the Place is very cozy and sweet. The living room is even larger than it seems on the photo - I could practice yoga easily in the morning :-) The hosts are very caring and supportive. All went very easy for us and we felt very comfy :-)

A charming cottage retreat

This cottage in Rolleston is a perfect place to stay and explore the Christchurch area without being right in the city. The cottage is charming, the gardens lovely, the amenities excellent. There is nothing lacking here, and the hosts are very helpful. We would like to stay again if in the area.
