I had an incredible 4 week stay and regret not being able to stay longer. I liked this place from the moment I arrived. The property manager (also the owner) was always available and very responsive. The kitchen was well stocked with all the plates utensils and silverware I needed. This property is located on the beach. It’s a great kiteboarding spot (at least for me). There is enough water pressure in the shower to tear your skin off and plenty of hot water. It’s a bit of a hike to the store but you can take the bus as there is a bus stop at the end of his driveway. I had a car but didn’t really need it. The property manager was very welcoming and I felt like he was an old friend from the moment I arrived. Definitely will be my choice when I return to Christchurch.
