This is a terrific house and the hosts, Susie & Dave, are awesome. Very handy that they live on the same section in a separate house. Not that we needed them as everything worked fine. A nice touch was providing some basic foodstuffs on arrival - the usual tea, coffee, etc but also some fruit and plenty of milk and similar. Four of us retired old men used it as a base for a week-long bowls tournament at the Papanui Club and it was ideal. The amenities were perfect with a modern kitchen, smart TV and lovely outside deck area with a bbq which we used. Definitely worth it and would make it a first choice for a return visit.
