Our stay at Strowan House 1 was beyond expectations. Rose our host met us on arrival and was most gracious in answering all our questions and helping us get settled with all our needs. Transportation to city centre by bus was outside our door, most convenient. The home was spotlessly clean and well stocked with all amenities such as towels and kitchen supplies. We would definitely stay again.
Perfect location for us. Easy walk to shops and airport a short ride away. House was very comfortable, lovely and had everything we needed. Highly Recommend Strowan House 1. Rose the owner was very helpful.
Rose and Graham could not have been more gracious and accommodating as we planned our stay in Christchurch. SH1 was perfectly situated for access from CHC airport upon arrival, and walkable to nearby cafe and restaurants, along w. a chemist. Easy distance to Merivale or Northlands for groceries and other provisions, and quick navigation to University of Canterbury and Riccarton Bush by car
What an amazing place to stay. Great location for what we needed and Rose the host was great. Property is lovely and it had everything you could need. Comfortable and relaxing. Will stay here again for sure
Great location bus from the airport dropped us at the door. Heating already on when we areived which was great as it was cold outside. Always happy staying here
Wonderful stay. Rose was fantastic with communication and we felt welcome. Property was very clean and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Will definitely be back.
Great house in a perfect location for our family visit to Christchurch, many thoughtful touches were greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay again if in Christchurch.
Loved our stay the accommodation was perfect, immaculately presented, awesome beds with the best sheets, highly recommend a stay here. Not far from the airport or city🙂
Easily accessible to the city, airport and surrounds
Wonderful house in a great location. Everything we needed was provided. Beautifully clean and well presented. Very good communication with owner. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Christchurch.
A thoroughly enjoyable stay. One of the best properties we have stayed in during our seven visits to Christchurch. Thanks Rose for making us so welcome.
Very nice property well presented and owners easy to deal with. Location great short ride from the airport and public transport in the doorstep. Great shops near by walling distance to get your morning coffee fix. Warm and comfortable
This property was perfect for our needs. It was a haven to come home to, after busy days sight-seeing. It is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped, and we appreciated the little extras that were provided. We were able to easily access the city each day. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a good week in Christchurch and it was great to have this clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped home as our base. Rose is very helpful and responsive. Second time staying in Strowan and would definitely return.
Rose was most helpful. Lovely warm home.
Happy to stay again

Thank you for recommending our property so highly Dave. It was our pleasure to host Lynda & yourself.
We came to Christchurch for 5 nights to watch a golf tournament. The location was great, the place is spacious, comfortable and Rose set it up so that we could have the 2 singles as a king in the bigger bedroom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hopefully we will return next time we’re in Christchurch.
Perfection. I'm a fairly heavy user of hotel chains, apartment rentals, and other forms of accomodations, and it's been a true delight to stay here for my Christchurch visit this week. Everything was amazing. Everything was lovely - even the rain and hail, seemed to make the stay more pleasant in this place.
We have stayed in many places but this one tops them all. Warm, well stocked with things you would need for your stay along with extras like a cupboard full of toys, soft comfy beds, Netflix, Sky, wifi, toiletries etc etc. Highly recommended. Great value. Gracious hosts.

Beautiful house in a great location, this property has it all !
We spent almost a week here and had a very enjoyable stay, the location is perfect. Everything you could possibly need was here and more. We were pleasantly surprised by all the little extra things that were included, like Body Wash and Shampoo in the bathroom, to all of the condiments, the breakfast cereals, tea, etc in the kitchen. All those little things you tend to forget were here, really making this a home away from home. We will definitely be coming back here on our next trip to New Zealand.

About the host
Hosted by Rose Duncan
I am now living my dream of providing stylish comfortable home away from home accomodation to travellers. Being a traveller myself, I can appreciate that clean comfortable accomodation with great internet access is absolutely paramount to the enjoyment of your stay. Then to fall into a lovely comfy bed after a busy day gets you well rested to do it all again tomorrow! Along with my husband Graeme, we enjoy getting our home prepared for guests arrival. We are both avid readers, enjoy cycling and walking and spending time with our grown-up family and grandchildren.
