The apartment was perfect for us - ideal size, clean, well equipped, lovely outdoor balcony to sit and enjoy the peace and sunshine. Clare and Bruce were excellent hosts, very friendly, responsive to messages, and attentive with an issue that was quickly resolved. Nothing was too much trouble.
The supermarket is a 5 minute drive away and it’s a 10 minute drive into the centre of town. There are several good local cafes/restaurants and bakeries to choose from. The Birdwood Cafe is very family friendly with delicious food. We were frequent visitors at St Martin's Bohemian Bakery too!
The apartment is at the foot of the Port Hills with its stunning walks along the crater rim and good mountain bike tracks. The beautiful coastline at Taylors Mistake / Godley Head is a 30 minute drive away.
We were in Christchurch for 3 weeks to see family who have moved to the local area and the apartment very much became home from home for us. Highly recommended and we'd definitely stay there again.
