The space This is a very quaint house in a quiet street. It gets beautiful sun all year round, the comes through in the winter and goes over the house in summer. It has a full house water filter, heat pump with air con and heating and a coffee machine, Netflix, prime and sky. There is a seated BBQ area in the middle of the street as well as a BBQ on the deck inside the house. It’s a lovely place to get away and recharge. A two minute walk to the local pub and pizza shop (and alcohol store) as well as just a stones throw to the beach entrance. There is the potential to sleep 8. A master room with on suite and walk in closet, then a smaller room with a queen bed down the hall way with a toilet and 2nd bathroom next to it, then a children's room with a king single trundler bed that has a single bed that can pull out. The couch in the lounge can fold out to a double easily and you can keep the sheets on it through the day while you fold it back up. There is potential to house a person in the garage also as it is carpeted and full curtain though it is hot in summer in there. You can park out the back of the house upon arrival and enter via the back, with two parks right outside the house also.
Guest access Smart lock at the back entrance with a private code. You will need to internally lock the doors and exit this way each time you leave the house so that locking is keyless. If you need to go round the front to get in the car, you will need to do so via the pathway down the side of the house after locking. If you book a long stay a key can be arranged.
Other things to note I built and lived in the house for 9 years prior to Air b and b ing it. I love this house, there are some beautiful memories in this house of fun beach holidays, biking round in my togs, bbqs on the deck and Christmas dinners made in the kitchen. I have had 12 people stay for up to a week and hosted 20 on Christmas Day. It’s a lovley place to rest and relax and the vibe in the house is just beautiful. My favourite things is to watch netflix and do a gym session in the evening and then some pizza for dinner from lake pizza (voted best in canterbury and it wont let you down) sometimes I go for a walk around the lake in the evening with the dog

Megan was amazing to deal with, she replied promptly and accommodated my large family perfectly. The house was clean, well presented and warm in the chilly nights. I’d definitely stay again if available next time.
We had a lovely stay here.it was a great base for exploring the Christchurch region and was a home away from home. The beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen and laundry had everything we needed. We enjoyed a short walk down to the park and lake, and Lake Pizza is highly recommended!
Enjoyed our stay, kids friendly, spacious, quiet place and still close enough to the city and supermarkets 3 minutes drive to Woodend. Perfect location, and it was a vety warm and cozy house.
The name says it all, great location, very clean and tidy, lots of things for evening entertainment for the kids, easy stay, would definitely come back to this as awesome property

It was very handy to where we needed to be easy access
This was such a lovely stay for our whānau for just over a week. It is very easy for it to feel like home and has all amenities etc that you may need. The only slight negative is the traffic through woodend when you are trying to go anywhere but other than that it is perfect!

Thank opal. I’m happy you and your whanau had a lovley time. I know the traffic is such a pain but yesterday they announced the woodend bypass will be built which goes right into Pegasus 😊
This property suited me and my family extremely well. It's been easy to book, accessible and the communication with the host was easy and casual. It truly felt like a home.
Even though there had been a problem with the previous occupant, the owner went above and beyond to ensure the property was cleaned and ready for us. This is a lovely property with everything you need for a great stay. Very close to Pegasus Lake and amenities.
Host was very clear and concise with check-in and checkout details. Home had everything a large or small groups needs, very comfortable with ample amenities. 3 minute walk to a great restaurant on the lake kept cooking to a minimum. Highly recommend this host and home within a lovely area.
