Maison du Soleil, warmth in Chistchurch

This brand new property is offered to discerning travelers for the very first time. This house shares, with its twin next door, a warm and welcoming facade. Once inside, you will find a stylish two-bedroom accommodation in which to consolidate and rest after your journey.

Everything you need for a comfortable and independent stay is provided: Full kitchen, washing and drying facilities, comfortable beds, Sky TV, full WiFi Broadband, land line for local calls etc. There is a heat pump in the living area and panel heaters in the generous bedrooms.

In true Garden City style, the landscaping creates an individual point of difference that you are unlikely to experience anywhere else. If you’re wondering about her name, she is Aphrodite, a fountain of joy, beauty and love.

For larger groups, this property is affiliated with the adjoining house (Maison du Ciel, Bookabach #35473) and, via a garden gate, a third property (Maison Rouge, Bookabach #33579). So it is possible for larger groups to stay in close proximity, yet maintain privacy when required.

Note that Master Bed 1 can be either joined to make a King double or split into two King single beds - let me know your preference.

The neighbourhood is quiet, but not far from the restaurants and cafes at the northern end of Stanmore Road. Other local facilities include a nearby supermarket, bus routes and Richmond Playground. A little further afield lies the Wilding Park Tennis centre and The Palms Shopping Mall.

There is off-street parking for one car in front of the single garage (remote entry available). Inside is naturally warm and spacious. Double glazing adds to this warmth and adds to the peaceful ambience of the locale.

Although I prefer 2 day bookings, I will take single night bookings at $220. Make an enquiry for a speedy response.

We had a wonderful stay at this bach in Christchurch. The place was clean, cozy, and very well maintained, making it feel instantly welcoming. The location is excellent—close to supermarkets and a great selection of restaurants, which made everything so convenient. The bach was well stocked and thoughtfully set up, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Easily one of the best accommodations we stayed at in New Zealand. Highly recommended, and we would happily stay here again.

Inviting and Comfortable

We really enjoyed our weekend at this property. It's a lovely home that has been thoughtfully decorated and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. It's a short walk to a New World supermarket so self-catering is easy especially with the well-equipped kitchen. Would definitely book again.
