The house is in a great location and perfect for a large group. The bedrooms and baths were spotless. There are a couple of things in the kitchen that need attention but I'm sure they will be taken care of. We were there right after the New Years. We would have preferred air conditioning on all levels as it was very hot in Christchurch but it did cool down in the late evenings so no problem. The owners responded quickly when we called with a question. There are brochures for every activity in Christchurch. Go and enjoy.
