Very comfortable, spotlessly clean accommodation, very hospitable hosts, generous evening drinks and always some interesting conversation. Breakfasts, too, are something special. Both Fay and Stephen were extremely helpful in assisting us with our route planning over to the West Coast and down to the Sounds (overnighting in... More

This was the most enjoyable experience. Beautiful, spacious, very clean house with covered pool. Garden, country air. Hosts were very kind and PM guest hour with wine was most relaxing. Best memories. More

We stayed with Fay & Stephen for 3 nights in January 2012. They were excellent hosts, making us feel so welcome in their lovely home. The accommodation was of high quality and the breakfasts were superb. We really enjoyed their company and would recommend this B&B to anyone planning to spend time in Christchurch. More

Faye & Steven know how to make guests feel welcome. My boyfriend & I adored this picturesque B&B. Throughout our one night stay, Faye offered tea & cookies, a glass of wine while watching the rugby world cup, and prepared the indoor hot tub for a quick dip before bed. Beautiful & immaculate. You will feel as though you are... More

Menteith Country House far surpassed my expectations. My time there was very peaceful and although in the country is just 20 minutes from Christchurch Airport. Hosts Fay and Stephen provide beautifully designed accomodation where every window captures a view. They maintain immaculate standards throughout. It is easy to see that hospitality and guest comfort is their gifting and a priority.... More

We stayed with Fay and Stephen in the beginning of April 2011. We had a fabulous stay. They let us check in early as our flight arrived early in the morning and we were exhausted from traveling. The house was absolutely beautiful with beautiful surroundings. It is about 20 minutes from the airport and downtown Christchurch but felt removed from... More

The BEST homecooked breakfast during our South New Zealand's stay! Great, wonderful and helpful hosts (Fay and Stephen) who had made good recommendations for places to visit during our stay at their house and also those not-to-be-missed stop-over 'sight-seeing places' during our drive to our next destination. Such a BEAUTIFUL home with very nicely furnished, well-kept, cosy, clean and well... More

We stayed with Fay and Stephen at the start and end of our visit to South Island. They are generous hosts who have a wealth of knowledge and ideas on how to get the best from a trip to NZ. Their home is beautiful - lovely rooms and delicious breakfasts. The hot tub was a welcome addition after a long... More

There are no words to describe our stay at Mentieth. Faye and Stephen are now part of our lives forever. This has been an experience we will never forget. The accomodations were unsurpassed, so comfortable, homey and relaxing. Thank you Mentieth, we look forward to coming back soon. More
