This is a beautiful property! The restored house is a stunner. It was super clean and comfortable. The hosts have clearly put a lot of work and heart into the home. The home has some high-end finishes I wasn't expecting (the heated bathroom floors and neat windows come to mind), that we really enjoyed. Beautifully decorated. The location was excellent. We were able to walk to dinner every night with friends and explore the city during the day without having to drive in. We stayed there with our 5 kids (ages 18 months to 14 years). There was plenty of space. Simone and Joe were lovely hosts. Simone took the time to give us some recommendations for how to spend our time in Christchurch and they were spot on (not an easy feat for a group with a broad age range like ours). If we ever get the chance to stay in Christchurch in the future we would be delighted to stay here again.

Our second stay here. Easy walking distance to the city, river, playground etc. Lovely house, well equipped and comfortable.

Full of character and enough space for all, Great location and nice easy walk into the City.

Owners amazing and a great location Thanks the great kiwi hospitality

We had a wonderful time . It was clean and great location for our family. Simone was a great host very thoughtful and helpful with our stay. Definitely recommend!!!

Enjoyed the house, the heating was good. The house was in a good location. The bed was very comfortable. Great communications.

Overall we had a lovely family stay (2 adults, 3 children and 1 infant) at the cottage. Great location with a nice family friendly pub a very short walk for dinner with an attached cafe for breakfast - perfect! Cottage was lovely and warm with the hosts kindly checking on arrival time so they could pop the heat pumps on ready and the boxes of duplo and LEGO a bonus. I would note though that the trampoline, playground and spa aren’t in the cottage garden but the owners next door which they are happy for you to access/use. Whilst they are very accommodating this needs to be updated in the description so you can make an informed decision as having to call up to be able to use the spa and walking across someone else’s garden in my costume wasn’t what I had planned! Overall a nice wee place.

Lovely and well equipped cottage with sunny verandah and great hosts.

A good location and lovely house

House is nicely furnished with new items. The beds were fantastic, first time I have slept in a bed that I thought was better than my own.

Location was an easy walk into the city. Owners friendly, helpful and approachable. the house was cool in the daytime and then warm in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would book it again. The Joneses

Highly recommended!!

A beautiful heritage house to stay while exploring Christchurch. Walking distance to the city centre. Clean house and large enough to have a comfortable family stay. We enjoyed every minute.

The property was very well located for access to the centre of the City which allowed us to leave the car at the property and walk into town. The house was well set up and ideally suited to families, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Beds were very comfortable with clean, quality linen and the living area was also comfortably furnished. The owners made it easy to enjoy. I consider that the property was great value and would recommend it to others.

Communication was excellent, clean and friendly

This is a well-located place to stay in Christchurch - very close to city centre and the comfiest beds we encountered on our NZ trip. Recommended.

Great family accomodation, very close to the city, river, parks etc. comfortable beds and good heating for the colder weather.
