Mike and Shaz are residents of Christchurch, they like to work hard and relax harder. Mike and Shaz are friendly down to earth people. If you have any questions regarding your stay please feel free to reach out to us :) When Mike and Shaz first set foot in this house, it was as though they were instantly welcomed by its warm embrace, like they had found a long-lost family treasure. The home’s history, steeped in love and memories, spoke to them in ways they never expected. It wasn’t just a house; it felt like a place where they truly belonged. The unique, friendly town surrounding it added to that sense of connection – the kind of town where neighbors greet you with a smile, and everyone knows your name. The Cozy Nook feels like a home away from home and a bridge to the past. It has become a part of their own family story, filled with laughter, joy, and cherished moments. Every corner of this home reminds them of the love and warmth that has been put into the home by the previous long term owners, who built part of the home themselves. They can’t wait to share it with others who might feel the same sense of peace and belonging that they do.
