A charming blend of history and comfort awaits in this 1910 family bungalow. Featuring three inviting double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living area, this home is perfect for families or small groups seeking both character and convenience. Stay cozy year-round with two large heat pumps, and enjoy the expansive fully fenced section—offering privacy, tranquility, and plenty of space to relax.

Despite its peaceful garden setting, you're just a 5-minute walk from the cafés and shops of Edgeware Village and a 15-minute stroll to Christchurch Central, making it the ideal retreat close to the city's heart.

Our cleaning fees reflect the level of care and detail our housekeeping team provide in our homes. While you may be staying in a regular family home, our intention is to provide hotel-quality comfort for your stay, regardless of the type of property. This requires extensive cleaning after each check-out to ensure every guest is able to experience our properties at their best. Our cleans also include hotel-quality linen on all our beds, bathroom toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner, as well as tea, coffee & hot chocolate for your first couple of days.

For stays exceeding 14 days, a mid-stay clean is required to keep the property at the highest standards. If you would also like a linen change please let us know so we can book this in for the same time. Mid-stay cleans or linen changes for stays less than 14 days are optional. This service can be booked through your personal Guest Boarding Pass.
Our house rules are located in our guestbook and your service agreement which will be sent to you via email. If you have any further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.
