Haere Mai & Kia ora from your friendly hosts: Julie, Mura & Tane, our Newfoundland dog.

We offer visitors kiwi hospitality – the chance to meet real New Zealanders. Through the concept of manaakitanga, our challenge is to make your stay, at a Christchurch Bed and Breakfast, the very best of experiences.

Julie and Mura met at a Maori singing group. Respect for Maori culture is reflected in their waterfront home, with an amazing collection of art that will bring you into the fold of New Zealand’s people & culture.

Ātaahua is a Christchurch bed & breakfast located in a seaside, wildlife conservation reserve - a short drive to the city centre & airport. After a busy day, escape naturally with a truly unique N.Z. holiday experience, in one of our three delightful accommodation suites – each with its own special comfort & charm. You will enjoy peace & privacy in a spectacular natural environment.

Popular walking tracks surround Ātaahua – walk to Spencer Park beach, viewing birdlife along the way. Try your luck fishing or simply relax with a wine watching life on the lagoon – birds feeding, locals fishing or water skiing.

Lovers retreat: Christchurch couples treat themselves to a delicious meal at a nearby restaurant then spend quality time together – a sensuous soak in the spa & a romantic night away from the kids – close to home but a world away.

As a Civil Union Ceremony or Wedding venue, Ātaahua is simply stunning - pacific style ceremonies, with the lagoon waters gently lapping, followed by a honeymoon to remember.

If you want your stay away to be truly memorable, then skip the boring B & B, humdrum hotel or ghastly guesthouse & try a holiday experience with a difference, choose Ataahua Christchurch accommodation – you won’t be disappointed.
