The Perfect Holiday Home

I couldn't have found a better place to stay. Warm, cosy, clean, and well positioned with everything I could need. Tracy and Steve were generous and very accommodating. The home is beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the gift basket was a lovely unexpected bonus. I will definitely be going back sometime.

Amazing ... we loved it!

Tracy is the perfect host. The house was perfectly prepared with great linen, atmosphere and location. You couldn't hope for better. The bonus for us was being able to bring Max our poodle. We had lovely days relaxing with visits from our Christchurch family. The afternoons were bliss with the sun beaming in on cold winters days. Weather didn't permit us to use the lovely outdoor setting, our visit being mid-winter in an exceptionally cold snap. We were cozy with either the reverse cycle air con or the amazing bionic fire. Tracy left us her lovely hens eggs and treats for max, which we appreciated as well as saying we were welcome to use some other items (which of course we didn't as this was more than generous). We seriously did relax and just enjoy, We will be back and know that a lot of hard work goes in to preparing and maintaining a property to this standard. Well done!

Lovely Home and Host

We loved our stay in this home, especially the glass doors that open onto the lovely deck which makes for a comfy indoor-outdoor experience. Tracy was a perfect host and provided everything we needed and more. The beach walk around the corner was so enjoyable, and Christchurch is a wonderful city with so much to do. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, cozy home in great location

We loved our stay at Tracy’s home in Christchurch! The home itself and gardens were spotless, comfortable and well equipped with everything we might need for our stay. The location was great, a 2 minute walk to the beach and coastal walkway, and a short drive to the city of Christchurch- always a great place to come back to at the end of the day. Tracy was charming and wonderful about check-in and thoughtful in providing special additions that made us feel welcome. We highly recommend!

Delightful stay in Redcliffs

This is an amazing home just steps from the beautiful waterfront and the lovely Redcliffs neighborhood. It was our last few days in Christchurch and we experienced astonishing sunrises from huge bedroom windows, lovely walks on Sumner Beach and meals at the charming local restaurants. Tracy was an extremely accommodating and helpful host. We had a terrific visit.

We loved our time at Tracy’s home. A lovely spot to relax and great location for two couples. The house was clean, comfortable, well stocked and nicely decorated. Tracy was an exceptional host both before and after our visit. She went out of her way to contact us about some wine we left behind and then helped to ship it to us to our next location. Thank you Tracy for your help. We would highly recommend to others and would stay there again.

Perfect getaway beside the water!

Tracy’s cottage was fantastic and we felt right at home. She has equipped it with everything you could possibly need for a great holiday away and it is a stone’s throw from the beach. Around the corner is a convenience store, spa, hair salon, chippy, library, coffee shop (2 actually). The list goes on! Great place to stay and thank you to Tracy for making us feel so welcome with the comfortable beds, soft towels…for everything!

I’m very much a local. My grandparents lived 5 minutes away from this home forty years ago & my children all went to the local school. I LOVE sharing my stunning neighbourhood of Redcliffs with others. It’s a treat to be on this beachside of the city..

Why they chose this property

Everything you want is nearby
The Port of Lyttelton is over the hill or through the tunnel just minutes from my location. Lyttelton has cafē’s & restaurants
Sumner (3mins away)has a large cave to walk through & a swimming beach, restaurants & cafē’s. Redcliffs has a 40 minute return hill cave walk & Estury walks & has two awesome cafē’s & other shops

What makes this property unique

Sun-drenched cute modern home right on the water & Coastal walkway. Central to everything
