    Chester Oaks is a lovely, peaceful place. Jasmine and Michael were very friendly and provided an exceptional welcome. They maintained an excellent balance of being friendly, but not intrusive, hosts. Thank you we’ll be back.

Since the moment you enter the gate of Chester Oaks, you surround by the trees and native plants of New Zealand. Literally, you live in a natural oxygen bar but only 10 minutes away from all the convenience of the city.
Sharing our beautiful home with people from all over the world has been a privilege. Fitting in an environment with different language and cultures was challenging. I have learned different cultures and customs from our guests which have helped me be more culturally appropriate in daily life. I am always excited to hear great feedback from our guests who appreciate my healthy cuisine, our peaceful environment and our help with local information on their request. It’s fascinating to share our guests’ interesting and amazing stories which could provide a writer materials of wisdom and graceful paragraph (of course their stories are not for sharing with anyone else). Also, we are fundraising for someone we care by using the extra income. Music, cooking, gardening, reading, movies and being active are my interests and hobbies. Going for a walk, gardening, watching a movie or cycling etc on my day off makes me content and relax. We consider a discount request with a genuine reason (reference required). Looking forward to meeting you.
Our accommodation is located in the rural area, although 10-20 minutes away from city/city centre. It’s convenient to everywhere, such as supermarket, theatre, zoo, horse riding, golf club and walking tracks. I will be available to be your local guide on your request (need to be arranged in advance, and a car will be provided with extra cost). Facial beauty and massage therapy can be arranged as well (need to be arranged in advance). There are quite a few famous restaurants in local or in town, not far from here. Tennis court available off site, walking distance with 10 minutes.
