The host is an excellent host. The cottage is well situated. About 6 minutes by car to the airport, 4 minutes to the supermarket and different shops, 10 minutes to Christchurch Botanical Garden. There is private parking. The cottage is clean and well decorated. Beautiful paintings are on the walls. It is well equipped and everything works well. There is plenty of hot water. The shower works well. The Wifi is excellent. The guest book provided is very well written. There are exceptionally beautiful flowers and trees all around the cottage. The neighbourhood is safe. We had no trouble doing all our visits around Christchurch from this cottage by car. My wife and I recommend it without hesitation.
