Provider-sourced guest reviews.
absolutely lovely unit, owners very helpful and responsive , really liked the location, the security and the garage the beds were extremely comfortable probably the best beds we’ve had anywhere also huge selection of pillows and blankets. also really well supplied even had eye masks very thoughtfull
The only reason for not getting a ten is that the sheets were not 100% cotton and a low quality.
We had such a lovely stay here while we were down for work. The house was cosy, comfortable and had everything we needed, but what really stood out was how well set up it was for travelling with our one-year-old. There was a cot and high chair available, baby gates at both the top and bottom of the stairs, and even some toys, which made such a difference and meant we could actually relax and enjoy our stay. It was absolutely perfect for our little family and we would definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area!
Location is amazing. The place is new. Furnishings are very comfortable.
Clean and cosy. Kate was very responsive, went above and beyond and offered us to help setting up the baby cot. Also turned on the aircon beforehand to warm up the house. Very comfy beds, spacious rooms. Kids got toys to play with. Finished up our NZ tour with this satisfying stay.
Nothing
Would definitely stay here again
The 2-story townhouse was clean and comfortable. It had everything that I needed. It was definitely helpful to have a car as there is not much close by.
The entrance into the two houses complex was VERY difficult to find.
It’s relatively new, specious , clean , secure and so close to the new stadium and the city centre.
No aircon or ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The instructions on how to operate the stove are wrong. The instructions say that sometimes the induction system is locked and in order to unlock it you need to press the power button for a few seconds, that’s completely wrong because once you press the power button while the system is powered on, it turns itself off again. Instead, the instruction should read “ once the stove is turned on at the wall, the induction system will default to the locked state, to unlock it, press and hold the lock button for a few seconds”. I hope this helps.
Clean and comfortable
Garage a little tight to get into but manageable.
Urban Nest was contemporary & the location was central. We liked that the complex was secure & the townhouse facilities were modern
Great location, clean tidy comfortable
Location
Comfortable beds, clean. Close to the city.
Blinds would be worthwhile on the top of the bedroom windows - it is quite light at night.
Great central location. A warm and spacious apartment, comfortable and well appointed. Kate was super easy to deal with and it was great to be able to have my son's pooch stay. Happy to recommend Urban Nest.
Maybe a little more milk for tea and coffees. But that's a small thing.
Lovely modern townhouse, well equipped with all home comforts.
Location was quite noisy at night compared with what we are used to.
The place was spotless and well presented. Beds were comfy, bedding immaculate. Easy walk to cbd. Would be great place to stay to attend an event at new stadium. Enjoyed our short stay. Nearly everything you need is there. Parking is tight, need to show off your reversing skills.
Nothing
Host was very quick to reply to any questions, house was clean and very comfortable.
Garage doesn’t fit a large car (Ford Everest), but we were able to find free street parking.
It's located closer to the city centre. Kitchen was well-maintained and clean.
I'm sorry but the windows on both rooms of this town-house aren't covered fully with curtains. The windows have two parts, rectangle and a large triangle above it, while there are blinds on the rectangular part, the large triangle part of the window is glass-only without any blind/curtain coverage, which meant you'll lose sleep all nights because of external lights in the second room and from early morning if slept in the main bedroom. It would be great if the owner addressed these issues. Parking info should be better explained as it's a townhouse only and I can understand it has narrow one-car garage. I acknowledge we were told the garage shutter needs to be checked to ensure it's doesn't touch the car while closing, but if you have a little longer car, like my Carnival, it doesn't fit in the garage with the existing stuffs already in there in the back and the parking lots across the garage entrance means there might not be enough space for a little longer car to turn or drive out. It's a busy street, so we needed to find parking spot somewhere little farther from the property. I know there is not a fix to this but better info would have helped.
Air conditioning unit not in the room
Lage-ca. 10 min. vom Zentrum entfernt. Ruhig und sauber. Unkomplizierter Check-In
房子非常干净漂亮,Kate is very helpful and supportive
Great location, next to city centre.Super confort beds including beddings and sofa. The whole house is very clean and has everything we need.
There were no slippers provided when requesting guests to leave shoes out. The floor at kicken and dining is very cold. The house isn't well soundproofed; I can hear my neighbor coughing. I was woken up at 2 AM by the roar of a sports car downstairs, and then again around 4 AM by birdsong.
Very clean. Very well laid out. Plenty of space. Comfy beds. Secure car park. Great communication with host.
Nothing
Great accomodation for a couple of nights. Nothing fancy but everything you need!
It did have a smell of alcohol as soon as I walked in. Also had to ask for extra towels when we arrived but they sorted that out straight away for us
fully equipped kitchenware, washing and drying machine, very quiet and cozy apartment with good security
the bed is too soft for us, but I think it quite personal feeling only
Our stay was excellent thanks to the comfortable and well-maintained property. The private community and dedicated parking added to the convenience and sense of security. The highlight was definitely the lovely garden, especially the cherry blossom tree in full bloom. It created such a serene and picturesque atmosphere. We truly enjoyed our time here and would gladly return in the future.
no
Very modern and well positioned.
Kate is always happy to answer my questions though we’d been stayed for one night. The additional two beds were set tightly before we checked in, and all the stuffs were clean . The location is perfect. The check in guidance will be sent the day when you arrive; it is very helpful for us to find the direction and entered the building. Everything is perfect. One thing to mention is that the garage isn’t enough space for a 9 seater van so you have to park nearby the street if you have a relatively long or large car.
Lovely towhouse close to city
No tv in bedrooms
So cosy. Super clean, easy to find and super quiet. Would definitely stay here again. It had everything we needed and more.
Great Location with lots of amenities.
Location, clean tidy, big rooms. kids loved games in cupboards
A little hard to park car in garage, quite tight
Everything at the property worked well and we had a very comfortable stay, we will stay again,
Great setup. Perfect location. Very handy having the garage. Lovely quiet and secure area. Clean and very well equipped.
Nothing
Very quiet and comfortable, with everything we needed.
Lovely property and location. Just what we needed as a family.
We liked the two bathrooms, modern, clean and great location. It was great to have the garage and wonderful soft beds.
It would have been great to have low profile pillows but we went to kmart and purchased two so not really an issue.
Staircase
Urban Nest was exactly what we needed for the stop on our long trip over the Christmas period. It is spacious, had everything we needed (washer/dryer, fully equipped kitchen, good television with access to Netflix etc). The bed was so comfortable and the showers luxurious. The house is close to the centre of town and is super modern. The garage was great and made life easy. We had a bit of an issues at the beginning and Kate was super responsive and helpful.
Nothing, everything was great!
Beautiful and clean, Kate was an awesome host who went above and beyond. Everything you need for a stay. Will stay here again. The use of a garage extra handy especially with toddlers in tow
The apartment was in a great location and close to many great cafes and the city centre. It was modern, clean and very suitable for two couples. Local knowledge provided by hosts was great in guiding us to the bast places to eat. It had everything our stay.
Garage was a standard size but not big enough for our large ute meaning we couldn't close the garage door. As there wasn't a lock on the internal garage door we couldn't leave the ute and walk to town nor lock up at night. Beds would benefit from a solid and higher base as a little uncomfortable. An outside umbrella would be an awesome addition for the lovely courtyard.
New house with all mod cons. Easy 15 minute walk into town. Immaculately clean and tidy. Good info booklet advising on restaurants and local trips. Garage parking.
No blinds on top part of windows. Privacy was fine but there was light in the room all night which disturbed us a little.
So easy! Kate was an incredible host and very communicative. Really appreciated her care.
Nothing.
Amazing. Quite spacious. Love the courtyard & bed is very comfortable. Appreciate the well equipped kitchen, a lot of cutlery really helps, instead of just 4 set of forks/knives like in other place we stayed. Great customer service!
Awesome owner and very tidy property. No problem at all, and got garage so parking is not an issue. Friendly reminder from the owner too. Will definitely book again next time.
None
Super easy with the keypad and great communication with the host! Awesome stay - thank you I'll be b
Very central. Safe. Comfortable. Cosy.
Clutter free, contemporary design and clean
Nicely appointed townhouse. Private car garage.
Location is not great. You need a car to move around.
Everything! It was as in pictures and as described. Warm, cozy and convenient.
Fabulous place to stay, had everything we needed, location was perfect, hosts communication was excellent, would stay again! Thank you!
Excellent location. The apartment is well set up with everything that you need. The host is most helpful. Unlike my stays in other apartments, there was no list of cleaning jobs to to when leaving.
Nothing. It was fantastic.
Good location, good size apartmet and rooms were excellent, spaced out and beds were comfy. The host was very helpful and easy to deal with, A pleasure, would recommend
Only negative is is is near a half way house which has some questionable characters haging around there
Great location with parking Clean facilities; kitchen equipped with good quality plates, cutlery etc
Noisy neighbours in another building behind Urban Nest
We really enjoyed our stay. The place is new, well decorated and had parking. It’s a short walk into town for food and the owner was a great communicator who sent clear instructions.
No issues. Please note that rooms are upstairs on the second floor so luggage will need to be carried, no biggie if capable.
Modern, clean, quiet
Beautiful apartment, warm and comfortable.
The property is well appointed and comfortable even with 5 adults, the bedrooms are a good size with large wardrobes and it was great having 2 bathrooms and also a toilet downstairs. A very handy location to Christchurch CBD within walking distance
Very comfy and cozy!

We brought our own breakfast, have been at a family wedding and dined out. The location of the townhouse was very convenient. Everything was as expected. I do recommend to others. Many thanks
The lights from the neighboring properties coming through the top half of the bedroom window.
Good location and very well set up. There were many small but noticeable touches that ensured the property was comfortable and a lovely place to stay
Very compact with everything that we needed. Kate was very responsive and helped to make our stay enjoyable.
The parking was very tight for our van.
Absolutely gorgeous 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom city escape in Central Christchurch. Very conveniently located in the central city about a 15 min walk from the main shops and attractions. Loads of space to spread out with a sunny courtyard, great place for lounging and reading in the sun. Thoughtfully appointed throughout with lovely touches. Loved the fact that it had an internal garage for parking. Very secure with codes and gates etc. Makes check in and check out super easy. Our family (with two teenage girls) loved staying here.
The only little niggle was no blind on the top bedroom windows, so it was quite light in the morning, however, the owner was already looking into modifying this when I spoke to her. We look forward to going back and staying here again!
Great location. A short stroll to the city centre. The apartment is modern and fresh. The hosts are welcoming.
Close to city, clean and stylish
Needs a proper ironing board. Stairs were quite steep.
Clear instructions for arrival - keypad entry codes and property location on complex. Garage was great and a good size for our SUV. Our family required the two single beds which were set up as requested. The property was new, clean and just as pictured. Location was very central to Christchurch CBD which was easy walking distance. Well appointed kitchen. Clear instructions for property facilities (except for laundering- see below). Quiet property. Comfortable heating. Nice courtyard.
There was a clothers washer/drier machine - but I missed the exclusion of the drying function in the listed facilities. The washing function was also faulty. Left the load dripping wet and soapy. Much time was wasted reading the manual trying to get the unit to work before I contacted the host, who informed me that the machine was new but the drying function was faulty and to be repaired. Hopefully the washer/drier is fully fixed by now.
Very clean and comfortable, secure parking was handy.
Only one towel and wash cloth provided for 4 night stay, would have been good to have another one. No handsoap in kitchen and no coffee capsules for nespresso machine. Minor things really.
Well presented, clean, comfortable, warm, convenient, safe city haven. Townhouse style accommodation with internal access garage.
Minor issue - the triangular windows in both bedrooms that streamed daylight in. Great during the day, not so much at night trying to get a toddler to sleep or in the morning when you want to have a lie in.
New and nicely furnished townhouse with comfortable beds, great showers and well stocked kitchen. Easy to access with key codes, owner very responsive. Immaculately clean.
Garage is a little tricky to drive in to ( but great to have secure off-street parking )
