About this property

Light filled townhouse. Stroll to river, Te Pae and central city.

The perfect base for your Christchurch Stay, located truly in the heart of the city. A sleek contemporary townhouse with the added bonus of a courtyard garden. Leave the car at home and simply step out the door - a vast array of eateries, shops and other amenities is just a short stroll away. Wander to the Avon river and follow the riverside walking trail to Te Pae, Oxford Terrace or further to the Botanic Gardens or the burgeoning Arts Precinct.

The north facing open-plan living is cleverly designed to bring the outdoors in. Large bifold doors can be pushed back to connect the securely fenced wraparound courtyard garden extending the living area and creating a superb sense of space. A gas fire lends ambience to the sitting area and overlooking the dining area is a beautiful high spec kitchen with a gas cooktop and stainless steel counter.

Upstairs, arranged along a light-filled gallery, are three double bedrooms, including a spacious master with WIR and tiled en suite plus a family bathroom with separate bath.

Off street parking is either inside the internal access garage (small cars only) or in front of the garage.

NB The open staircase makes this home unsuitable for babies, toddlers and the less mobile.

Centrally located townhouse.

Modern, stylish, sunny townhouse on two levels, living areas on lower level. Well appointed modern appliances we were able to be self sufficient or dine out as town house a short walk to restaurants. Highly recommended central city accommodation.

Central delight

Very comfortable beds. It was like sleeping on a cloud. The house looks at it does in the pictures. It is central but a bit of a walk to the market right in downtown. Lucky lime scooters are everywhere! Plenty of space for 6 adults. The bean bag was popular! Would be nice to have had a little milk in the house for morning coffee as there was not an open convenience store nearby. No TV but we weren't there for that. The gas fire was lovely and a nice surprise. Thank you for the gift on arrival Ken and Jenny!

Light filled house

Lovely light filled house, close to town and Hadley Park. A nice touch finding a bottle of wine waiting for us. Bedrooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. There were a few comforts missing such as bedside tables and lamps but nothing we couldn’t do without. The inside fire was great and easy to use, unfortunately the outside fire was not working. Thanks Ken for a lovely stay

Best Accommodation Ever

Amazing property close to everything. Beautiful house with everything you could possibly want. We we're catching up with friends and the house provided great areas to socialise in and do this. Will certainly be back in future if available. Couldn't have asked for better.

Stunning house

This is a stunning house, perfect for a city getaway to celebrate our mother-in-law’s birthday. It is located only a short walk to the city centre and is on a quiet street. Having a garage/parking was a bonus for us. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. Communication from Ken was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Even though it was next to a busy street it was quieter than expected. Had everything we could need and we felt warmly welcomed when we arrived to the property. Use of garage was nice— it fit our Toyota hilander just fine. Nice walk to town to experience Christchurch. Thank you!
