What a great location. Loved the private garden space with trees and shrubs and a stream with ducks! Loved the cottage, spacious living area, well appointed kitchen looking onto another private garden space. Comfy bed, well appointed bathroom. And then I discovered just how easy it was to get to great places in Christchurch. New World just a good walk away, and a smaller shopping area and great wine shop just around the corner. Short drive to airport, highways north and south, city centre. Jellie Park just around the corner has a lovely duck pond, open spaces and trees as well as fitness centre and pool. Really enjoyed my stay in Christchurch’s reviving city enhanced by my being able to return each day to Diane’s cottage. Highly recommended.
