As a family of 5 who stayed for 12 nights, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything is here that you could need - comfy beds, lots of space and plenty of room for everyone. The beach is only a few minutes walk away, large supermarket 10-15 minutes, Christchurch about 1/2 an hour, and plenty of options for day trips if you have a car. It was nice to be able to meet the owners who are nearby and can help out with anything if needed. We would highly recommend this property for your stay in the area.
