Excellent home-away-from-home. Arrived in the middle of the night to lit house with warm sheets and fresh fruit, outstanding! We stayed for 1 week and were so glad we did. Really a great and perfect location for exploring the city of Christchurch for the first time. We walked into the heart of the city, to the park, children's park and to many restaurants before getting are car rental on day 3. We would definitely return. Have 3 bedrooms upstairs and living area downstairs made it super cozy for autumn weather and our 3 adults and 1 child. It was wet to hang-out in the small garden nook, but great to have full-glass windowed views of nature while in the heart of the city. 5 stars all around!
