Quaint little old cottage - a remnant of pre-earthquake Christchurch. A microwave would have been a useful amenity.

Enjoyed being in this property. So close to Countdown, cafes. Being the middle of winter could do with having a heater in the bedroom.

The property was just as expected and perfect for us on our 18 day holiday in Christchurch. The weather was terrible, but the cottage was warm and comfortable. There was plenty of room for our things and we were able to entertain friends and family. Even though the surrounding area isn't inspiring, we were amazed how quiet it was, and the closeness of public transport was good. The downside could be parking, but we never had to park more than 50mtrs away. Ellen was really helpful and brought us clean linen and towels half way through. Lovely quirky cottage.

This place was very comfy and close enough to walk into town. Quiet and even had a sweet little garden which we didn’t have time to make use of.

Property is in a great location, however it feels a little run down. No modern touches i.e. microwave, TV, working freezer or hair dryer. Quite a few spider webs, and lacked some thoughtful touches, like milk, or enough toiket paper for our stay.
