This was a great stay. The house was very clean and has plenty of room. Of course the view from the deck and living room is amazing. I highly recommend it! Downsides were that the driveway is really steep and hard to get in and out of. There were a couple of things missing from the kitchen that we could have used, like oven mitts. Other than that, it's fantastic and only 10-15 minutes away from downtown Christchurch.
Perfect place to stay, spotless accommodation, plenty of room for two, comfortable bed, walk in wet room, walk in wardrobe , well equipped kitchen area, fridge, microwave etc. TV for entertainment and close to plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars. The area is quiet, which suited us, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
School holiday catchup with family who live in Christchurch and family from Auckland who came down for Auckland anniversary weekend.
The chickens were the highlight for both the grandchildren (who stayed mid week) and the Auckland family.
Quick access to the Scarbough playground, water play area and the beach excellent as grandchildren are aged 4 and 6 years.
Corrianders Indian restaurant fabulous food highly recommend. The Bohemium bakery has good variety of freashly baked artisan bread. Auckland family loved the ham & cheese, chocolate and almond croissants.
Check in with Kim easy, directions accurate. So pleased excellent turning area for the vehicle. Thanks for the kale to feed the chickens. We also found the leftover pasta and bread pieces they enjoyed.
Excellent place for the variety of ages. Auckland family loved the views and warmth of the house.
Several areas in the house where different aged family members could relax. Inspirational glasshouse and vegetable garden.
The apartment is like an artists loft. Lovely views, there are houses in front but you still have sweeping views of the estuary. The art will keep you entertained. Everything you need for a great stay. Take your own beach towels. Do the walk at Taylor’s mistake, or wander round Mt Pleasant. Go to Sumner and The Tannery.
Ideal spot to rest up following surgery, peaceful, beautiful view. Handy to Ferrymead shops and not far from Sumner. Great bus route. Excellent hosts. A few handy groceries left in the kitchen, we left heaps for next guests as we flew home. Plenty of bedding, most comfy beds. Good cooking utensils. Totally recommend as the serene view and sun streaming in totally enhanced my daughters well-being (& mine). Thank you Darren & Natalia
