Perfect for families

Excellent location, walk to city and huge kids playground, communication with Wendy was really easy. Really nice touch for the kids, Wendy had put chockies and jelly beans on their beds, she also has an awsome book collection and plenty of games for the kids to play, she had also put the air cond on warm for our arrival. We would definitely recommend. And would stay again, thanks Wendy. 😊

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.

Home away from home

Could not fault the house at all, was a wonderful, inviting home away from home. The house was clean and we loved the pay it forward box, what a great idea. Will definitely recommend to others and stay again when we are back down that way.

Photos don't do it justice

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.

Great Accommodation

House was exactly as described. It lies within a short walk to the city centre. Botanical Gardens and lovely riverside walks. House extremely well equipped with nothing left wanting. Wendy could not have been a more congenial and welcoming host and offered to be of help if needed. Thank you Wendy for a delightful stay.
