The spa pool (hot tub) is heated all year around.
The fireplace is turned off but there are 7 heat pumps so it’s lovely and warm.
The surround sound speakers are neither Bluetooth-enabled nor wired, so they cannot be used.

About the area
Christchurch, known as the "Garden City," is a vibrant urban center that offers a unique blend of historic charm and innovative reconstruction, making it a fascinating destination for travelers. The city is the gateway to New Zealand's South Island and is framed by the majestic Southern Alps and the Pacific Ocean, providing a picturesque backdrop for a variety of activities.
One of the city's most endearing features is the Avon River, which meanders through the heart of Christchurch, offering peaceful punting experiences reminiscent of Cambridge, England. The Botanic Gardens, a lush sanctuary of flora, are a testament to the city's nickname, with extensive collections of plants and flowers that create a serene environment for leisurely strolls or picnics.
The city's resilience and creativity are on full display in the innovative urban spaces that have emerged following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. The Cardboard Cathedral, designed by architect Shigeru Ban, is an iconic symbol of this rebirth, showcasing both ingenuity and beauty. The Re:START Mall, a shopping area made from shipping containers, adds a colorful and eclectic vibe to the retail experience.
Christchurch is also a hub for arts and culture, with the Christchurch Art Gallery hosting an impressive collection of national and international art. Street art and murals have flourished in the city, adding a dynamic layer to the urban landscape and reflecting the community's spirit.
For those seeking adventure, Christchurch serves as a base for exploring the natural wonders of the South Island. Nearby, the Banks Peninsula offers stunning vistas, hiking trails, and marine wildlife encounters in Akaroa Harbour. The Canterbury region is also home to world-class vineyards, providing ample opportunities for wine tasting and gastronomic indulgence.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, from mountain biking in the Port Hills to hot air ballooning over the Canterbury Plains. In winter, the nearby ski fields of Mount Hutt and Porters are easily accessible for those looking to hit the slopes.
Christchurch's accommodation options range from luxury hotels to cozy bed and breakfasts, catering to all preferences and budgets. The city's dining scene is equally diverse, with an emphasis on fresh, local produce and a growing number of innovative eateries.
In essence, Christchurch is a city that offers a rich tapestry of experiences, from its verdant gardens and poignant history to its adventurous outdoor activities and burgeoning cultural scene. It's a place where the spirit of innovation and the warmth of its people make for an unforgettable visit.
