Positive: Location next to the beach. Large sliding door facing the beach to open and let the ocean air in. Clean apartment. Plenty of parking. Check in was very easy. Cons: Beds weren’t very comfortable. Had no hot water one night. We had been out for half the day when we came back and the shower was cold. Not sure if the water heater malfunctioned or if it feeds more than just the one apartment. It worked the next day. Overall we chose this booking for its proximity to the beach and we were happy with the easy access. Would stay here again, but might bring our own mattress.

We booked two units. One was totally fine (slightly dated but no big deal). The other one had a strong mildew smell. We reported the issue and they switched our second unit, but the replacement unit smelled of cigarettes even after we aired it out for an hour. So we only ended up using one of the two units. The lady who ran the place was nice and attempted to solve the problem but it wasn’t an issue she could solve.

Great location for family visiting Christchurch for BMX while enjoying a beach holiday. Staff are approachable and responsive, clean towels provided during week. Kitchen could have done with a few extra utensils and some windows and furnishings could benefit from small repairs - nothing that impacted on usability or comfort of the apartment. We would book again!

Check in for this property was lengthy with payment facilities not working. Parking was very tight. The room was difficult to access and not advertised to be on level one. The main slider door was damaged and unable to be locked. The TV didn't work, and the room was very old with noticeable maintenance required. Bedding was sparce and the covers stained. Extra blankets were very old and pilled. It felt like ones was staying in a teenage boys room. The bathroom was old and towels thin. Roosters nearby obviously out of the properties control
