The pictures and description really don't even do this place justice even though they look good. The place is awesome and really is a home away from home. Spacious, big rooms, and sparkling clean amenities (dishwasher, oven, microwave, shower, washing machine etc etc etc- everything you need) and even a yard with BBQ. We stayed during the covid-19 lockdown and Russel and Buffy were so helpful in allowing us to extend multiple times and always replying to messages instantly. Lovely touches such as fresh eggs/milk/bread, teabags, ground coffee, jams, spreads and loads of other bits and bobs of food etc in the cupboard. The location is great- centre of riccarton and short walk to the massive park in the middle of Christchurch. Unfortunately everything was closed when we were there but there's loads of restaurants/shops etc nearby. Thanks so much Russell and Buffy you really made our forced lockdown in new Zealand an enjoyable one and we hope to be able to visit again one day x
