We enjoyed our stay. The home was warm, clean and comfortable. We really appreciated how close it was to the green grocers. The host went the extra mile with fruit and bottled water. We felt the only things missing were tea bags and salt and pepper.
We had a very comfortable five-night stay at this great wee house. We loved sitting in the sun on the deck and in the big garden, and made good use of the office area. It was super handy to the airport and local shops and amenities. Excellent shower too! Communication with Carmen was amazing from start to finish. All up, we would happily stay again and recommend it for anyone looking for a comfy base in Christchurch.
I had organised a geriatric girl’s road trip for my sister and a group of knitters/crafters, Racecourse Villa being the Christchurch leg. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. There was plenty of space for all 9 of us in this lovely property, clean and tidy, everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone.
A fabulous property for our family. It has everything you need. A great location to the city, Hornby shops, Riccarton mall and dress smart. Great contact by the owners. It is close to a main road however it is easy to get in and out when you understand the road.
