This was our second stay at Penn's Retreat in just a few weeks.
We were very comfortable and warm with everything we needed. The kitchen is very well-equipped. There's a good range of teas plus coffee and muesli for breakfast. We also appreciated the homemade biscuits and milk on our arrival and the bottle of wine in the fridge.
The location is great - close to Merivale Mall, supermarket, etc yet very quiet.
I'm sure we'll be checking whether Penny's place is available next time we visit Christchurch.
