What I liked about staying at this property was the flow of the rooms and the lovely outdoor spaces that I made use of. The interior is starting to show a bit of wear and tear in places and probably due for some upkeep and maintenance in the not too distant future but all in all, a nice place to stay. The parking was great and the situation suited me for getting around all areas of Christchurch which is a fairly compact city.I gave the hosts 5 stars because, even though there was a problem at the start with them making an unauthorised deduction from my credit card, when I pointed it out they were prompt and respectful in apologising and owning the problem...so full credit for great customer service. They have also gone on to be very helpful in finding and having my jacket returned to me.

A great house for our family for our short stay in Christchurch. Clean and tidy with lots of space. Having two toilets is always an added bonus. A perfect location especially for events at Christchurch Adventure Park. Would highly recommend
