Nicolas AndresRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Thank you so much for welcoming us into your lovely home in Christchurch. We stayed for three nights and everything was perfect – the house was clean, cosy, and beautifully warm, which we really appreciated during the colder days. The heating was excellent, and the breakfast you provided was a thoughtful and generous touch that made our mornings so much more comfortable. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Your hospitality was kind and respectful, striking the perfect balance. We’ll leave with great memories and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended! Nico and Gonza

Recently Renovated Single Room in Quiet Location

NaomiRating, 5 stars2 months ago

In my mum's words; I stayed with Danielle for 4 weeks and was entirely happy. My room was neat and clean. My sheets and towels changed on a regular basis. The two dogs Charlie Brown and Suzie were a delight, Danielle is kindness itself. The house is by two good bus routes. Number 1 into the city centre, the Orbitor goes round in a circle further out. There are super markets and a pharmacy within a 15 minute walk. There are good walks along the Ōpāwaho River at the bottom of the road and great views up through the Bowenvale Reserve close by. Altogether an excellent place to stay.
