One bathroom not two as advertised on Bookabach
Had to request more towels, rubbish bags, more glasses and cutlery - not a top standard of cleaning - had to clean back of a chair, some pillows not changed so disappointing when we were travelling with overseas visitors. All requests were dealt with efficiently - lack of second bathroom very inconvenient. Enjoyed the location however, close to great shopping centre, and enjoyed the garden - nice areas for BBQ and for relaxing.

Nice Apartment in Good Location, Great Garden
A family of four visiting friends in Christchurch, the was perfect for our stay - being both central to the wider city and easy walking distance to Merivale. The apartment is down a drive off Leinster Road and looks small from the outside but is surprisingly spacious and has everything you need - apart from maybe Sky TV. Its comfortable, quiet and well maintained. Two great features are the garden with large, covered outdoor seating area and the covered clothes drying line.
