Apartment in Central City

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 583 reviews

Stylish, Comfortable Clock Tower View Apartment

Simply brilliant describes this high quality apartment. The large double glazed windows provides a sunny, light filled, quiet and very warm living space. There are views of the lane and the nearby city. To complement the modern contemporary furnishings of the inviting living area are quality kitchen appliances. The upstairs bedrooms also have views from their large windows. You may not want to leave the enveloping comfortable beds but if you do the master bedroom has doors opening onto a balcony for morning breakfast or coffee or quiet contemplation. The recently updated shower and toilet are upstairs. This apartment is sunny, warm and is a thoroughly enjoyable and luxurious space. The entire apartment is yours to enjoy! There is a security gate at the entrance to Clocktower Lane which closes at 7.00pm. Guests are provided with a code to the gate for full access. There is also large garage for parking with enough room for storage of ski or snowboarding equipment or bikes if necessary . This is a rarity in the central city. We thoroughly enjoy meeting our guests to welcome them and help make the stay more enjoyable. If you are arriving late however, it is no problem as there is a lock box at the door. We are always contactable for questions or queries and are happy to offer suggestions for restaurants, entertainment or recreation. Please have a look over our guidebook. This apartment really is in the heart of the city. Beautiful Hagley Park, Victoria Park, the Avon river, the City Shopping Precinct, the Art Gallery, Museum, Town Hall, City Library, Theatre Royal and excellent restaurants are all an easy walk away. Public transport is 1 minute walk. However the central city is all within easy and pleasant walking distance. There are taxi available or driving your own vehicle is simple if you wish to go a little further afield. There are great hire bikes over the road and are a wonderful way to experience the city. Driving your car to and from the apartment is simple. Driving around the central city is easy but from this apartment I really would recommend walking. The large garage provides ample storage for ski or snowboard gear or bikes etc If you require accommodation for a larger group, please look at our other Clocktower lane apartment. You may wish to consider combining both apartments for your group. Please note that there are 12 stairs to enter the apartment. This is a new listing but please do look at our reviews for our other properties. Please note- this property is fitted with an August smart lock. You will be invited to download the August app to gain smart access via your phone once your booking is confirmed. If you choose not to use this app or your phone is not operating- then there is personalised keypad access instead or an old fashioned key if you prefer.

Lyttelton Boatique House - Marina/Harbour Views

4.77 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews4 months ago

I cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that we had found a gem. The property is absolutely stunning, with every amenity you could possibly need. Whether it was the cozy and beautifully decorated rooms, the fully equipped kitchen, or the outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing, everything was spotless and thoughtfully arranged. But what truly set this experience apart was Frances. She is hands down the best host we’ve ever had! From her warm welcome to her prompt and thoughtful communication, she made us feel right at home. Frances went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, even leaving personalized touches that made the trip extra special. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate—Frances and her beautiful property will exceed all your expectations.

Jill's place is awesome. She is one of the hosts who just goes above and beyond ensuring the guests have a great time. The unit was super tidy and self contained - equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Very good breakfast was provided as well (including bread, butter, jam, eggs, fruit, muesli) and she even left some sweet treats for us :-) just beware that the signal isn't the best, but we didn't mind at all. The location was perfect for our start towards Arthurs pass :-) Very much recommended and would definitely stay again :-)

Dave was a very helpful host and the place was exactly as described and located in a quiet residential cul-de-sac. There are two natural areas close by, plus the river. Palms mall with a grocery store was 25 min walk. If you don't like walking or don't have a vehicle perhaps not right for you, but I loved getting my steps in through the parks and taking the bus. Would absolutely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. So quiet and peaceful with a stunning view. John and Gaynor made us feel right at home, thinking of little details to make us comfortable. We made use of the walking tracks nearby and the Saturday markets a short drive away in Lyttleton. Would recommend this space to anyone visiting the area.
