Guests staying at this apartment have access to a patio. Parking on-site is available and the apartment also offers bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area.

Really enjoyed staying here, great hosts who very thoughtfully supplied age appropriate toys for our toddler. The location is great - Merivale mall is approx. 100m away, with restaurants and supermarket. City centre is possible to walk to (rather than driving), and if you're a runner you can make a circuit of Hagley park from here (Botanical gardens, etc. there). The place is almost new, great size for a small family or two couples. Appreciated the kitchen had all the small things you needed like food wrap, cleaner, etc. so you don't have to buy it. Outside space is small but very usable. No off-street parking, but free parking on the street was easy to find. Highly recommended

    The staff were always pleased to assist us with our requests. They helped make our stay more memorable. The food at the restaurant was excellent, location for access to the city centre was ideal. It was also great to be given a free drink voucher for the bar. We don't usually take our dog on trips, but we thought we would give it a go because they are pet friendly. This facility was also excellent and right near a couple of parks. We will be back
