Richard and Eiko were extremely hospitable. We loved the extra care and attentiveness that was offered to us during our 30 day stay. Fresh linen and towels were offered every other day. The amenities were modern and worked perfectly ,including WiFi and TV. The property was kept immaculate at all times. Richard was extremely helpful when we needed recommendations and directions. He is very responsive and quick to address our needs. They have a super cute and friendly dog name Tofu whom we had a very hard time saying goodbye to. We would definitely recommend Richard’s place to anyone who’s looking to stay in the Christchurch and Banks Peninsula area.
