Lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. This hotel is an example of what a hotel should be. Great location to explore the city and little touches - chocolates, turned down beds and a teddy bear left a very warm feeling for us. Thank you.

My extended family stayed for a week at the Bond Estate over the Christmas 2023 period and we had the most marvellous, wonderful stay imaginable, My daughter got married a few miles away and we used the place a venue to get ready and have photographs taken; it was magical. Everything was perfect, from the fantastic, exotic swimming pool and jacuzzi to the outstanding full-on Bar-B-Que. The kitchen was incredibly well appointed and the coffee machine was a real luxury. The place was so well equipped that we comfortably hosted her new in-laws for a full on good, old fashioned English Christmas Dinner. The GIANT projector screen and selection of movies was an absolute delight, (Love Actually on Christmas day has never looked so good), the Tennis court was brand new and saw many a hotly contested rally. (You CAN be serious !!) Tracy (the facility manager) was always available; discreet yet accommodating in every way and a real plus for the premises. (Shout out for Shaun and Rhys the resident friendly Shoats, (Google it ! )) If you are thinking of staying on the outskirts of Christchurch and you want a little luxury in your life then you need look no further than the Bond Estate... we will CERTAINLY be returning.

Wow, where do I even begin? The hosts, Angie and Maz and Eric, the cat, were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were absolutely spotless and so comfortable—it felt like staying in a dream. If you're a fan of historic houses, this place is a must-visit. The garden is truly one of the most stunning I’ve ever seen—the view from the houses elevated location, totally breathtaking. Staying here felt like being part of something special, with the best hosts and the most extraordinary house I’ve ever experienced. Don’t hesitate—this is perfection!

    This is a nice hotel but not 5 stars. We only stayed a night. Staff were very friendly and location good but I don’t think worth the money
