The property is beautiful. It is peaceful and a stone throw a way from the hustle and bustle in the city . I travelled everyday from the airport for work. I looked forward to coming (home). Doug will also give you a list of cost effective must sees around the area.
Thank you for having me.
Beautiful location and very nice accommodation. Loved staying here and the heated pool was an absolute bonus. So peaceful. Would stay again.

We were delighted with the lovely apartment.
We were delighted with the lovely apartment. It had every possible amenity we needed and more. Very warm and comfortable and we appreciated the little touches of fresh fruit and flowers in vases.
Overall this was a fantastic accomodation exactly as described on VRBO. Very clean and quiet which suited our needs perfectly. The owners were quick to reply if we had any questions.
We would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Nest. The apartment was perfectly clean and comfortable and had all one could ask for. A smaller supermarket and shop were close by, Rangiora a bit further but perfect for us. We walked miles and enjoyed the evenings outside. The pool was a tad cool for us but all else perfect!
Very nice place great location for the wedding we had just around the corner
Well presented clean and very tidy.
Walking on the wet grass this time of year with nice shoes was not good.
And the couch was a bit uncomfortable but overall I would very happily stay here again,
Thanks
We really enjoyed the location, the privacy of the property, and the beautifully landscaped grounds. Our unit was cozy, had an impressive bath suite, and we appreciated having access to laundry equipment. We do have a couple of suggestions. Our stay would have been perfect if there had been a way to cook simple meals inside the unit. Not much fun BBQing in the rain. The living room would be well served with the addition of a comfortable loveseat and chairs. What was provided really needs updating. Thank you, thank you for sharing your property with us. We loved having use of the pool.

Short stay
Great bathroom, kitchen inside/outside? Don’t go for the swimming pool as not heated/ limited times
Was a tranquil setting. However the timing of the watering system was poor and made it difficult to have my mum enter through the water. Pointed right at the entry. Nice to have fruit and bickie welcome with milk in the fridge. Nice size for two people but I feel if you were a family wouldn't suit. One bedroom we were in.
Great country location so close to Christchurch city. Hosts were friendly, place was clean modern and well set out and the grounds and pool were lovely, great experience all round.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect set up for the four of us, (we have two teenage children) as I liked having us all in one area. It’s a nice big space and the main bedroom area feels separate with the blinds closed. It was all lovely and clean and Doug and Ali had thought of absolutely everything. Lovely garden setting too and we all had a lovely dip in the gorgeous pool. Thanks very much :)
Fantastic Doug & Ali, love the hospitality. Love the quietness so peaceful.
