When we arrived after a 7hr trip from Christchurch it was such a lovely place to relax. We walked around and were delighted by the house. It looks small from the outside but is surprisingly large inside and has everything you need. It's really close to town, we walked in every day for coffee. It's even closer to the supermarkets - 5min drive max to NW or 2 Countdowns. The washing machine was especially good with a really short cycle available. The décor is beautiful and everything was clean and tidy and easy to find. We especially liked the lights in all the rooms - very stylish - even in the loo! We had two BBQs which cooks nice and slow and doesn't burn. Neighbours to the left said hello and were friendly.
