Close to Riccarton Mall
With three toilets and a games room, this place was perfect for our whānau. Good sized bedrooms and an outdoor area. The best part is it is close to Riccarton Mall (walking distance). Kids loved Alexa lol. Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend with family
We had a great stay, thank you. The town house is very warm and comfortable. A bonus is the games room where the boys were able to sneak off to play a bit of fifa. :)
