lovely place to stay, but it would be nice if there was a small table and two chairs as eating meals balanced on your knees is not ideal. Also, something to sit on outside would be good.
Everyone was really happy with the choice of accommodation and would be keen to book again next time we are in Christchurch. It was clean and well presented with in easy access to nearby amenities. We were happy after a hard day's racing to come back to a warm comfortable place to stay.
Stayed here for a couple of nights at the start of a little road trip. House was as described, clean, warm (heat pump in main room that was enough for us although there were heater in each of the bedrooms as needed) and had a well equipped kitchen. Couple of minor maintenance issues reported so they can be fixed for future visitors but didn’t disturb our stay.
We enjoyed our stay at this property and found everything to be very tidy, clean and neat. The property was in a great location, to access everywhere in Christchurch city and the street was lovely and quiet. Communication was fantastic from the property owner. My husband did find the beds firmer than he preferred. The only thing that let this property down is not being told before we arrived that the laundry was outside. We had to walk around the side of the house to access it and got wet when it rained while doing the washing.
