The place was perfect for what we were looking for, a place to relax after a day of visiting Christchurch. There was a supermarket within walking distance which was very convenient. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully supplied with silverware, plates, etc. Very comfortable home. Visiting from the US, there are things that one would tend to expect. Fortunately we were told don't expect all the luxuries you would expect to find , such as AC. But all in all, I was very happy we chose this location for our first visit to the South Island.
