See what our guests had to say:
“The owner operator, Craig, worked with us to arrange sightseeing activities, doing the calling to get tickets, preparing breakfast, and driving us around. His place is a real house, not a luxury hotel, so you feel like you’re staying with a good friend. He is also very knowledgeable about history, geography, and the many activities possible around Christchurch. We learned a lot about New Zealand just chatting with him. The property has nice gardening, is located in a middle-class neighbourhood and a nice walk to the shops for meals and shopping. It is also near a bus stop for getting downtown.”
