Maison de ville chaleureuse et authentique dans la rue la plus charmante du cœur de notre ville

Come stay in our newly fully renovated two-storey townhouse. Ours is a rare find on one of the most desirable streets in the city centre.

You'll live like a Christchurch local, feeling the warmth of a genuine home. (The city has a lot of dense units for accommodation- ours is not one of those.) We're a family- this is our spacious townhouse, part of a true neighbourhood.

Full, private access to the blissfully peaceful house. Lots of natural light. You're on a residential street, yet only minutes walk to the best of the city. There's one off-street carpark.

Why it's lovely:
— Both modern and cosy. New, premium wool carpet on both floors feels delightfully soft on your feet. Kitchen is fully-equipped with new appliances and the bathroom is brand new, full tile.
— It's a townhouse, not an apartment. Unlike many cookie-cutter builds in the centre, the townhouse was designed by a local architect, featuring geometric details.
— One of the best streets in town. Calm and idyllic, yet right in the heart.
— Skylight in the Main Bedroom. We love falling asleep stargazing and waking up to natural light. (If you don't want to be woken up by daylight, we recommend the Second Bedroom or bringing an eye mask.)
— Our “Aotearoa” road sign or selfie wall.

Please note: This is not a home for parties or loud music. Our neighbours are quiet families.

Access:
The townhouse is all yours during your stay. If you have questions, we live locally, always happy to help.

Parking:
One dedicated, off-street carpark.

Layout:
The place is spacious. On the ground floor, the open kitchen has new appliances. The dining area has a Regency wood dining table, perfect for family dinners (or as a workspace). The living area has comfy leather sofas and a Smart TV. Our outdoor patio is calm and a good size.

Upstairs, the Main Bedroom has a queen bed and the Second Bedroom has two singles. For bedding, we chose premium natural materials over synthetics, including cotton and down. The bathroom’s been entirely remodelled, featuring a curved window and new fittings. Note: In the Second Bedroom, the two single beds are longer than a standard single but a bit more narrow. So larger adults may prefer sleeping in the Main Bedroom.
