Great gardens and morning tea! Visited 9/2/2020 with 20 other cyclists and friends from the Cashmere Rotary Club. Enjoyed a relaxing walk through the gardens followed by an excellent morning tea. Ron and Anne are amazing hosts! Highly recommended!

Cannot be faulted. We had an excellent one night stay at Cedar Park gardens. Should have stayed longer. We were well looked after; the breakfast was delicious; Ron and Anne were charming and interesting. The garden? Simply one of the best private gardens I have ever seen.

All too brief sojourn What a wonderful find! We started our NZ tour by staying in a B&B in the middle of Christchurch. Our travels were taking us back past Christchurch 10 days later on our way to Marlborough so we identified Cedar Park Gardens as a good place to break our journey. Boy, were we right! Ann provided a warm welcome when we arrived and Ron did the same when he returned shortly after. As luck would have it, we ended up eating at the same Indian restaurant in Rolleston later that evening and they gave us a lift back. The room was nicely furnished and a good size. The shower was good and the coffee and tea-making facilities were too. The gardens are a feature of the house and very much worth a viewing. Ann and Ron have put a lot of effort into the large garden and it certainly shows! Breakfast was superb. Plenty of fresh fruit and cereals were available and my cooked breakfast of omelette, hash browns and various home-grown tomatoes was delicious. Coffee, tea and toast were equally good. It’s a shame (for visitors, not Ann & Ron) that it’s so far from the centre of Christchurch but the hosts, the house and the breakfast make up for it. 5 stars from us!

An excellent bed and breakfast property Quiet, clean and very comfortable rooms in a beautiful garden setting. A warm welcome from the hosts, and a scrumptious breakfast. Easy to drive into the centre of Christchurch but you needn't do that to find a good meal in the evening. Very conveniently located if driving up from the south. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Visit by Fendalton Garden Club 38 members of Fendalton Garden Club enjoyed their visit to Cedar Park Gardens. Anne provided a lovely ample lunch with a gluten free option. It was raining but we were able to have lunch in her comfortable lounge and family room. There were plenty of seats. When the rain cleared we enjoyed strolling around her large garden. There are a lovely selection of shrubs and perennials, formal hedging and an impressive vegetable garden. Many members bought plants and homemade jams and chutneys. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Wonderful BB We stayed here for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Anne and Ron are superb and gracious hosts, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was very comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious, beautifully prepared and served. Coming from the northern hemisphere, we were delighted to learn about the southern sky from Ron, and made good use of his lessons and the app he told us about when we got to Lake Tekapo. We also enjoyed perusing their books about New Zealand, enhancing our understanding of this beautiful country. We arrived in Rolleston after a five day cycling tour on the Alps2ocean trail, and we really appreciated being able to wash our cycling clothes, and hang them on the line to dry in their beautiful garden.

WOW! Without any doubt the best accommodation we experienced during our month in New Zealand. Ann and Ron are brilliant hosts and the attention to detail in our lovely room was 5 star on it's own! We enjoyed a wonderful evening, enjoying great food and sharing stories, they made us feel at home like long lost friends. The beautiful gardens were just the icing on the cake. 100% recommended.

Stayed for one night . . . Should've stayed longer My partner Claire and I stayed at this delightful B&B, sadly for one night only, as from the moment we arrived, we realised we should've stayed longer If you want a quiet, comfortable and relaxing few days away from the humdrum of everyday life then this is the place to go Our hosts Ann and Ron, were delightful in every way possible, providing us with local information and maps to guide us They recommended we stop at a beautiful little gallery over at Little River en route to Akaroa, which we did and really enjoyed. Breakfast the next day was divine, freshly cooked and nothing it seems is too much trouble for this delightful couple - Thanks Ann and Ron John and Claire

It was a great decision to stay here! Ann and Ron were extremely helpful hosts, giving us lots of tips about where we should visit, based on what we like doing. Ron lent us several books and maps to use while we were there. Their garden is simply stunning and the rooms was very comfortable. We opted to take evening meals with our hosts. This was an excellent choice - we really enjoyed the food (which contained plenty of salad and vegetables) and the company.

Amazing visit Ann & Ron were wonderful hosts who made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The gardens are also to die for, even in bad weather (which we had while there). Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful, secluded place to stay.
