Splendid accommodation!

Having stayed at The Cottage in Christchurch for one night before leaving on our next day flight, my husband and I wished we had stayed there much longer during our NZ holiday. (We definitely will next time!)It was such a delight to have Chris come out to greet us on our arrival and Catherine popping in to welcome us when she arrived home. Wonderful, friendly, warm-hearted people who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possibly need.This very private accommodation is perfect in every regard. It is beautifully presented, inside and out. The cleanliness, the furnishings, the comfort, the peace and quiet, the fresh bread and milk (of our choice), the snack supplies on the kitchen bench and the food in the pantry, the fruit and vegetable garden right outside with our wonderful hosts encouraging us to help ourselves to anything! (Delicious raspberries!)With their wide driveway, we had plenty of room to park our car close to The Cottage, making it very easy to transfer our luggage. Ramps also provide access for guests with disabilities.The Cottage is 20 mins drive from Christchurch CBD and a 10-minute drive to the airport. We cannot wait to return.
