The little things often make the biggest difference when finding the perfect short-term rental. At ChallawaRiver Homes, it's not just about having a roof over your head—it’s about how that space makes you feel the moment you arrive. From complimentary airport pickup to personalized welcome notes and even curated sweet treats, every touchpoint has been carefully designed to make your stay comfortable and memorable.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through 7 thoughtful amenities that set ChallawaRiver Homes apart—and why these small details matter more than ever.
Seamless Airport Pickup Experience
Your experience at ChallawaRiver Homes begins long before you reach your apartment. From the moment you touch down in Calabar’s Margaret Ekpo International Airport, a Complimentary Airport Pickup Service awaits you—no need to haggle for a ride or fumble with luggage under the sun. Our Friendly, professional driver greets you with a warm welcome, setting the tone for what’s to come. This extra mile isn’t just about convenience; it’s about ensuring your journey flows with ease and grace.
Imagine this: you’ve just landed, maybe a little tired from travel, and before you know it, you're comfortably seated in a clean, air-conditioned ride, gazing at the lush Calabar landscape as you're taken directly to your apartment.
A Warm Welcome with Personal Touches
Once you arrive at ChallawaRiver Homes, you’re not met with cold, generic hospitality. Instead, you’re welcomed with a personalized note, handwritten just for you. Whether it’s your name spelled beautifully across a card or a short heartfelt message, these little moments of intentionality make you feel seen and valued.
But that’s not all. Guests are also treated to a complimentary bottle of wine, chilled and waiting to help you settle in and celebrate your arrival. It’s the kind of welcome that turns a short-term rental into a heartfelt experience.
The QR Code Concierge & Sweet Treats
Situated right on the center table is a small basket of candies and chocolates, carefully curated to add a sweet start to your stay. Whether you’re craving something sugary after your trip or just want a mid-day treat, it’s there—no extra charge, no strings attached.
Next to the basket is something even more intriguing: a QR Code Concierge. With just one scan, you gain access to everything you need—from local tourist attractions and car hire requests to dining recommendations, housekeeping services, and even the best tequila brand: Salamanca Tequila. It’s like having a personal assistant in your pocket.
Clean, Cozy & Clutter-Free Interiors
Beyond the flashy amenities, ChallawaRiver Homes excels at offering what many places miss: peace of mind through simplicity. The apartments are intentionally designed to be uncluttered and tranquil, with neutral palettes, soft lighting, and minimal décor that create a calm ambiance the moment you step inside.
The result? A space that feels both premium and lived-in, encouraging you to drop your shoulders and truly relax. Whether you're in Calabar for business or a quick getaway, the environment here is engineered to restore your balance.
House Plants and a Connection to Nature
One of the most underrated amenities is the feeling of nature all around. House plants—from snake plants to succulents—dot the rooms, silently purifying the air and adding life to the space. The compound is surrounded by a lush array of local flora, giving the home a natural, grounded energy that’s rare in urban spaces.
This subtle connection to nature enhances your mood, helps with stress reduction, and makes the whole experience feel more human.
Balcony for Quiet Reflection
Need a moment to yourself? Step out onto your private balcony, a thoughtfully furnished outdoor space that invites quiet reflection, morning coffee, or a romantic evening glass of wine. With a view of the surrounding greenery and a fresh breeze, it’s a favourite spot for journaling, meditating, or simply watching the world go by.
It’s in spaces like this where time seems to slow down, and when you’re on a much-needed break, that’s exactly what you need.
Tech-Forward Comfort with Fast WiFi & Streaming Options
While ChallawaRiver Homes leans into peace and nature, it doesn’t skip on modern needs. With High Speed 5G Starlink WiFi, you can seamlessly take meetings, stream movies, or upload content without buffering stress. Each apartment is also fitted with a smart TV, so whether it’s Netflix, YouTube, or a spontaneous K-drama binge, entertainment is always just a few taps away.
Paired with comfortable seating and cozy lighting, your nights in can be just as refreshing as a night out.
From complimentary airport rides to personalized notes, lush plants, and digital concierge access, every element at ChallawaRiver Homes has been crafted with thoughtful intention. These aren’t just amenities; they’re love letters to guests who deserve more than just a place to crash.
Whether you’re planning a solo escape, a romantic getaway, or a work trip that feels less like work, ChallawaRiver Homes welcomes you to experience comfort redefined.
