Spacious property with everything we needed

Finding a property to fit two adults who are not partners and two teen boys is hard work, and this property was perfect for us. Good size house, large property, easy parking and good array of equipment in the kitchen. We were close to the airport and an easy drive into the city for sight seeing, and recommendations to get to the dairy and fish and chip shop were excellent.

Lovely home close to the university

This home is very comfortable with everything one might want or need if you are staying for a short or extend period of time. It is in a pretty suburb, an easy stroll to the shops, extremely convenient to the University of Canterbury and the city and airport are also close by. Carmel is a lovely host and we cannot thank you enough for offering a pet friendly home.

Week at Avonhead

The property has a well equipped kitchen and tranquil garden at the back, both which made our stay memorable. A suggestion would be some fans for the inside as it can get quite hot and bbq facilities would've been nice as well. Other than that the property is close to all amenities and fully suited our purposes.
