Just divine and convenient
The property is beautiful. It is peaceful and a stone throw a way from the hustle and bustle in the city . I travelled everyday from the airport for work. I looked forward to coming (home). Doug will also give you a list of cost effective must sees around the area. Thank you for having me.

Well presented clean and very tidy. Walking on the wet grass this time of year with nice shoes was not good. And the couch was a bit uncomfortable but overall I would very happily stay here again, Thanks

Lovely Stay in Swannanoa
We really enjoyed the location, the privacy of the property, and the beautifully landscaped grounds. Our unit was cozy, had an impressive bath suite, and we appreciated having access to laundry equipment. We do have a couple of suggestions. Our stay would have been perfect if there had been a way to cook simple meals inside the unit. Not much fun BBQing in the rain. The living room would be well served with the addition of a comfortable loveseat and chairs. What was provided really needs updating. Thank you, thank you for sharing your property with us. We loved having use of the pool.

Quiet and secluded rural retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Nest. The apartment was perfectly clean and comfortable and had all one could ask for. A smaller supermarket and shop were close by, Rangiora a bit further but perfect for us. We walked miles and enjoyed the evenings outside. The pool was a tad cool for us but all else perfect!

Nice clean quiet place.
Was a tranquil setting. However the timing of the watering system was poor and made it difficult to have my mum enter through the water. Pointed right at the entry. Nice to have fruit and bickie welcome with milk in the fridge. Nice size for two people but I feel if you were a family wouldn't suit. One bedroom we were in.

Lovely place to explore Christchurch
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect set up for the four of us, (we have two teenage children) as I liked having us all in one area. It’s a nice big space and the main bedroom area feels separate with the blinds closed. It was all lovely and clean and Doug and Ali had thought of absolutely everything. Lovely garden setting too and we all had a lovely dip in the gorgeous pool. Thanks very much :)
