Lovely comfortable apartment, just round the corner from the huge Christchurch playground which is awesome if you have young kids (be prepared to be hounded about going daily!)

Everything was perfect 👌

Definitely will be booking this place again on my next visit to Christchurch. It has everything you could want, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, lounge room, balcony and single lockable garage. The 2 bathroom were well appointed and the water pressure fantastic. Enjoyed the nespresso pod machine every morning though you are spoilt for choice with the many delicious cafes/restaurants on offer. The property is within walking distance to all the main attractions. I would note if you have mobility issues there are a set of internal stairs from the garage to main living floor (fine for us). WiFi connection is strong and the chocolates and popcorn welcome gift was a nice touch. You can tell Rachel and Troy gave careful consideration when designing this property, very chic.

Nothing :)

Urban Retreat was comfortable, cosy, close to downtown Christchurch (within walking distance) and the hosts were very responsive and checked in to ensure our comfort. There were snacks (sweet and savory) on arrival, the beds were comfortable, the place was clean, and there were detailed instructions on how to access property and how to and where to around the property. It was also close to a huge playground with a water park for kids (my little one loved it!)

Space was limited, which I realise is the nature of a townhouse. Nothing major, just limited space for luggage in bedrooms, and the dining table was small.

The location was perfect - able to walk to the city easily. Quiet location - no street noise. Loved the heated floors in the bathroom. The little snacks provided were a great bonus.

Nothing at all!

Absolutely beautiful, well maintained, everything you could possibly need! Easy access, private, comfortable & spacious. And a great location. Rachel was so lovely & easy to chat to & she went out of her way to accommodate our needs.

Perfect location and property is amazing! Everything you could need. One of the best stays we have had throughout New Zealand. Recommend highly! We could not fault this place.

- Showers need a shelf to put toiletries so they don’t have to sit on the floor. - The large window above the stairs doesn’t have a blind and the kitchen blind just lifts up leaving the window exposed so this offers no privacy. Venetian type blinds would be more practical. The host had warned us that the outside of the building would be cleaned whilst we were there- so we had a few days of guys on ladders cleaning windows around us so this added to the lack of privacy with the blind situation. - Electronic key pad for front door access is convenient but we felt a bit unsafe wondering if many others also know the code or if it gets changed after each guest has stayed? It would be great if the door had a chain on it that guests could use for extra security when inside. - Bedrooms could do with ceiling fans as it was a bit stuffy at night. It looked like the property had ducted air-con but we couldn’t find any control panel. There is a split system air con unit in the living room but the air doesn’t flow through to the bedrooms very much. - Several reed diffusers in the apartment- I am not sensitive to these usually but the scent was unpleasant and too strong (we had to put them away in a cupboard to reduce the smell). - Apartment is a bit tricky to find initially within the complex (particularly as we arrived at night- but complex is well lit).

- Modern, well-equipped, and quiet property. It is a large apartment complex but we were not disturbed by any noise from other residents. - Good inner city location. - Very comfortable beds and pillows. - Having two bathrooms is very convenient and it’s great they both have natural light in them. - A very good supply of tissues, toilet paper, tea/coffee, etc. A few snacks were also provided. - Host kept in touch during our week long stay and was very communicative and friendly.

No blinds or day curtain for the window overlooking the stairs. Felt like people could look in.

Good location, clean and had all the things you needed for a good stay.

Nothing negative to say about this property.

This place is amazing. Everything we needed. The most comfortable beds. Very close walk to CBD. Communication was excellent from the owner who also left some lovely treats for us. 10 out of 10 quality furnishings and technology in the apartment. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Nothing to not like

Location is superb and quality of the whole apartment great.The lockup garaging on site a real plus

The bedrooms are on the smaller side, but adequate

The apartment was presented perfectly. I liked the location close to CBD and well equiped kitchen. The apartment was made to feel homely with nice furnishings and were very generous in providing toiletries and dishwasher etc. plus the bowl of treats.

It was difficult to order a Taxi from the carpark of the property, as most companies couldn't find it. That made it tricky when leaving with all our luggage. But otherwise it was easy enough from the street if you walked out.

The only thing i found annoying was ordering uber eats l. The uber drivers had a hard time finding the place as the layout is a bit strange. Now in saying that i did keave detailed instructions on how to find the place for them but they didnt read them and we ended up having to go look for them. Thats on the drivers not the apartment. I think out of all the times we ordered food in only 2 of them read the instructions.

The apartment was fantastic. Very fancy and i felt good value for what we paid. The second bathroom was a nice surprise and it was very warm and comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and check up on us half way through our stay. Great communication. Will definitely stay here again if i get the chance.

Nothing comes to mind!

This apartment was clean, modern, comfortable and perfectly located in central Christchurch, with dedicated parking space. Host was communicative and available. Very comfy beds. Strong wifi a plus for those who need to do remote work. Would not hesitate to book again!!

There was nothing to dislike at all!

We liked everything. The apartment itself was amazing, beautiful decor, comfortable beds, everything we could want, a home away from home. The location was fantastic, so close to absolutely everywhere.

Location fabulous, beautifully decorated apartment. Warm and very comfortable, kitchen well equipped. Beds very luxurious.

I think the cleaners need to honour the beautiful apartment by paying attention to detail..when cleaning . just a few things missed

it was like a beautiful holiday home.Classy and Welcoming at the same time .With special little treats, magazines cook books puzzles and coffee capsules included in the price

Stayed in March 2023

we often had trouble getting the front door to open but that was probably due to us doing something wrong with the keypad

close to city centre, warm, great comfortable bed, quiet, garage
