Great spot near the beach
Nice and close to the beach. Communication was great and the room had everything needed to cook a small meal. Outside of the busyness of Christchurch, this is a great town to visit and place to stay.

6/10 Good

Despite helpfullness at office, was disappointed on arrival to find my door was awry on its hinges and wouldn't shut. (It was fixed later which was good). AlsoThe bathroom basin plug was jammed closed so unable to let water out. I felt that the cleaners must have noticed these faults and should have reported them to the office. Other than that it was a clean and pleasant apartment and I would consider booking again.
