpriced

When we arrive owner Marilyn is greeting us. A very nice lady that shows us around. We are staying in the Creamery, where a food platter with very tasty food is waiting for us to give us some energy after the long flights from Europe. It's very homely, has a great bed (slept very well) and we get a breakfast hamper with eggs, cereal, yoghurt, bread, jams, etc. The place is located in the countryside, with beautiful views of the lands with sheep and hills. We told Marilyn that we really like her homemade and when we came back from our trip to Christchurch, there was a jar with her chutney waiting for us on the doorstep. Sweet!

Very nice homely stay!

What a great find really lovely place to stay. Nothing was too much trouble and the owners were always there to look after you. Excellent accommodation with everything to hand even down to cooking and barbecuing if we wanted. A truly tranquil place to stay and unwind in New Zealand.

Fabulous

A bit away from Christchurch but to visit Akaroa a bit closer. So, if you are in for both places this is a great place to stay. Rooms made in a old barn with everything you can expect. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and a nice bathroom. What more do you expect? 
Without doubt a great stay 

Great stay

We stayed there for two days and we enjoyed each minute there. It's a unique place designed by the owners who have a great sense for tastefully blending the old with the new. We stayed in a historical coach station. The lounge used to be the waiting room and you can see the writings from past passengers on the wooden walls.
Everything is so comfortable inside that we really felt like being home.
And by the way, it was absolutely clean and we didn't miss anything at all. Thank you for your warm-hearted welcome, Marilyn and  and Daniel Meyering from Cermany

Lovely stay

We had two nights in the Barn. Bed was very wobbly, sheets didn't look clean, towels like wooden planks, very rough. The breakfast consisted of a bowl of fresh eggs, bread, milk, honey and some squeezed tea bags in a jar. So no juices, no fruit, no yogurt. We had to buy that additionally in the supermarket in the next village.

Place was not clean (dead insects on windowpanes, dust everywhere, cob webs) and on top of that no fan or air conditioning although it was more than 30 degrees when we were there. Lots of musquitos during the night although we hadn't had the lights on with open windows. 'Didn't see owner anymore after our check in, very uninterested.

Looking out to a junkyard

Once but never again

Tai Tapu Lodge was a great place to stay.  The hosts were very helpful and the room was small but cosy with an ensuite containing everything a traveller needs.  There was a little sunny porch with table and chairs to sit and enjoy the birds, the sunshine, the view.  Very relaxing, highly recommended.
