We had a lovely stay at the cottage with a very beautiful view. The cottages is fully equipped with all we need for our stay. During our visit, there was an earthquake in the suburb of Christchurch but Claire informed us that the cottage would be very safe if there is an aftershock as the cottage is engineered so that it can rock and roll a bit safely. During our 3-night stay. We felt a couple of aftershocks but we felt okay!
