Travellers Retreat welcomes you to stay where a practical location meets breath taking backdrop, and it’s all about the company you keep! Your hosts, Fiona and Marcus have lived locally long enough to help you experience all Christchurch has to offer, coupled with well-appointed rooms and a beautiful garden to help you feel refreshed during your stay. The retreat is situated close to the international airport and all public amenities so whether you are travelling or planning a move, let us welcome you to Christchurch in comfort.
Besides meeting people, Marcus and I have a passion for the great outdoors and the beautiful landscape we enjoy in New Zealand’s South Island. We want to help you feel relaxed in our comfortable, Fraemohs home and to share in our dream of owning a bed and breakfast that offers people a little bit more. So come and join us in the garden on quiet evenings for a drink and good conversation.
