This is a great apartment in a fantastic location. We stayed as a family of 4 with two school aged kids and it was perfect. The bedrooms were spacious and the living area uncluttered. There are a bunch of kids toys which kept my kids busy for hours. The outdoor area is quite pleasant and we spent a few evenings having supper or wine out there.
The location is almost as good as you could ask for, the gardens and all downtown restaurants as well as Margaret Mahey Park, and a huge path system are all within a flat 1 Km walk. Highly recommend for a relaxing, pleasant stay near downtown Christchurch.
