We stayed for 2 weeks and it was perfect for us! The heat pumps warm up the house nicely in the winter. We also had two toddlers with us and on the first day, Leigh offered us a high chair for our youngest. Also, she had turned on the heat pumps prior to our arrival so we rocked up to a nice warm house! As others have noted, there is quite a bit of traffic out front but it probably wouldn't bother most adults. We just put white noise to keep the little ones asleep! The location is very convenient to the Riccarton area, Hornby, and also Barrington. The Copperfield Fish and Chips shop, which is 30 seconds down the road, also does huge scoops of chips!
Thank you for sharing your house with us, Leigh!
