Such a great place to stay for our 3 nights in Chch. The accommodation is absolutely lovely and very comfortable. It was great to meet Leah. She provides a real haven in a very quiet and beautiful garden. We enjoyed our cycle ride into town too.

Great Place to Dtart
Nice neighborhood, very quite. This was the perfect property to start our 2 month NZ tour. Christchurch and Leah's home provided everything we needed to start the trip on a high point. The home is nicely appointed and comfortable. Perfect for my wife and I. We would happily stay in the home again if we are fortunate enough to return to Christchurch.

Outstanding
Am reluctant to say how good this place is for fear of it becoming too popular and I can't get in next time I visit the city! no less than an ideal place to stay. But if I have one comment it is that it would have been helpful to have been told that location easily accessible by bus from the airport (free for seniors like me and my companion) rather than taking a circuitous and expensive taxi ride.

Perfect accommodation for our trip
We had a wonderful time here and it was perfect for our needs. Great communication prior to arrival, everything was seamless with our arrival and the house was top notch. So clean, clear instructions - just perfect. The location is brilliant - close to everything and just 10 mins from the City centre. This cottage is lovely, quiet and private. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to others.

Really a little GEM / Wirklich ein kleines Juwel
I booked the beautiful garden house with veranda at Leah's to spend my first 4 days in NZ and Christchurch after the long journey from Germany. Deliberately a little out of the way, but only 100m from the nearest bus stop. The number 8 bus runs directly from the airport almost to your front door and also from the accommodation directly to the heart of Christchurch in 12 minutes. The accommodation is well equipped and extremely clean. Everything you need is there. But the best thing is the small covered terrace in the garden, shielded from the outside and completely quiet. I enjoyed my muesli and coffee here in the morning. In addition, the host, Leah, is incredibly friendly and accommodating and can also be reached directly for all eventualities and concerns of a guest. So I will also be with Leah on my next visit to Christchurch and will also send all my friends to her. Manor Place 7, the garden house is really recommended.

Great unit
This property was perfect for us, situated within a good walk to malls 2.5km but getting on a bus was even closer if you don't fancy the walk.. Leah even had a slow cooker I could use. Everything is in unit that you need. Couldn't fault this place at all.

This IS Home away from Home
Manor Cottage and Leah absolutely raise the bar for VRBO. This home is brilliant and Leah is a welcoming, friendly, kind host. The linens and the bed is heavenly! The cottage is self-contained on a beautifully landscaped property, location was perfect for numerous amenities within walking distance, public transport so efficient, neighbourhood is safe and quite beautiful, parks nearby, rec centre, groceries, etc. I stayed at Manor Cottage for one month and this was my home and it felt like home. Leah was so kind and fun and welcoming, as well as respected my privacy. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you may need and that extra care and attention she put toward welcoming me to Christchurch, New Zealand is really quite unique and unforgettable. Let’s not forget the affordability! Wow! You don’t need to look further - this IS Home away from Home. I am a budget solo traveller and it was hard to leave my Manor Cottage Home. Enjoy!!
