Chester St East - Christchurch Holiday Homes

Loved it. Good communication and very lovely place. Great location. Highly recommend

The location of the property was convenient, and the size was suitable for a family stay. （優點：地點便利，空間大小適合家庭入住。）

【The Bad - Facility Issues】 Upon arrival, we found the shower head in the bathroom was broken and unusable. We reported this to the management immediately. While they acknowledged the message, no one came to fix it during our stay. Fortunately, we had access to another bathroom, but this was a significant inconvenience for a family group. （設施問題：入住時發現浴室蓮蓬頭壞掉無法使用。我們立刻反映給管理方，雖然他們收到了訊息，但在我們入住期間完全沒人來修理。幸好我們還有另一間浴室可用，但這對家庭旅遊來說非常不便。） 【The Ugly - Major Security & Privacy Concerns】 The most concerning part was the check-in process. Despite Booking.com’s "Important Information" stating that ID and credit card should be shown upon check-in, the management company (Christchurch Holiday Homes) insisted on an "online check-in" via an external email link. （資安疑慮：最令人擔憂的是報到流程。儘管頁面註明是入住時出示證件與卡片，管理公司卻堅持要透過外部郵件連結進行「線上報到」。） They required full credit card details, including the CVV code, through their private system. When I expressed my discomfort regarding data security, the host withheld the key code and insisted this was their "fundamental operation." Being on a trip with my family and young niece and nephew, I felt pressured to comply just to ensure we had a place to stay. （他們要求透過其私人系統提供完整的信用卡資訊，包含 CVV 末三碼。當我表達對資安的疑慮時，對方扣留鑰匙密碼並堅持這是他們的「必要程序」。考慮到當時帶著家人和年幼的姪子女，為了確保有地方住，我感到被迫配合。） To make matters worse, the external link they provided is now inactive/down, leaving me deeply worried about where my sensitive financial data is stored. （更糟的是，他們提供的外部連結現在已經失效，這讓我非常擔心我的敏感財務資料被存在哪裡。） 【Verdict】 I would not recommend this property if you value your data privacy. The management’s reliance on insecure, off-platform data collection is unprofessional and creates unnecessary stress for travelers. （結論：如果你重視個人資安，我不推薦入住。管理方依賴不安全、脫離平台的資料收集方式非常不專業，並給旅客帶來不必要的壓力。）

Location was great, amenities were clean and tidy.

The location was very central as 1-2 km walk would get you to all eateries and attractions unit was beautiful presented with large bedrooms all with own bathrooms kitchen and living all well appointed nice balcony area and secure and quiet neighbourhood

Couldn’t fault anything on this property very pleasant experience

Really good hosts and communication. Easy access and well equipped and spacious home. Loves how each bedroom had its own bathroom

amazing house and I'd stay again. The only thing that could be improved is the TV is very small and old with terrible sound quality

Loved the garage and the fact it was within walking distance to the city centre. Loved the comfortable sofas and the lovely beds. It is a beautiful home highly recommended.

Possibly a better way to open the garage door and then lock the front door.

Great layout, worked really well for our family especially with a bathroom for each bedroom

It was annoying that there was no garage door opener and we had to go I. Through the house to the garage to open. Except the entrance to the house is in a different street to the driveway with garage.

Easy access. Good communication.

Great location, reasonable price and very clean.

We needed more than one set of keys.

Very clean

N/A

The location was great. It was very well appointed and had all the things to make it feel like home.

Nothing really.

Spacious. Well situated. Walkable into city centre . Good showers/ bathrooms.

Very short garage. Car had to be parked diagonally. Had to look up YouTube to find how to work the kitchen hob( it was locked) Bed on kitchen level uncomfortable and hard. Mattress not great. Rooms are on 3 levels.

location easy walk to the city centre

wifi didnt work

The property had 3 double rooms and three bathrooms. Perfect for our purpose. Close to town, quiet and spacious.

Very clean! Great location and so much space. Has all the amenities you need!
