We absolutely loved staying here! We booked this home for one night on our travels through the country and were so sad we didn’t have more time here. The house was so comfy, cozy, clean, and relaxing! Callum and Lucy were amazing hosts with plentiful recommendations for maximizing our time in Christchurch.

Lovely place and host!
Everything about our stay in Christchurch was perfect! Lucy was a very welcoming and accommodating host and her place was modern, clean, and very comfortable. We loved the location for being able to walk to the grocery store and a couple of eateries, too. Lucy was also very helpful in recommending activities for our short stay!

Like a hotel-suite in a leafy street
I loved staying at Roker Retreat. It was perfect for my business trip. So beautifully furnished and clean. It’s like a posh hotel suite in the suburbs ! The bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept so well here. No traffic noise and great blinds.
Plus I like the desk space and small area to make breakfast and heat some dinner.
I’ll be back. Thank you so much!

Fantastic accommodation in Christchurch
Highly recommend this awesome accommodation in Christchurch. We were in Chch during the coldest month of the year and we were toasty warm in this lovely studio. It had everything we needed and was the perfect size for us. Super close and convenient to the city, heaps of free parking and the hosts Lucy and Callum were just lovely.

Classy Gem - perfection!
My husband and I had a fabulous mini-break in Christchurch last weekend.
Lucy's retreat was so inviting and beautifully appointed. we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
Close enough to walk to town - in fine weather - and in a beautiful quiet street.

A place of calm in the city
Needing a 1 bedroom place to stay well then this retreat is perfect!
Situated behind a beautiful bungalow with plenty of off street carparking is this gorgeous newly built 1 beddy with double glazing to keep the cool nights at bay. The whole place is spacious with plenty of room to spread out and relax. There's no minimum nights stay so that's a bonus for 1 nights stay. The owners are wonderful and cater to all your needs, especially late arrival. 😀 fantastic place to stay and will be kept on my list for the future.
