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.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted the home worked so well for your group and that the layout, soundproofing, and multiple amenities made your stay comfortable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we're especially glad we could help with the high chair and portacot. We'd love to welcome you all back again on your next trip to Christchurch!
