This is a divine fully-equipped apartment which is a stone's throw from the beach.
Megan was a marvelous host, who offered us terrific advice on things to do and places to go. She is incredibly thoughtful: we arrived to a stocked fridge, fresh bread, coffee and breakfast goodies. Such a treat!
The apartment is located in Summer, which is about a 20-minute drive to the Central Business District of Christchurch. While we initially feared this would feel far away, we discovered the apartment is actually very central to tons of unexpected fun, especially outdoor adventuring.
Definitely take Megan and Tim up on their suggestions for all the ways you can explore Christchurch.
