New listing. Same assistant. 🐾

Colin and I spent the morning delivering flyers and collecting neighbourhood intel.

The verdict?
People tend to stay on this street.
It's easy to see why.

Classic red brick on the outside. Fresh perspective within.

Thoughtfully renovated and filled with natural light, this two-bedroom home pairs 1960s character with a more considered way of living.

The kind of place where Sunday mornings linger a little longer. Coffee at the breakfast bar. Sunlight moving across the floorboards. A ride through the Port Hills before lunch. Dinner that stretches well past dessert.

And then there's Somerfield.

One of Christchurch's most quietly coveted neighbourhoods. Close to the city, yet somehow removed from the rush. Cafés, walking tracks, Barrington's everyday essentials and the hills all part of the rhythm here.

Beautifully renovated.
Effortlessly liveable.

Close to everything.
Connected to nature.
Full of locals who never seem to leave.

1960s soul. Modern lifestyle.
Just add you.

Where Attention Is Moving

Colin, mid-delivery.
Somerfield, late autumn.
A city quietly pulling focus.

According to April 2026 Trade Me searches, beyond Auckland, every suburb in the top ten sits within Christchurch.

Cashmere. Merivale. Fendalton. St Albans. Ilam. Burnside. Somerfield. Halswell. Beckenham. St Martins.

Not just movement in numbers but movement in direction.

New listing coming soon in Somerfield.

Flyers circulating.
Colin handling distribution.
Everything else, unfolding naturally.

DM for details.

Not just sold - placed perfectly.

38 + 38A Straven Road now belong to two lovely families, which honestly feels like the real headline.

A privilege to watch these homes evolve from concept to completion - architectural, intentional, and beautifully resolved.

Congratulations to LARK Developments for delivering homes that genuinely stood apart - with buyers consistently scoring the design and layout 10/10 from the moment they walked through.

Thoughtful homes always find their people.

Christchurch just got a new main character.

Meet Edizi - the all-day bistro officially opening doors today, serving the kind of “quick coffee” that somehow turns into lunch, cocktails and cancelling your evening plans.

From first flat white to final pour, this place is giving European city energy without trying too hard about it. Beautiful interiors. Long lunches. Dangerously good vibes.

Christchurch foodies will already be onto it by the weekend - so consider this your unfair advantage.

Christchurch in 12 hours — sharp, stylish, and quietly flexing.

Think espresso that hits, architecture that tells stories, and streets that feel like they’ve figured something out the rest of us are still chasing. This isn’t the old narrative — it’s a city that’s edited, refined, and moving with intent.

Worth a read.

Christchurch’s hottest new additions and old-time favourites.

Not your average listing. And not trying to be.

Tucked quietly at the rear, 38a Straven Road moves differently — private, composed, and unapologetically considered. The kind of address people hold onto.

Think: morning walks to Hagley, coffee runs that turn into long lunches at Mona Vale, Saturday mornings drifting through the Farmers’ Market. Westfield when you need it, the city when you want it — all within easy reach.

Inside, it’s all clean lines and calm confidence. Light pours in from the northwest, ceilings stretch, textures speak softly but with intent. Four bedrooms, sculptural kitchen, layered living spaces that flex from slow Sundays to full-house entertaining without missing a beat.

Built by LARK, designed by JTB — so yes, it shows.

Now here’s the part that cuts through: The developers are done. Onto the next. This one? Priced to move.

Final private rear home of two.
Now $2,218,000.

No fluff. No waiting around. Just a seriously good house in a seriously good spot — ready for someone who gets it.
