It suited my purpose very well, i was disappointed there was no hot tub which was advertised, and no tea and coffee. Ford a ten day stay I would have appreciated more than one towel. I is a very well appointed bed sit and I was very comfortable there.
A beautiful place with all commodities approximately half an hour from Christchurch CBD by bus and close to the beach. Sue was very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Lovely space close to everything you need to enjoy your holiday.
The space and location was perfect for what we needed. The host, Sue was very sweet and accommodating to all of our needs. We had early flights arriving and departing and Sue made check in and check out very easy, allowing us to arrive at a very early hour. Highly recommend this space and looking forward to booking again if we travel back to the area.
Property was quite private with easy parking. Bed was comfortable, kitchen facilities were very good and a lovely walk down into Redcliffs with an excellent bus service into Christchurch. Good walks around the area and good selection of eateries. Our host, Sue, was very friendly and helpful
Perfect place to stay, spotless accommodation, plenty of room for two, comfortable bed, walk in wet room, walk in wardrobe , well equipped kitchen area, fridge, microwave etc. TV for entertainment and close to plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars. The area is quiet, which suited us, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

About the host
Hosted by SusanFr19
I built this house for myself four years ago. Having lived in Europe I wanted a warm house up to European standards. The apartment was actually added for my Mum but she scuppered my best laid plans and sadly died before the house was completed. I love meeting my guests and sharing a glas of wine and the bounty from my large garden when it is available. I do appreciate though that some people are seeking quiet and peace.
Why they chose this property
This is a warm, private apartment on a quiet street only minutes from beaches and walks. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill which will take you right into the city. I love the walks both up the hill and down to the beach. People here are friendly and welcoming.
What makes this property unique
this house has been built to a high standard with the bathroom having both undertile heating and heated towel rail. The wardrobe is large and separate from the bedroom. Comfort and wamth are priorities here.
