Very comfortable
We enjoyed our stay here. It was comfortable, the kitchen made it very easy with children as it was well equipped. Our grands lied being able to be outside and we didn’t have to worry as the yard is fenced. Communication was very easy, very responsive when we had a question during our stay. I would recommend for families or a group of friends.

A great place to stay for the whole family
The house has everything we need.... spacious, clean, warm, good WiFi, and quiet. The team that manages this property is friendly and efficient. Very responsive. Great back yard - big enough for us to play with our 2 dogs - a Lab and a German Shepherd. We will definitely stay here again next time when we visit chch.

Convenient location and great for dogs
My husband and I enjoyed a week long stay and we’re so happy our well behaved dogs could join us on our trip. The gated back yard was great and it was convenient to drive any direction in Christchurch. The house was warm with the two heat pumps and there were many bedrooms which would be great for groups (we were just two people so only used one). Great off street parking but does back on to a narrow road. Was quiet in the evening and bed comfortable.
A little more attention to cleaning detail would have been appreciated as there was some leftover debris on the oven door and a light bulb missing from the main light in the master bedroom so we were unable to use that room and could reach to change it. The shower is a tight squeeze but had good pressure. The front door security camera was a little uncomfortable but is there for safety purposes.
Overall a great comfortable stay and would recommend. Would stay again.
