The house is well-appointed, clean and welcoming. We were a family of 8 with seniors and young kids. Everyone was comfortable and lacked nothing. It was a 3 minute walk to the outlet stores (Bunnings, BB&B, toy warehouse) and a 5-minute walk to Addington Train station which we really loved when we took a day train trip to Kaikoura. We could also walk to Westfielld Riccarton which was great.
