INTREPID Bed and Breakfast Christchurch

"Called for room availability on the day of arrival and luckily got a room with one double bed and one single bed for our stay. Shared house with landlord and other long-term guests. Glen was nice. The accommodation cost paid directly to him was much lower than booking on the other websites. No extra cost for my kids aged 2y and 4y. He even accepted payment in AUD which helped us a lot. Oven, Kitchenetten, dishwashers are available. No extra charge for washing machine& dryer usage. He offered free food such as onions, apples, eggs, bananas and garlics. Breakfast cooked by ourselves and options are either flakes with milk or toasts with jams. Location is good, driving distance is 30mins from the airport and free parking is possible on site. We met the clean lady on the day of checkout. So the cleanliness is quiet ok. 對長途旅行的自駕者而言，這是一個很不錯的補給站。"

"Disgusting place. Cook your own breakfast which was toast, eggs, and/or baked beans. No milk for tea or coffee, the owner is up at 2am doing laundry etc. Not a B & B in my books. Bedrooms are cramped, and the bedding is smelly and old. Not an experience I want anyone to share."

"Great stay, we spent 3 nights there. Peaceful, clean, warm. Generous, and comfortable. Glen is kind, and really helpful. Oh and bed was amazing! Recommended."

"I am travelling alone and had high expectations to stay at this B&B and was eager to stay there, as I thought it would be a highlight of my stay in Christchurch. Unfortunately, I was put in a very stressful situation, because Glen, the owner, cancelled my two-day stay on the morning of my arrival with the following message: "Good Morning Mariana David This is a VERY IMPORTANT message concerning the accommodation reservation you made on March 1st 2023 via the Booking Com website , Regrettably on this occasion I am now unable too offer you accommodation on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th March . Reason being I have very elderly friends from Wellington that at short notice advised me that they are arriving this evening for the next eight days too visit their daughter and grand children . I suggest that you promptly contact the friendly team at Booking Com Customer service in order that they can assist you to source suitable alternative accommodation in Christchurch. Kind Regards Glen Proprietor Intrepid Bed and Breakfast Christchurch" I replied asking if we could work on some kind of resolution together because I had no guarantee that Booking would be able to help me on time, I needed a place to stay and all the available alternatives were much more expensive and that would be complicated to handle for a solo traveler. I got no further response from the property. They simply don't seem to care that their negligent management of bookings affects and stresses the guest and are in no way available or interested in helping you. If you want to have a good and stress-free NZ experience, I advise you to avoid this place, as apparently I'm not the only One who had this kind of experience (it seems like I was actually lucky that I was warned a few hours in advance)."

"Booking cancelled last minute, due to private guest. If your place is so exclusive, please don't put it on third party to help you manage your booking. Thanks to the cancellation my plans and everything got ruined. Thank you for being such wonderful as host."
