About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Maison du Soleil, warmth in Chistchurch

This brand new property is offered to discerning travelers for the very first time. This house shares, with its twin next door, a warm and welcoming facade. Once inside, you will find a stylish two-bedroom accommodation in which to consolidate and rest after your journey.

Everything you need for a comfortable and independent stay is provided: Full kitchen, washing and drying facilities, comfortable beds, Sky TV, full WiFi Broadband, land line for local calls etc. There is a heat pump in the living area and panel heaters in the generous bedrooms.

In true Garden City style, the landscaping creates an individual point of difference that you are unlikely to experience anywhere else. If you’re wondering about her name, she is Aphrodite, a fountain of joy, beauty and love.

For larger groups, this property is affiliated with the adjoining house (Maison du Ciel, Bookabach #35473) and, via a garden gate, a third property (Maison Rouge, Bookabach #33579). So it is possible for larger groups to stay in close proximity, yet maintain privacy when required.

Note that Master Bed 1 can be either joined to make a King double or split into two King single beds - let me know your preference.

The neighbourhood is quiet, but not far from the restaurants and cafes at the northern end of Stanmore Road. Other local facilities include a nearby supermarket, bus routes and Richmond Playground. A little further afield lies the Wilding Park Tennis centre and The Palms Shopping Mall.

There is off-street parking for one car in front of the single garage (remote entry available). Inside is naturally warm and spacious. Double glazing adds to this warmth and adds to the peaceful ambience of the locale.

Although I prefer 2 day bookings, I will take single night bookings at $220. Make an enquiry for a speedy response.

Peaceful time in Christchurch

My wife & I with our 15 year old granddaughter, had a wonderful stay at Danielle's lovely home. It was clean, quiet, functional and great in every way possible. It was our fist lodging on our 3 week visit to New Zealand and was perfect for adjusting to time change and the friendliness of the New Zealanders!! Danielle is a gracious host. Highly recommend A stay at her place.
