Coffee on the deck. The pitched ceiling pulls the morning light through the living room and the stream runs quietly past the back fence.
Welcome · The Location
Semi-rural setting. City convenience. Hospital nearby.
Elmbridge Mews sits on Waianiwa Place — a quiet street off Mairehau Road in northeast Christchurch — bordered by a stream and adjacent to Prestons Park, with a scenic walkway connecting you to local amenities. Burwood Hospital, New World Prestons, and easy routes into the city and out to the Pegasus coast are all within a short drive.
You can walk to the supermarket. You can drive to the airport in eight minutes. You can sit on the deck and watch the stream.
