A disappointment! We arrived in Christchurch with expectations of excitement and incredible journeys in New Zealand. Part of this excitement was the place that we were going to stay while we were in Christchurch, but to our dismay, it was a ‘let down’. We arrived on time, without a code to get into the place (I did call and manage to get it). This followed with the disappointment that the hot-tub was not working. All of this was fine, until we got inside. Sure, the beds were nice and there was plenty of space for all of us, but there was no storage space for clothes and we discovered that the ‘entire place’ meant sharing the outdoor space with people in an attached building for other guests (this is not clear on the listing). Parking behind the ‘gated door’ was first come first serve, and although this was ‘sort of’ explained in the listing, it was not explicit (you need to read all of the details very carefully – this should be clearer). The price point was definitely not worth the stay. In the end, we did get the hot-tub working (with expressed concern to the host - not entirely sure that it is broken), and we ‘made do’ with other guests coming and going. However, my daughter put it best at our final dinner in Christchurch, “everything is broken here”, which included the hot-tub (seemed to be losing water, but not sure), the outdoor fire place (although not part of the ‘listing’, seemed to be fine on the deck in the photos, but the host said that there was a fire ban, although when we checked online, the municipality seemed to say that we could light a fire), many of the pull-out drawers were broken, the air conditioner in the kitchen was not functional (not hooked up yet, according to the host), the kitchen sink head rotates at the base, and the dryer needed repair (host said it needed a part for repair). The place would be more appropriate for very short stays for adults only. The host is very kind and means well, but the communication was poor about many items, making the overall price point for this place a significant disappointment for our family.
