We (retired couple) stayed at this wonderful oasis for two months, My/June 2022. Jill is a caring host, always there if you need advice, without intruding on your privacy. The apartment was very clean and tidy. Excellent shower and comfortable bed. Kitchen is tiny but adequate. The lounge is spacious and the gas fire is fabulous. The setting of the apartment is to die for with gorgeous views over the paddocks and park-like grounds with mature trees. The farm animals (horses, sheep, cattle and chooks) are delightful to watch from the triple aspect studio section. On sunny days the latter is warm and cosy even without additional heating. The bucolic environment is so utterly peaceful and soothing to the soul.
A small supermarket and other shops are only a five minute drive away. Christchurch city and the international airport are less than 30 minutes away along quiet country roads.
We recommend Jill’s place unreservedly.
