Everything about my stay was wonderful. The place was very easy to find and to get into from the clear instructions. There were snacks, drinks in the fridge and hot drinks. The TV had Netflix, Prime and Disney. Plenty of utensils and lots of spares ( batteries etc). All living arrangements comfy - bedroom, bathroom and lounge. Robes available. Hosts, Matt and Bev were in contact if needed. The property is very private. Overall my stay was perfect.

Excellent solo stay location - but bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper

One of the cleanest holiday homes / rentals I have stayed in. Hosts were very clear with communication and made the self-check in and out easy. Kitchen well-stocked with pots and pans, cutlery, crockery etc. Netflix available via an account already set-up on the TV, which was great. Italian restaurant directly over the road that opens for dinner is lovely.The only issue I had was road and wind noise - the road is quiet but anything that does go past you definitely know about, alongside the large trees making a bit of sound when they sway in the wind. Easily fixed with a pair of earplugs when going to sleep.I would stay again!

Absolutely Perfect

The cottage was situated in a quiet rural area. Private, very pretty and quaint. Literally no neighbours close by. The floors are a little uneven but this is part of the charm and history of a 100 year old cottage . It is full of character. It's a good base if you want to travel within Christchurch and beyond. The hosts had thought of everything. All sorts of beverages and snacks welcomed us. Thankyou so much. It had a definite french feel with the furnishings and tastefully presented.. It was immaculate and clean with fresh daffodils in a jug at the door. So many beautiful little touches. I particularly loved the set of portmerion china that was there to use everyday. I can recommend this stay without hesitation. The communication was brilliant and the whole experience was faultless. It is definitely excellent value. Thanks so much Matt and Bev.
