Tracy’s home was perfect for a relaxing weekend near the beach. The home itself is extremely clean and cozy with delightful art throughout. Comfortable beds and lots of seating inside and out to relax and enjoy. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with basic needs and little luxuries. The highlight is the secluded garden and deck off the back of the home. The home is within walking distance of the water, cafes and convenience stores. Also a quick drive to beautiful beaches and an easy bus ride to downtown Christchurch. We were sad to leave and will definitely come back if we travel to New Zealand again!

Delightful stay in Redcliffs

This is an amazing home just steps from the beautiful waterfront and the lovely Redcliffs neighborhood. It was our last few days in Christchurch and we experienced astonishing sunrises from huge bedroom windows, lovely walks on Sumner Beach and meals at the charming local restaurants. Tracy was an extremely accommodating and helpful host. We had a terrific visit.

The Perfect Holiday Home

I couldn't have found a better place to stay. Warm, cosy, clean, and well positioned with everything I could need. Tracy and Steve were generous and very accommodating. The home is beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the gift basket was a lovely unexpected bonus. I will definitely be going back sometime.

Beautiful, cozy home in great location

We loved our stay at Tracy’s home in Christchurch! The home itself and gardens were spotless, comfortable and well equipped with everything we might need for our stay. The location was great, a 2 minute walk to the beach and coastal walkway, and a short drive to the city of Christchurch- always a great place to come back to at the end of the day. Tracy was charming and wonderful about check-in and thoughtful in providing special additions that made us feel welcome. We highly recommend!

Perfect getaway beside the water!

Tracy’s cottage was fantastic and we felt right at home. She has equipped it with everything you could possibly need for a great holiday away and it is a stone’s throw from the beach. Around the corner is a convenience store, spa, hair salon, chippy, library, coffee shop (2 actually). The list goes on! Great place to stay and thank you to Tracy for making us feel so welcome with the comfortable beds, soft towels…for everything!

Amazing home to relax and unwind at

We couldn’t have asked for a better property for our 2 week stay. It was in a quiet street just down from the water with lovely little garden and patio area and all requirements you would expect in a home. The beds were comfy and it was meticulously clean with 2 toilet and shower rooms. Tracy obvious takes great pride in her home so there really wasn’t anything we could grumble about! Thanks so much for letting us stay! It was fantastic!

We loved our time at Tracy’s home. A lovely spot to relax and great location for two couples. The house was clean, comfortable, well stocked and nicely decorated. Tracy was an exceptional host both before and after our visit. She went out of her way to contact us about some wine we left behind and then helped to ship it to us to our next location. Thank you Tracy for your help. We would highly recommend to others and would stay there again.

About the host

Host profile image
I’m very much a local. My grandparents lived 5 minutes away from this home forty years ago & my children all went to the local school. I LOVE sharing my stunning neighbourhood of Redcliffs with others. It’s a treat to be on this ‘beachside’ of the city..

Why they chose this property

Everything you want is nearby
The Port of Lyttelton is over the hill or through the tunnel just minutes from my location. Lyttelton has cafē’s & restaurants
Sumner (3mins away) has a large cave to walk through & a swimming beach, restaurants & cafē’s. Redcliffs has a 40 minute return hill cave walk & Estuary walks
Across the road is two awesome cafē’s & local shops

What makes this property unique

Sun-drenched cute modern home right on the water & Coastal walkway. Central to everything
