Colin Harvey
A great cottage to stay in. Clean and tidy had everything we needed. Our host was excellent to communicate with
Andrea Smith
My second stay at City cottage and I will keep going back. Immaculately clean, great beds, warm and cosy. The kitchen is great for cooking at home with everything needed. Lovely private outdoor area. Location is great being very close to The Colombo, and a short drive to central city, but in a very quiet street. The owner cannot do enough to ensure everything is right and he is very nice to deal with. Excellent value for money and I have no negatives
Response from Owner
Hi Andrea. Thank you so much for your very kind review. It has been our pleasure to host you when you are in Christchurch visiting your daughter. Guests like yourself make it worthwhile sharing our little cottage. We look forward to seeing you next time you are down this way. Steve
