Light filled townhouse. Stroll to river, Te Pae and central city.
About this condo rental
The perfect base for your Christchurch Stay, located truly in the heart of the city. A sleek contemporary townhouse with the added bonus of a courtyard garden. Leave the car at home and simply step out the door - a vast array of eateries, shops and other amenities is just a short stroll away. Wander to the Avon river and follow the riverside walking trail to Te Pae, Oxford Terrace or further to the Botanic Gardens or the burgeoning Arts Precinct. The north facing open-plan living is cleverly designed to bring the outdoors in. Large bifold doors can be pushed back to connect the securely fenced wraparound courtyard garden extending the living area and creating a superb sense of space. A gas fire lends ambience to the sitting area and overlooking the dining area is a beautiful high spec kitchen with a gas cooktop and stainless steel counter. Upstairs, arranged along a light-filled gallery, are three double bedrooms, including a spacious master with WIR and tiled en suite plus a family bathroom with separate bath. Off street parking is either inside the internal access garage (small cars only) or in front of the garage. NB The open staircase makes this home unsuitable for babies, toddlers and the less mobile.

Beautiful place and great location. Unfortunately neither of the fireplaces worked (which were the featured items in the listing) and there were things like no Kleenex, no coffee maker and most importantly no instructions for anything. It would have been so extremely helpful to have instructions for many of the different heating etc in the home.

We had a perfect stay in this centrally-located stylish townhouse. The light-filled great room and totally modern kitchen were our headquarters by day and the cozy bedrooms with luxury baths (loved the water pressure) provided a welcome refuge at night. We were able to walk everywhere in central Christchurch. A top VRBO!

We had a Lovely stay in this unit, close to the city, great location. Clean and lovely modern decor. We appreciated the lovely welcome note and complimentary bottle of wine from Ken and Jenny. We would recommend adding to the property listing information about there being no TV.

Close to city center and a nice place to come back to after seeing the sites and shopping. Great communication with the hosts, clean, like a home away from home.
3.0
Communication with the owner was so great that it’s difficult for me to give this a less than a perfect review. It is very light. VERY. There are no shades in the living areas and hallway which means that you have to keep moving around as the sun comes up/goes down to keep the glare out of your eyes. Also makes you question the privacy a bit. It was swelteringly hot and the lack of shade just kept intensifying it. This is where Ken gets an A+ for communication and effort. I let him know that it was pretty uncomfortable and he had some fans delivered which we put together. I give this a less than 5 star not for the heat because he worked to resolve that, but because you can’t darken areas except the bedrooms, there are no tvs, nightstands or bedroom lamps. Also, it was noisy, the neighbors across the way especially.

Lovely spacious townhouse with generous bedrooms and lots of gorgeous natural light. Would highly recommend.

Lovely light filled house, close to town and Hadley Park. A nice touch finding a bottle of wine waiting for us. Bedrooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. There were a few comforts missing such as bedside tables and lamps but nothing we couldn’t do without. The inside fire was great and easy to use, unfortunately the outside fire was not working. Thanks Ken for a lovely stay

Amazing property close to everything. Beautiful house with everything you could possibly want. We we're catching up with friends and the house provided great areas to socialise in and do this. Will certainly be back in future if available. Couldn't have asked for better.

This is a great house for visiting ChristChurch. It is walking distance from the heart of town, so easy to walk to restaurants, the botanical gardens or stores. The house is very zen -- super clean, uncluttered and yet very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. We appreciated having a garage -- made packing and unpacking easy. Very nice place.

This is a stunning house, perfect for a city getaway to celebrate our mother-in-law’s birthday. It is located only a short walk to the city centre and is on a quiet street. Having a garage/parking was a bonus for us. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. Communication from Ken was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Great location, plenty of space/light, modern fixtures & fittings.
We chose this place to stay for our daughters graduation, and because of this we arrived to a bottle of bubbles from Ken & Jenny, very thoughtful!!!

Well designed home incorporating a sleek interior, expansive glass and privacy as well. Comfortable beds with quality linens. Parking in the garage with a small/mid SUV wasn't a problem. Two bedrooms with ensuite and a half bath on the lower level was perfect for two couples.

Modern apartment. Great place to stay and close to Christchurch city centre. Host Kevin and his wife responded quickly to enquiries via messenger facility. Will book again if available…

Our stay at this property was fantastic. Even though we were in town for work (wifi was great by the way), we were able to enjoy this central city location that is an easy walk to just about anywhere. The home itself is stunning and the beds are super comfortable. The hosts are excellent communicators and were super responsive to any questions that we had. I give them 6 stars (on a 5-star scale)! ******

5.0
This is a gorgeous house in a great, central location. Despite being so close to everything, you don’t feel like it’s really noisy or busy. Two walls on the main level are glass doors that open up to let in all of the fresh air and sunlight. They were my favorite parts of the house. Everything is comfortable and well-appointed and the garage was a fantastic bonus for us. Ken was also great to work with and very communicative - easy check-in and check-out, and there was a yummy bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. Because the main staircase is circular and open, families with very small children will need to be careful, but it’s not impossible. Add a couple of throw blankets and shower soap/shampoo and it would be absolutely perfect. As it is, I’d happily stay here again and I highly recommend it. It’s one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. Thanks for a great experience!

This property is an excellent place to stay. Great location, loads of room and all the extras in a home away from home. Hosts had great communication and easy directions on arrival. Would highly recommend this.
