A beautiful space to spend time in Christchurch. The manor was well equipped, warm and comfortable. I shared this with my 4-year old daughter, bed was super comfy and spacious enough. My mother in-law stayed in the kowhai room. I thought the kitchenette was well stocked with utensils and equipment which met our needs. It was great to have a table/chairs so we could eat together and sofa to sit and watch TV. There is a little bit of a walk between the two spaces however the path is well lite at night with sensor lights coming on to guide your way. Lovely gardens to look upon. I thought it was well located, it appeared to be near bus routes, was close to the airport and the train station (10 minutes drive for either), 5 minute drive to a supermarket. Leah provides plenty of information for her guests to get around Christchurch including bus timetables etc.
There is a daycare going in next door and a school nearby, however the rooms I understand are now double glazed. We were there on a Monday morning and were not bothered by any noise from either.
The rooms are comfortable, clean and well presented. Leah is a lovely host and does her best to ensure your stay is great.
