Town House with Courtyard Garden

We are an artist and a designer living in a beautifully renovated 70sqm 1970s ‘Christchurch Modern’ apartment, located just five minutes walk from the city centre. Guests are welcome to use our 2017 Hybrid Suzuki Ignis and two bikes—one a standard road bike and the other electric. Our recently updated kitchen and bathrooms are well-equipped and in excellent condition. The home is comfortable and dry, warmed by a wood burner on cooler nights. Christchurch’s temperate climate rarely gets extremely hot, so natural ventilation keeps the space cool. We’re in a diverse neighbourhood on the east side of the city. This is the perfect base to discover Ōtautahi Christchurch and its beautiful surroundings. Within five minutes by bike, you’ll reach the arts and cultural precinct and the Botanic Gardens. Our local pub, Pomeroy’s, is a five-minute walk away, and we own the nearby café ‘Peaches’, known for excellent coffee. The Otakaro River, with its wild community gardens, cafe and walkways, is a 10 minute walk away. The stunning Banks Peninsula with its beautiful swimming bays is just half an hour drive South, while incredible mountain scenery and skiing is about a two-hour drive West. Excellent boutique vineyards like Black Estate and Greystone are an hour’s drive North. Local beaches and rivers are close by to the East. We’re happy to recommend the best local galleries, cafes and restaurants, and provide any tips for your travels. Heart our place if you have ever wanted to visit Aotearoa, New Zealand! We understand we are far away so certainly no pressure, but happy to be an option fr your travels :)
