Light and spacious, great location, very clean and very comfortable beds
We liked everything
This place is literally on the edge of the stadium
It's good value if you need 2 beds and bathrooms. A bit expensive for a couple but still worth it for the location
This very clean and very comfortable apartment was thoughtfully furnished. The kitchen was nicely supplied with quality cookware, dishes, utensils. An easy walk to town and the botanic gardens. Very nice bathrooms and showers with good water pressure. Excellent beds and quality bedding. A very ideal place. We stayed prior to the opening of the stadium, which is quite a short walk from the building.
Central to everything, beautiful apartment, comfortable and had all you needed for a wonderful stay.
Location. Comfy beds. Beautiful decor.
Nothing
It was in the centre of the city but there was no noise during the night, beds were super comfy, it was warm and easy to access
No dislikes what so ever
Clean, modern and good location.
ロケーションが非常に良い。レストランに行くにも、スーパーで買い物するにも便利。川沿いを散歩するにも格好のロケーションだった。キッチン等の設備も整っていた。料金もリーズナブル。
車のゲートの開閉はリモートキー、建物への入場はタッチキー、部屋の開閉は鍵と3種類の使い分けが必要。わかってしまえば簡単だが、最初戸惑って、別の宿泊者に聞いて建物に入った。その宿泊者もトリッキーで最初わからなかったと言っていた。簡単な説明があれば良かった。
Clean comfortable great location
Confusing to find location as the apartments are booked as Central City Apartments but instructions are to go to Preston Apartments. For someone that doesn’t travel regularly these little details can be confusing.
Clean & close to our office
Upstairs was a bit heavy footed with noise when walking
Great location & very quiet, will be back when the new stadium opens in Christchurch
The apartment is super clean and has all what we needed. It is better and bigger than we expected. Easy check-in with clear instructions. Available Parking place is very helpful too. Central location walking distances to the popular places.
Great location & can walk everywhere in central chch. Car park great. Beds comfy. Extremely well appointed which is unusual in most airbnbs. The spacious lounge dining & kitchen were the heroes, all faultless. Comfortable lounge furniture was so appreciated. The deck is a fabulous bonus. Kitchen the best equipped I’ve come across.
The bedrooms were on the small side & felt stuffy as the windows barely open. When we arrived the place was extremely hot & airless. Would’ve been nice to at least have the ac on or security windows open. An extra set of keys is needed.
It was clean abd had everything required for our overnight stay.
No outlook or viewover anything.
Quiet location was within walking distance to Christchurch city. Parking bay available.
Very small 2 bed/bath unit.
地理位置很好,靠近市中心,停车也很方便。设施齐全,房间很舒适,总体很棒!
Extremely helpful contact person. Location fantastic, loved 2 bedrooms/ 2 bathrooms for privacy. Very light, comfortably furnished, and supercomfy beds. The showers had fantastic pressure and lots of hot water.
Please note these are minor things and would definitely not stop me from using The Olive again. The many fragrant oils were not asthma friendly! Had to shut them all away! Also, the microwave was on shelf just below ceiling level - a bad accident waiting to happen if anyone was brave enough to stand on chair to access. Better option to put inside the large cupboard on one of the shelves. Also TV was stuck on Samsung Live TV so couldn't get normal TV.
Location was fab, the apartment was thoughtfully furnished, with fantastic kitchen facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would book to stay again 🤓
Great location and facilities
The location was very good.
We would’ve liked another arm chair in lounge room. The lack of a mirror in the bedroom made it a bit difficult.
Clean, excellent communication from host. Well appointed kitchen.
Very clean, modern, secure building with parking. Comfy beds and very well appointed kitchen. Great to have two bathrooms and a washing machine. Quiet complex close enough to walk to city sites and botanic gardens as well as public transport.
The only small issues were the scented sticks throughout the apartment, we had to put them away into a cupboard, and the microwave was so high above tge fridge it's a bit risky getting hot things out.
距离纸板教堂很近,整套公寓非常大,非常适合两家人一起入住. 房东把所有的卫生间设备都配了两套,没错,包括两套吹风机+造型棒~~太细致了 打开厨房的抽屉和柜门,竟然连筷子都有呢!十几套相关用品,真的太优秀了. 客厅内的电视机也是一个惊喜,不用的时候吗,它是一个高雅的配饰:)
微波炉有点高,矮个子会够不着T_T
Clean, tidy and modern in a great location.
Nothing - everything was excellent
Excellent location. Roomy and sunny. Well equipped.
TV extremely difficult to figure out. A 2nd set of keys for two couples would have been great.
Apartment was well set up. Had everything we needed and more. Warm and cozy when we arrived. Great space and fab location
Very central location and had everything we needed. Very comfortable & modern.
The main bathroom is very small, quite hard to get hold of management, we really needed two keys rather than one as we were on seperate conferences.
Everything! Great price and lovely rooms!
Very nice apartment, enjoyed our stay. Had everything we needed, was very convenient and great off street parking Will be back
We liked how clean the place was and the quality of furnishings. We will deffinalty be staying there again
Fabulous apartment in a great location. Very clean and tidy and very comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen area. Great lounge area with comfortable seating and TV with loads on it! Netflix, Prime etc. The place is only a short walk from the central area of Christchurch with all that the city has to offer, easily accessible. If I could give this apartment 11 out of 10, I would. Just a note for all you rugby fans. This apartment is only a couple of hundred metres from the new stadium being built in Christchurch, due to open in 2026. A great place to stay for a weekend when the All Blacks are in town!!!
Absolutely nothing.
The central location was great for getting around Christchurch. The apartment was clean and tidy and very comfortable.
Parking was not great for a larger vehicle like a ute.
We had a pleasant stay at the apartment, staying for four nights. Deborah was very helpful and responsive to our questions. I loved everything about this apartment; the owner clearly put thought into every little detail to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. The place has a warm tone and creates a welcoming feeling. It's also in a very strategic location, approximately a 10-minute walk to town. We used Lime scooters to travel back and forth, which was a lot of fun. We’ll definitely comeback here next time we’re back in Christchurch.
Duvet is slightly heavy for a light person.
Beautifully styled and lots of thoughtful additions for a traveller like zip lock bags. Thank you for the great selection of hot beverages.
Would have liked a usb socket in one of the power points.
Lovely balcony. Easy-to-access parking space. Great natural light. Electrical outlet near dining table. Very well-equipped kitchen, including a blender. Plenty of hot water and good shower pressure. Comfortable bed. Provided paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, laundry and dish soap, and starter amount of shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. Responsive host.
Dining table chairs not very comfortable. No pasta strainer/colander. Overall, a great place to stay! Would definitely book again for an even longer stay.
Private secure car park. Use of lift. Clean and comfortable
Microwave in kitchen too high and dangerous to use as likelihood of spillage of hot food inevitable
Well appointed and great location. We had a car so the off street parking was a bonus too.
No real negatives.
Detailed and accurate instructions were sent to us before we arrived. The apartment was excellent and very comfortable and had all we needed. Was convenient to walk to an excellent pub for dinner (sorry, we accidentally left the leftover pizza in the fridge 😢)
Would have been helpful to know we could walk through to the apartment from the car spot (was great to have a car spot) as we went back through the gate and around to enter the block.
Close to city, clean, check in&out process smoothly
Smaller bed than expected but nothing major
Great location, amazing apartment.
Clean, spacious and modern.
Loved the apartment, the kitchen had everything you needed, lovely wine glasses etc really comfortable would totally stay again and will definitely recommend to friends.
Location Great,
Require information on how to enter the complex using a fob key. Require instructions on how to use the tv/ remotes and washing machine/dryer.
Location was great! Everything was walking distance but there was a construction going on for a stadium? and some roads were closed for moving around in a car (not their fault). Rooms were very tidy, spacious and looked fabulous.
Personally, didn't really like the hard bed and the smart TV constantly talking, took a while to find the settings.
CUte little apartment. Great location. CLean and modern inside.
Different name on outside of apartment block so slightly confusing when arriving there.
Close to city, nice and clean
Non
Lovely warm unit. Great location
The house was new, immaculate and faultlessly clean. The host Deborah is a wonderful, thoughtful person, her information was precise and went out of her way to make our visit comfortable. I've stayed in many different places of accommodation, and I'd rate Deborah's place way better than a hotel suite, and as one of the top few.
Everything was perfect for our needs.
This is the sort of accommodation that you don't want to be honest about because it's so good! Everything was super easy. It's in a great location very near the new stadium and, for us, it was an easy walking distance to the centre of town, plus it has an off street car park. The beds are super comfy, the whiteware and crockery is very posh and modern, the couch ('tho not my style) is very comfy and so too are all the chairs. The outside deck is devine in the morning sun, and the underfloor bathroom heating and great showers are a real treat. Having two bathrooms works really well (1 is an ensuite and the other's in the hallway). I bedroom has a generous Queen-sized bed and the other bedroom has something slightly bigger than a King-single but not quite the size of a Queen (so it's more suitable for one adult or two young children). Our party of three adults thought the accommodation was fabulous! And on top of this the host is lovely and her communication is excellent.
There was nothing we didn't like. The only thing commented on during the whole weekend was the fact the microwave is a little high - but there's really nowhere else for it to go and the kitchen layout works incredibly well.
Clean and very comfortable apartment. Great attention to details to enhance the stay. Eg Coffee pods, salt and pepper, reading lights. Everything you could wish for. Quiet. Good communication.
Everything was great
Fantastic location, amazing communication and very good value for money. Took us less than 15 mins to walk to Riverside Market for dinner, add in the overly comfy beds and this place will definitely see us again! A+
