If you're looking for a place to stay in Christchurch and the size suits your needs, look NO further. It's a quick walk to downtown, it's quiet. There are restaurants very close and a 5 minute trip to a full-sized grocery store. Vicky couldn't possible be more wonderful. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable (the bed was SUPER comfy) and the gardens are tranquil and beautiful. The shower is also GREAT - roomy and good water pressure. I stayed in this cottage for a month in August 2018 and couldn't have asked for a better place to work/holiday. I'm happy to give a personal recommendation for this place so if you want one, just ask Vicky for my contact details. Seriously, you can't go wrong with Vicky's Cabbage Tree Retreat!
