This was a great little granny flat. It was about a 20+ minute walk to the main stuff in the centre of Christchurch, which was totally fine for our needs. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, including a great Thai place we ate at called Keo Thai. Yelp recommended it indicating we'd need a reservation, but we just rocked up. Overall, this place is good for a short stay in Christchurch (chances are you do not want more than a short stay in Christchurch!).
