Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Rooms are in need of a-lot of TLC so is the outside its shame few items missing in my room but made do it was not urgent mine was location.Shower was good, nice & quiet view of beach from patio was great lady was nice who booked me in I have been on both sides of hospitality so I understand but I am sure any improvements are better than none 🙏
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. Nice modern fixtures, i.e kitchen and bathroom.

Disliked: Cleanliness
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!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Kitchen was ok but the whole apartment was too sterile.
Was not welcoming at all.
Front door was very difficult to lock and alarm went off every 90 minutes all night.
No beach views as property was on a back lot .
so no! not a very fun stay
Bathroom had broken locks…Brocken shower, broken shower door and replaced with short filthy curtains..
Kitchen table glass stand was broken with missing suction cups thus glass was just sliding down…luckily did not break…
Over all a 1 star apartment not a 3 as it was shown on Expedia

Pretty beat up, cheap, beach-adjacent. About the quality you can expect but the owner was very nice and helpful and I don't regret the booking.
The apartment was very dated and run down, all of which could of been excused if it had been cleaned properly. There was dust and dead bugs through out the apartment, spider webs over everything and the dishes weren't clean.

Liked: Amenities
Could do with new blind or drapes in the bedroom, maybe a make.over is due
Have a change of bed linen would be nice and extra towels
something to clean the floors with
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
Terrible , dirty , unsafe , had a big crack in ranch slider held together with tape , kitchen falling apart, rubbish in the wardrobe ,theres no pool acess like it says in listing. steer well clear of this place
Communication with the host was good, the living room looked clean, the bathroom had mold, cobwebs in different areas and lamps, the bathroom drain gave off an acidic smell and most of the furniture is worn and old, in the next door a Rooster. I would rate the overall cleanliness at 8/10
