We stayed here as a group travelled to attend the event. Communication with the owner was great and prompt and the location was perfect for our stay. The only disappointment was that the spa advertised in the listing was unavailable during our stay. Overall, we still had a good stay.Thanks Ohana

Thank you for the 5-star review. Glad our communication was prompt and the location suited your group. I’m sorry the spa was unavailable during your stay — I understand that was disappointing and we’re working to reduce any future downtime. Glad you still had a good stay, and we’d love to host you again.

Great place!

This Ohana house was perfect for what we need for our staff team work retreat. We needed a place big enough that would suit the different needs of families with young kids. The house was beautiful, clean and great for little ones. We very much enjoyed our short stay and look forward to hopefully come back again!

Bel-Air experience

We had a wonderful stay as a large group of friends celebrating a couple of life’s milestones in style with a chef preparing and creating a special surprise degustation dinner. It catered for our large group perfectly. And a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Fantastic house

Really great house with great facilities for a large family or group but can see why they are so strict on the house rules about noise given the proximity of the neighbours to the outdoor living area. The only thing that wasn't made clear was that the 6th bedroom is accessed through another bedroom. However, we had a great stay and would book again if in the area.

Enjoy stay in Bel Air Mansion, Riccarton

We enjoyed staying in Bel Air Mansion. The house is very big, clean. The kitchen is good and complete. The billiard table is good we can have fund playing billiard there. The host is responsive. Only one point that the hot water was not running about 10:15pm until 6:30am, which some of us cannot take shower during that time. After we sent message on 6:15am, the hot water was running again about 6:30am. Overall was good.

Just fell short

A few things to be aware of before you book. The central heating was not working, and the house is large so it’s needed. The property managers weren’t helpful on arrival to get it working. Someone came the next day but had no luck. I think this was connected to the heated towel rails also not working. The outdoor fireplace only works (20 min at a time) if you press the ignition button along with using a light and match. Its must be an old fireplace. The flames were coming out a bit too far as well. The kitchen is not well equipped for the size of the house. The odd mouse was seen running around the kitchen. Also note the spa pool is at the front near the road, not on the deck as the photos. It’s a bit weird and cold run to the house.
