Despite a bit of trouble checking in (requires you to be able to make a phone call, not all overseas visitors can) I had a good stay. The host was very nice and once I checked in all was good. Flat was better than expected; partially a bit worn but very well functioning. I would stay there again :)

Great location for family visiting Christchurch for BMX while enjoying a beach holiday. Staff are approachable and responsive, clean towels provided during week. Kitchen could have done with a few extra utensils and some windows and furnishings could benefit from small repairs - nothing that impacted on usability or comfort of the apartment. We would book again!

Positive: Location next to the beach. Large sliding door facing the beach to open and let the ocean air in. Clean apartment. Plenty of parking. Check in was very easy. Cons: Beds weren’t very comfortable. Had no hot water one night. We had been out for half the day when we came back and the shower was cold. Not sure if the water heater malfunctioned or if it feeds more than just the one apartment. It worked the next day. Overall we chose this booking for its proximity to the beach and we were happy with the easy access. Would stay here again, but might bring our own mattress.
