Simply Fantastic!

We traveled through New Zealand for a month and stayed exclusively at VRBOs. This was our favorite VRBO. Suzanne went out of her way to ensure we were settled and to connect with us. The location is ideal for visiting Christchurch and is minutes away from Sumner ..a cute beach town. The apartment is better than in the pictures. Very spacious, has everything you need, comfy beds, sparkly clean, and has a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy. You could not ask for anything more and the best part of all is how reasonably priced it is for the area. Thank you Suzanne for our wonderful stay.
