Awesome!

The house was amazing and really the perfect spot to unwind throughout the busy weekend we had. It’s also situated in a perfect spot, 15 mins away from town and in the suburb plenty of shops that are in walking distance. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Would love to stay here again on my next visit down to Christchurch 😁

Perfect for us

Anne's house was perfect for us as we wanted to be near to friends who live nearby. When we arrived we couldn't believe how spacious the property was how well equipped and spotlessly clean. It was a total delight and Anne was very responsive to any messages. We really couldn't have asked for anything more.
