Excellent stay in central Christchurch
Clean and spacious townhouse within walking distance to the central business district. It's great for a couple like us or a small family. Wifi is excellent for those who work remotely. I'd totally stay there again if I ever make it to Christchurch again.

Great access to town and restaurants
We really did feel like locals in this stay. We were able to walk down town to our tour pick up so we didnt have to worry about parking. We also found Pomeroys for dinner and Little Poms just a block away. Everything was wonderful. Thank you

Amazing home away from home.
My family were so comfortable here, it was like being at home. The relaxed atmosphere is very important to our family that has members on the autistic spectrum and with anxiety. The location is fantastic, was just a short walk to the city centre or a quick drive to anywhere else you want to go.. The bach had everything we could need and Wendy was a great host. Very friendly and quick responses to my questions. We will choose to stay here next time we are in Christchurch. Thanks so much Wendy for helping to make our first family holiday in years an absolute dream.

Beautiful unit in Christchurch
This is a terrific property. It is spotless and has everything you need in the kitchen. Wendy is available, and left snacks in the home for us. It is convenient to the downtown area. we enjoy walking, and we walked about a mile to our restaurants. Some of the other sites we had to drive to, such as the gondola, which is a few miles outside town, but this was an excellent location for us. I would definitely stay here again.

A really lovely apartment. Very modern and filled with absolutely everything you could need. The three bedrooms are upstairs. The spacious main has a walk-in wardrobe (luxury when on holiday), plenty of drawers, and an ensuite (great shower pressure). The other two bedrooms share the other bathroom. Lovely courtyard which gets the sun in the afternoon, as does the lounge. Great location - close to the city and also various cafes and the wonderful Pomeroys pub. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to everyone. We would love to stay here again.

Christchurch-amazing
From the first look at this property to the last day in Christchurch, Wendy has been a dream to work with. This property was the perfect location to the city center. A few eating establishments within walking distance. Wendy had a completely stocked kitchen which came in handy for our meals. Theee bedrooms worked well for us as we had neurological diseases and ease of alternate sleeping was great. Bathrooms had shower gel, shampoo and conditioner along with blow dryers. Also a scale which we did not use. No reason to see how well we were eating!!! Definitely this property would be my first choice if we come back.
