Nestled behind a small stream frequented by ducks, Diane’s cottage brought us back to the days when Christchurch was best known as the garden city.
The recently renovated cottage incorporated traditional wooden beams and stone walls that complimented the modern upgrades, with ample heating such as air conditioning and portable heaters that will keep you snug and warm even in winter.
The kitchen had everything you need to cook and clean, with thoughtful touches from fresh bread, eggs and yogurts in the pantry to chopsticks for the Asian visitors like us.
Close to the airport, Riccarton, and minutes drive away from the city, the location was perfect for our stay.
We loved everything about this cottage, and would most certainly stay here again when we visit Christchurch next.
