Thanks so much for the great review! Glad you enjoyed the setup, location, and easy parking. We'd love to host you again anytime!
Own room & ensuite, big enough for own space or relax together in cinema, have fun with arcade games was overall the best accommodation in quiet street. Host was great to deal with
We travelled as a group of 5 separate families/couples in March 2025. There were 2 children and 7 adults in our group. Neel was a fantastic host and quickly responded to our needs - including providing a high chair and portacot for us. It was perfect for families and groups. We had two vehicles and the off-street parking was appreciated. Access to the property was easy. It's location was fantastic, and walking distance to Christchurch city if you didn't have a car. As a large group, we really appreciated that there were 2 fridges and 2 cooktops. The soundproofing was fantastic and there was no worry about having an early or late shower and the sound waking those in the other rooms - we didn’t hear a thing. There was plenty of room in the living space for a largd group too. Would qe stay again if travelling to Christchurch as a group? Absolutely. To have 6 bedrooms and each with their own ensuite bathroom was absolutely wonderful.
