So, our quick stop during the honeymoon led us to this slick spot in Christchurch! Flew in from Auckland for the TranzAlpine train and snagged this cozy VRBO for the night. Clean as a whistle and well looked after – it was an instant win.
Tucked away in Upper Riccarton, this fresh 2-bedroom, 2-story pad was privacy mixed with convenience. Our host had our backs with a sweet welcome packet, loaded with local tips and emergency deets – total lifesaver.
Inside? Let's talk luxury! Those queen beds with sheets from a fancy hotel? Ah-mazing. The bathroom felt swanky too, with its high-tech bidet and tiled shower.
The place was a design dream! Light-filled living space with a smart TV and a kitchen loaded with everything (even the basics like oil and spices). But hey, if you're down for eating out, Westfield Riccarton and Riccarton Road's food scene were a short stroll away.
Check-in? Piece of cake, thanks to Carebnb. And a free EV car charging spot? Pretty rad, even if we didn't use it. The hosts were all about making our stay epic.
Bottom line? This spot is comfort and convenience wrapped in one. Whiz by for a quick stay or camp out for a bit longer – this Riccarton retreat is a modern haven with top-notch vibes.
