"The views for this property are absolutely stunning, and it’s nice to be on Cass Bay instead of the middle of the larger downtown of Christchurch. This house was extremely clean and modern and easily accommodated our family of five. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the communication with the host was excellent. They were very communicative and clear about everything. Would definitely recommend this for anyone traveling to this area!"
