We loved Gina’s place - really convenient for the airport (bus 29 or uber/taxi) and for Mona Vale (where we attended a wedding). The space was great - very clean, lots of space to ourselves and it was private. It was wonderfully quiet which we needed to get over jet lag, and the bed was comfortable. Gina had left us some lovely fresh eggs and bread for breakfast, and some nice toiletries in the bathroom as well. The kitchen was very well equipped and actually hard sharp knives - such a rarity!
We walked back from Christ Church city centre - a lovely walk through the botanical gardens and through Hagley Park. Would highly recommend if you’d like somewhere spacious, clean, quiet and lovely.
