If you’re considering this home just go ahead and book it right now. Seriously just do it. The unit is a very spacious, attractive and comfortable space, beautifully designed. The grounds are lovely and peaceful. And-the views from all the bedrooms, living spaces, and even bathrooms are absolutely stunning, even on cloudy days. Kim was a fantastic host, made sure we had everything we needed, and was very helpful at orienting us to the area and to South Island.

School holiday catchup with family who live in Christchurch and family from Auckland who came down for Auckland anniversary weekend. The chickens were the highlight for both the grandchildren (who stayed mid week) and the Auckland family. Quick access to the Scarbough playground, water play area and the beach excellent as grandchildren are aged 4 and 6 years. Corrianders Indian restaurant fabulous food highly recommend. The Bohemium bakery has good variety of freashly baked artisan bread. Auckland family loved the ham & cheese, chocolate and almond croissants. Check in with Kim easy, directions accurate. So pleased excellent turning area for the vehicle. Thanks for the kale to feed the chickens. We also found the leftover pasta and bread pieces they enjoyed. Excellent place for the variety of ages. Auckland family loved the views and warmth of the house. Several areas in the house where different aged family members could relax. Inspirational glasshouse and vegetable garden.

Beautiful property with an unreal view! We loved our stay here, such a luxury to come back to after a busy day travelling and sightseeing! Absolutely recommend staying here!

We really enjoy our time there Beautiful place with lot of space to relax and cook Stunning view Everything was as expected

We had never been to christchurch and had no idea where to stay or what to see and do, and we are so glad we picked to stay here. This is a place that will make you want to drop all your plans and hang out here instead. Simply stunning. And it happens to be in the best area of town - the beaches, eateries in and around sumner and the breathtaking view as you drive into Lyttleton are all must dos! We tagged a 2 night stay here at the end of a week long tour of the south island, it wasnt long enough so we will most definitely be back just to come here. There are lots of stairs throughout the property so guests need to be nimble, and small children need to be confident with steps but otherwise its a large place with fabulous views from every room and nooks for curling up with a book, so dont let the steps put you off. Kitchen is well stocked with all the things you need, showers are hot and powerful, beds are super comfy!

Stayed at Kim and Elly’s place with a group of friends over the weekend. Had such a nice time it was a great experience, flawless accommodation and lovely hosts.

This place was wonderful. A perfect location and wonderful views.

This is a beautiful house with spectacular views and wonderful gardens. The layout of the home is perfect for a family or more than a couple because of the different levels. Very tastefully and practically furnished. Owner lives on premises so any request is immediately addressed. Roads leading to the house are a bit difficult to navigate but there is a reward at the end.
