Lovely house
The house was very tidy. Relaxed atmosphere with everything accomodated to us for a comfy stay. Having a pool table and spa pool was an extra bonus. We are very likely to return in the future. Ideal accomodation close to the airport and drive into the city. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Our group of seven had a fabulous stay. Plenty of room for everyone. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms funtional. We loved arriving to a warm house. It had such a homely feel about it. We'd absolutely stay again.

Awesome service
The property is beautiful, modern, and family-friendly. The kids enjoyed using Alexa, the games room and the spa. Very warm, comfy beds, everything you could need in the kitchen. Great communication and service from the property managers. Highly recommend it, and we'd definitely stay again.

Great location - Great experience
Ohana was perfect for us. Clean, bright and well appointed, it had everything we needed (and more - the pool room and spa helped to occupy a teenager). It is situated very close to the airport - we had an early morning flight - and yet was still relatively close to the city centre. The Antarctic Centre is just minutes away (well worth visiting). It is located on a busy road but this didn't pose a problem for us.

Handy Christchurch Getaway
My family enjoyed this modern double storey home within 10 minutes of the airport, close to shopping centre and a mall. The 4 person spa and the pool table were great for relaxation, and the Alexa electronic home assistant was a new found treat, and when we got back home we bought our own Amazon Echo Show to control our lights and play that awesome NZ radio channel The Breeze. The only slight downside for us was some traffic noise during business hours, but as we were out and about during the day this was not an issue. We would stay there again.

This was a great place to stay. The Alexa was a highlight and most of the beds were comfortable. We didn't have time to experience the spa but we would stay here again.

Perfect location with all the bells and whistles
We had a great stay! The location is so close to the city and also close to the airport. The pool table and spa are such perfect touches to spend time together if you’re travelling as a group. If you’re wanting total privacy when outside, be mindful that the neighbours are extremely close, but we had no issues with this at all. Phil was very fast and efficient with communication and even sent one of our party members shoes back that he left. All in all a great place to stay.
