Our primary reason for staying there was location and that worked out very well. But, the level of super helpful service and support by the owners was excellent - well beyond what we would normally expect from this kind of establishment. Super friendly and super helpful. We are very grateful. Facilities were well appointed, comfortable and convenient. The policy of limiting the total number of guests and providing a lot of space between rooms is a terrific idea. The shared facilities (kitchen etc) and both the inside and outside access to eating and sitting areas were excellent.

The excellent location overlooking Lyttleton harbour and working port. Frank was very welcoming and an excellent host. He supplied us with home grown tomatoes from his green house and advised us on what to see locally. You can see the Time Ball Tower from the terraces. Own access to bedroom from the outside large terraces, and as we were the only couple staying we had access to the whole of the ground floor area including kitchen, tv room and laundry room. The towels were changed on a daily basis. The owners of the B&B built the property from scratch and have paid a lot of attention to detail, very homely.

The bed was a little firm and small compared to what we are personally used to.

Harbour lodge is located at an elevated position in Lyttelton, quite easy to find, (with GPS). On arrival I was greeted by Frank who gave a tremendous introduction to Lyttelton and its facilities and good eating places. the Lodge was very clean, great facilities and is a friendly place. the view from the room window was spectacular, the room had a sliding door to the timber decked garden area

there is nothing to dislike about Harbour Lodge

I can’t begin to describe how amazing it is here. I have travelled quite a bit and this is probably my fave air BnB ever. Jenny and Frank are so welcoming and Jenny goes above and beyond to make your stay the best it can be. So kind and lovely people . Thank you for everything

Great location high on a hill overlooking the port. Clean comfortable well laid out kitchen great stock loved the rice cooker well thought out with a personal touch. Met at the door by the host and very friendly and helpful. A must for a stay in Lyttelton.

All was exceptional. No faults

The hosts Frank and Jenny were unbelievably wonderful. I had a slight injury and Frank ferried us to and fro to allow me to recuperate The accomodation was spacious brilliantly set up with the most wonderful views over the Lytteton harbour. And the sweetest wee dog.

We liked everything

this entire experience was so wonderful. we were a weary group of travelers and we needed great food, laundry facilities and comfort. What we got were incredibly thoughtful hosts, a ride to dinner to an amazing restaurant, spectacular views and outstanding amenities. Frank and Jennie are so thoughtful and this lodge with the beautiful views, garden and special touches in the kitchen like fruit and cereal and milk just made our stay spectacular.

The location, close and walkable to town. Exceptional view. Friendly owner. Quirky things like resident seagull. Heater on so warm and comfortable.

Maybe the entrance driveway. It was very tight to negotiate in car.

Jenny and Frank were fantastic hosts, very welcoming, always prepared to go the extra mile, and Obi the dog was a delight! Great location, view spectacular, and facilities first class!

Nothing

View, location, nice clean room.

The room is much smaller than descibed, 16 sqm (plus 3 sqm bathroom) instead of 25 sqm. Kitchen is clean, spacious and well equipped, but it is a shared kitchen.
