Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Perfect, walking distance to where we held the 21st, and around the corner from the other property we booked. Great heating, warm, spacious and plenty of bathrooms.
Due to no parking spot, it's not convenience for the guest who drive the car. The are no fully blocked blinds in the bathroom.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The actual house is really nice and was very clean. The problem was that there is a bar right next door. They play music until 3am on Saturday night. As the house in in a part of town zoned for businesses there is nothing you can do. It was so loud there was no way to sleep. It was not stated that this was the case. We were pretty close to moving to a hotel at 1am. I spoke with the owner and they said they could give me a discounted stay in the future. As I am not planning to come back to Christchurch this is obviously useless.
