I wish I could give the location 10 out of 5 stars, because it's amazing! It took us a few days to discover everything that was within a 5-10 minute walk of the apartment. All the shops down the beautiful New Regent street, Riverside Market next to the Avon river, the swings and hammocks in the parks, Cashel Square, the incredible Turanga library, Isaac Theatre. Not to mention the amazing gym, pool, spa, and sauna in the basement. I think we would like to come back and live here for 6-12 months. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Christchurch!
