Last but not least, this is the biggest of the bunch, an award-winning Grade 11 listed, three-storey Georgian townhouse in Christchurch.
The Quay can sleep from 10-25 making it great place to celebrate those special occasions with extended family and friends (when we are allowed to again, of course). There are 11 bedrooms in the main house and the corner wing. Both the main house and corner wing have separate kitchen, dining area and two enclosed gardens, safe for the little ones and the furry ones.
