Good location and nice house. There were a few things we were disappointed in. There was no netflix and the drains in the bathroom were semi blocked so you could only have a quick shower. We ran out of gas for the BBQ and they said they would drop off another bottle, but never did.

Okay, could have been better
We were a large family group in Christchurch for our daughter's wedding. The house accomodated our large group, and is in an excellent location. There a number of broken or damaged things about the house, and the cleanliness of the house was not ideal. In particular, the air conditioning did not work, and there was a lot of garden matter/leaves in and around the front and back doors, back porch and spa.
