Robert's place was very nice. The location is incredible; it is a quick walk through the backyard to the beach (which is essentially all yours). The kitchen was well equipped, and the property was well away from the hustle and bustle of Christchurch. There is a bus stop nearby, but having a car (or calling an Uber) is recommended to get to the grocery store or into town. Check-in and check-out for our month-long stay were both super-easy, as Robert lives on the property and he was always available for any questions or concerns.
