We couldn't fault anything - it is all thought of by the owners
We loved the wee cottage. Not too far to travel from Christchurch, yet in easy distance of Amberley if you had forgotten anything. Lovely and clean. All linen supplied and we were grateful to be able to walk out and leave without having to clean. Very, very quiet environs, right next to the campground and two minutes walk to the beach and forest trails. It had everything you needed - heat pump, new tv with all the apps, good hot water, great parking, and a fabulous private wee backyard - shame it rained, but that made us relax a bit more! We will definitely be back and recommend to anyone who likes quaint and cozy over new and flashy. Friends who were staying at the campground were impressed too.

A haven
From the minute I arrived I was impressed and delighted. Beautifully presented , scrupulously clean, quaint, quirky, comfortable , very private, within hearing of the sea, plentiful birdsong, easy access to beach, perfect spots for coffee outside at different times of the day. A truly awesome place to relax and take time out. Short drive from Chch. A definite place to add to your “escape to” list.
