We booked the house after signing up for the Vine Run Half-marathon, but after it was canceled, we decided to still make the trip. I am so glad that we did! The house and garden were beautiful. There was plenty of space to spread out and relax. We did not use the kitchen, but it appeared to have all of the plates and utensils and cookware needed to cook and eat at the house. The location was wonderful too - an easy drive into Christchurch, but it felt very relaxed. We had dinner in Kaiapoi at Five Peaks brewery which was awesome and followed this by playing on the playground in town. That was kids favorite playground with the big wheel!! Would highly recommend this airbnb or a nice weekend away or even longer!!
