Peace on Birdwood

A lovely private unit in a quiet suburb surrounded by the Cashmere Hills (about 22 minutes drive from the airport). Included is a good sized bedroom with a queen bed, renovated full bathroom and separate lounge with sofa bed. The kitchenette includes a fridge, convection microwave, dual cook-top, washing machine and other small appliances. As I have come to realise that having guests stay for just a single night means a lot of work I have decided to place a surcharge of $50 for a 1 nighter.
