Location was great in a peaceful area
Didn’t expect a mobile home type of property. The 2 kitchen bins were not emptied from last visitors so one was over flowing, so we didn’t use the bins only a bag. The oven wasn’t cleaned either so a little greasy in the shelves and tray.

We stayed in Casita lodge 13 Convent Meadow. Fabulous location right by the water & the Abbey. Pet friendly with a great fenced off garden area so our 2 Labradors were safe to run around but stay contained. The lodge itself was very well equipped, very clean and comfortable. It only took about 10 minutes to walk to the centre of Christchurch where there are plenty of shops & places to eat. The hosts Candice & Dan were easily accessible via text. Would definitely stay there again in the future
I gave a score of 9 out of 10 only because the taps in the kitchen & the main bathroom had small leaks. The decking steps leading down from the end of the lodge to the driveway have become wobbly. Although this did not cause us any problems, these small issues needed to be reported so the owners can carry out the relevant repairs in due course.

The location suited our needs we were attending our friends wedding so it was perfect. Getting to the church and hotel was just 10 minutes away so a bonus. Getting back late in the evening was also amazing knowing that it was a safe and peaceful environment. We loved the fact that it was in a quiet neighbourhood. Would love to re-visit when it’s Sunny.
The shower was lovely but we just couldn’t get the temperature right it was either hot or scalding. Internet wasn’t the best either.

The location was excellent and the site was very peaceful. Staff were excellent
From the moment we arrived, we noticed several broken items, including a chair and the coffee table. To make matters worse, the boiler broke down, leaving us without hot water for a day and a half. While staff explained that ours was the last lodge slated for renovation and this wasn't normal, it begs the question: why rent it out in this condition? That being said, the staff truly did everything they could to help, and we loved our overall stay—we just didn't love the lodge itself.
