We had a very pleasant stay at the cottage. Although it is a boutique place, it has everything you will need during travel. It is as described and offers more such as electronic blanket in the bed and towel warmer rack in the bathroom. The weather was not very cold so we didn't use those, but I am sure they will be highly appreciated during a cold day. The bed is so comfortable and I felt like sleeping in heaven. Nelson and Therese take great pride of the place by keep everything top notch and super clean. Their garden is cute and lovely. The location is about 10 minutes driving to the botanic garden, a must see in Christchurch. Overall, this is a superb place to stay. We definitely would come back.
