The spa pool was amazing. A convenient location, would definitely stay again. ##### Meiana G. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jarrod S. Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had such a great stay at this modern, warm and well-equipped home! We found the location convenient to places we wanted to visit - 10 mins to city centre, Hagley park and large mall.The house is clean, stylish, and has everything you need. We loved relaxing in the spa pool after a day out, and the game room with table tennis and darts was sooo fun. The kids were entertained, and us adults could unwind.The beds are really comfortable (I had such a good sleep). The kitchen had everything we needed and the patio for outdoor meals in the afternoon sun was so nice. Parking was easy with enough room for 2 cars out the front and the self-check-in was easy as.This is a perfect base for a Christchurch getaway or heading up to Mt Hutt in winter. We will be back for sure! ##### Jarrod S.
