- "Enjoyed every minute! Had everything we needed! Comfortable and clean!" - "This home is beautiful and very accessible to the town of Christchurch and surrounding attractions. My children loved the pool and the kitchen was very user friendly and spacious. The only complaint was that there were not many hangers in each room and limited towels. The showers leaked on the floor and we needed to use the towels to dry the floors and ensure they would be safe given that they were concrete and slippery when wet. I would definitely recommend this home for a family (which we were) or a few couples."
