When we arrived we met the owner, and he was very pleasant he showed us the ins and outs of the neighbourhood and where the local supermarkets were located. This beautiful wee cottage is centrally located in the heart of Christchurch, and only 800m away from Margaret Mahy Playground which was a hit with the kids.

The house had a lot of character and was more than adequate for our family of 5. We have 3 kids under the age of 5 who loved using the outdoor bathtub. The house was well equiped to our needs, washer, dryer, dish washer.

All in all it was a pleasant stay in this cottage, one thing to mention was that since the earthquake a lot of the CBD is still under construction so there was not much to see and do in central Christchurch, but if you don't have to entertain kids all day Im sure theres lots of things left to do.
