Judy’s apartment is exactly as advertised, in as much as it isn’t an ultra swish, modern apartment but an apartment in an older property.
The kitchen could do with modernising as the cooker is hard to fathom out due to most of the settings having worn away over time. However, we worked it out and were able to cook some lovely meals in what was an extremely well-equipped kitchen.
However, none of the above should detract from this being a lovely property in an extremely convenient location.
We were in Christchurch for a week at the end of a 22 day trip through New Zealand in a camper van so just wanted to chill in a comfortable apartment with a comfy bed and this totally met our needs. The space is light and extremely clean , with a nice outside space.
Judy is a great host, allowing us to drop our luggage off before returning the camper van which was a great help. Communication was fantastic and it was clear that Judy really takes an interest in her guests.
We had no vehicle for the week but there was really no need. The property is a 15 minute walk to Merivale, which has a good supermarket and other shops,15 minutes to the restaurants and bars of Victoria Street and about 20 minutes to The Botanical Gardens and Museum. We even walked to the Antarctic Centre at the Airport one morning (however, I would caveat that this took us a good couple of hours and we are keen walkers.)
All in all, we would thoroughly recommend Judy’s place to anyone wishing to visit Christchurch.
