This is a very spacious apartment situated in a very large garden which has a large pond complete with flowering water lilies, goldfish and pukekos. The facilities are excellent with a well appointed kitchen and bathroom complete with laundry. The apartment is very private and would easily accommodate a family of four. Ali greeted us on arrival and was very friendly and helpful. the location is rural but is located reasonably close to both Rangiora and Oxford, both of which are worth checking out. There is a great farmer's market in Oxford on Sunday mornings as well as a wonderful art gallery showcasing local art.
