We had a lovely stay in Susan’s studio. The place is really comfortable and well equiped with everything you need. Shower is great and the comfy bed made for restful sleeps. Easy access to trails that take you up to Summit Rd and beyond!

Beautiful, spacious, well-appointed self-contained unit on the ground floor of a multilevel home. Host communication was easy, and description and instructions were accurate. The bathroom is lovely and the shower pressure is perfect, however the current window blind does little to provide privacy. A shuttered blind would rectify this issue and our host was very receptive to our concerns on that matter.One towel per person seems to be the standard issue irrespective of stay length, though potentially additional linen may be requested, we just didn't ask.The walk in wardrobe was a pleasant surprise, great to keep our cases and belongings out of the living area.The stylish kitchenette had everything we needed. We particularly liked the mix of soft and bright lighting in the unit, something often overlooked and underestimated.This stay absolutely met our expectations and needs. The hub of Redcliffe is a 30 second drive downhill with Sumner a mere 5 minute drive away. This neighbourhood is quiet, affluent and peaceful. Highly recommend this stay.

A perfect place for a couple to stay in Christchurch for a few days. Convenient to a lot of places in Christchurch but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Bathroom was spacious with heated floor and wonderful water pressure.
