A perfect place for a couple to stay in Christchurch for a few days. Convenient to a lot of places in Christchurch but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Bathroom was spacious with heated floor and wonderful water pressure.
Property was quite private with easy parking. Bed was comfortable, kitchen facilities were very good and a lovely walk down into Redcliffs with an excellent bus service into Christchurch. Good walks around the area and good selection of eateries. Our host, Sue, was very friendly and helpful
Perfect place to stay, spotless accommodation, plenty of room for two, comfortable bed, walk in wet room, walk in wardrobe , well equipped kitchen area, fridge, microwave etc. TV for entertainment and close to plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Beautiful area on cliffs above Christchurch with easy car access to Sumner and Littleton, as well as Christchurch. Quiet neighborhood with private parking.
It suited my purpose very well, i was disappointed there was no hot tub which was advertised, and no tea and coffee. Ford a ten day stay I would have appreciated more than one towel. I is a very well appointed bed sit and I was very comfortable there.
This was the ideal location for our stay in
Christchurch.
It was very quiet and comfortable.
It was close to family we were visiting while in Christchurch.
Off street parking was perfect.
Host is excellent and even though not right in town it’s easy to get around, thumbs up all around. Wonderful stay

About the host
Hosted by SusanFr19
I built this house for myself four years ago. Having lived in Europe I wanted a warm house up to European standards. The apartment was actually added for my Mum but she scuppered my best laid plans and sadly died before the house was completed. I love meeting my guests and sharing a glas of wine and the bounty from my large garden when it is available. I do appreciate though that some people are seeking quiet and peace.
Why they chose this property
This is a warm, private apartment on a quiet street only minutes from beaches and walks. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill which will take you right into the city. I love the walks both up the hill and down to the beach. People here are friendly and welcoming.
What makes this property unique
this house has been built to a high standard with the bathroom having both undertile heating and heated towel rail. The wardrobe is large and separate from the bedroom. Comfort and wamth are priorities here.
