About this property

Modern, quiet comfort for two

A short drive out of the city and heading towards Sumner, Redcliffs is a small village with shops and cafes. If you like hill walking there are countless options from the house without needing to use the car. You could also walk down the hill and explore the beach at Sumner and it's cafes and restaurants. If you are here on the weekend there is the Lyttelton market or the Mt Pleasant market a short drive away. There are two sailing clubs close by and the opportunity to enjoy all the watersports you can think of. However maybe you prefer sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and admiring the sunset, or doing the same down on the beach! The choice is yours..

We stayed here at the beginning and end of our 3-week trip. The location, the apartment, the amenities, and the host were amazing. We recommend the Redcliffs location very highly with restaurants, beach walking, and the Port Hills all being very close. The bed was a perfect firmness, and the kitchenette allowed us to cook anything we wanted, and we used the outdoor grill 3 times. The patio is awesome to hangout on, and the water and heaters were both hot and kept us warm in the rather cool December weather. We were greeted every morning by the resident chaffinch and blackbird, and the neighborhood is perfectly quiet otherwise. Can't recommend this place more! It was perfect. We will stay here again.

A perfect place for a couple to stay in Christchurch for a few days. Convenient to a lot of places in Christchurch but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Bathroom was spacious with heated floor and wonderful water pressure.
