Good overnight stay for us
Nice, clean property, somewhat lacking in character, but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. On a busy street, making identifying the property and turning into the parking area a bit of a challenge. However, it is otherwise well located, close to downtown Christchurch. It delivered what was promised.

Excellent location
We were going to an event at Apollo Stadium - easy walking distance. So close to Westfield mall, again walking distance.
Excellent instructions in communication from property manager to park and access this lovely townhouse. Comfortable beds, and tastefully decorated. Well- equipped kitchen, with dish drawer to cook and to eat-in. Lovely secure little backyard to enjoy some sun and fresh air. Is on a busy road but was never annoyed by traffic, nor neighbour noise. We stayed five nights and it is well set up for longer term stays, with washing machine/dryer combo and outside line. Location was brilliant with fast access to convention and shopping centres and main roads.

Quick visit
The property was clean and modern but not as close to downtown as I would prefer for a longer stay to allow more walking. Since we were mostly going to Arthur’s Pass it wasn’t needed to be closer into town. It was definitely nice to have the washer/dryer in mid trip.

2 night stay
This was a great place to stay and four adults fitted comfortably. Having off street parking for one car was extremely useful as the road is busy and not a lot of parking. Double glazing reduced the road noise considerably. The heated toilet seat was a lovely surprise!

Great stay in Christchurch
Paula was a great host and her clear communication made our stay effortless and enjoyable. She even accommodated our dog, which we really appreciated. Her property is in an excellent location within close proximity to shops, parks and other points of interest. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning to Christchurch again in the future.

Great communication
Paula responded to all messages very promptly and was very accommodating. Apartment was very clean and has everything you need. Has 1 sofa that can be pulled out and used for a bed, which my Son confirmed is quite comfortable. There were 4 of us staying, could have done with another lounge chair as there wasn’t enough room on the one sofa for us all. Location is very close to places to eat out. On a main road with busy traffic but inside the apartment the noise of traffic wasn’t annoying. Great pressure on the shower.
