Perfect place to stay! Nearby restaurants you can walk to. Very easy and short drive into the city center of Christchurch. There was tea, coffee and milk when we arrived. Plenty of towels and bed linens for an extended stay. Washer and dryer came in handy. They layout of the space was really nice. We had 2 sets of travelers on separate itineraries. There is a door separating the bedroom end of the home and the living space that you can leave open or close. This was perfect so that the people needing to go to bed early could without the others waking them. We had 6 adults staying for a week and had plenty of space for our luggage and ourselves and not feel like we were on top of each other all week. There is a box of ideas and flyers of things to do. Also a handy folder with websites that offer discounts in the area. Very helpful as we booked our excursions last minute and were able to save some money! Wendy reached out to us before our trip to inquire our interests and made suggestions accordingly. She is a wonderful host. We saw her on day one and she was very gracious and helpful. I had 1 question for her during our stay and she responded immediately. Would absolutely stay again.
