simple and homely feel to the house. felt like an air bnb. missed the host in person the whole stay until the last day however communicated with her through messaging =] , the host updated/helped me with everything/my needs and efficient with replying. facilities were great , bathroom very clean.
no washing machine, however the host let me use the washing machine upstairs. (I ended up handwashing because I wasn't sure how to use the washing machine/host was out) not that close to the city centre, however I didnt mind as I had a car.

Jill was amazing and great help to settle in and get my bearing for local transport to the town centre and the cricket venue. Bed was really comfy and I had full use of the whole downstairs. Quiet location which suited me and bus service was excellent and easy to work out where you wanted to go
Although not a real problem as I enjoy walking but if you don't have a car it is quite a steep walk from the main road but passing some lovely houses meant it didn't cause me any issues

Breakfast was generous and exactly what I wanted. A peaceful, quiet location conveniently located to the event I was attending. Jill was a friendly and thoughtful host who is clearly offering visitors to Christchurch a comfortable and enjoyable experience because she likes meeting people and sharing her lovely home. The new stadium currently under construction is less than 6k from Whaka Heights. Catch a peek from the garden.
Can't think of a thing.

Very clean and great facilities available if needed. Breakfast was lovely and fresh. Room was a good size and parking on site was easy. Good quiet location. Lovely owner.
The bed was a little bit too soft and 'bouncy' than what we are used to, so we woke up a number of times during the night whenever either one of us moved around in the bed which was a little bit unsettling. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

The area available includes two rooms on the ground floor plus a private bathroom, as well as a space to sit in the garden. The place is very beautiful and green, with a nice view, and the owners are kind and helpful. The room is very comfortable, and the bathroom is nice and clean. There is a small kitchenette in the hallway and a fridge available in the living room.
Maybe the kitchenette is a bit too far from the dining room.

Jill (the host) was very good at communicating with me with regards to dropping in my luggage earlier than the usual check in time. She responds promptly via the booking messaging service. Jill was very accommodating and helpful during my stay for 1 night. The room, kitchenette and living/dining space downstairs is immaculate. She puts alot of care and attention into making the place feel homely. It’s well worth the stay for such a reasonable cost. Many thanks Jill : D

Splendid low-hillside location with nice views. 7-minute walk to the nearest bus stop. Includes a spacious living/activity room in addition to the perfectly-sized bedroom with its bright and pleasant private bathroom.
There is nothing not to like about this fine property.

I liked the appearance, attractiveness and cleanliness. Every possible thing I would have needed was available to me including access to the ground floor which included a large entertainment/study room with refrigerator and dining table and chairs and a private patio where I could sit and have my coffee. I appreciated Jill’s offer of transportation to the bus stop as I was travelling without a car. So very kind. There is ample parking space for those with a vehicle.

Great continental breakfast provided fresh each day as per my daily order. great city views from the garden. Nice quiet location with SKY TV access when I wanted to relax and watch some sport!
It would be nice to have a small table/chair in the bedroom - possibly in place of the sofa bed?

For what I was doing the location was good as it was around the corner from where I needed to be. I didn't have a car and the accommodation was across the city from the airport so I got a shuttle. I don't think it was central to the city but there were a couple of restaurants within walking distance and I had access to a kitchenette which I hadn't expected. Over all was just what I needed. The breakfast was a bonus and the owner did her best to accommodate my dietary requirements, which was really kind of her. There was also an offer of a bicycle so getting about would have been ok.
I was a bit nervous of the dog. It had free rein in the house so could come down to the part I was staying in and to the front door. It wasn't nasty or vicious, in fact it looked playful and friend but I'm cautious of dogs especially when the owners are out. Had I returned when the owner was away, I wouldn't have felt safe opening the door with it there. I understand this is a personal issue but I wish I'd known there was a dog in residence before I booked. It's not to say I wouldn't have stayed but I would have made my caution known to the owner.
