The house was very tidy and convenient. It's super close to Westfield Riccarton (including Paknsave and Kmart), McDonald's, a lot of yummy restaurants etc. They are all within walking distance. We had everything we needed in the house or from the surrounding area, which saved a lot of time and was hassle free. Kate is very friendly and our whole family felt welcomed from the time we stepped into the house. All the facilities in the house functioned well and we had a great time there. We highly recommend the place!
