The stay with Michael and Jackie was amazing. Jackie is the best hostess I have ever seen. She made us a deluxe breakfast, gave us tips for what to do and where to go, was very social with us and easy going. Shhe respected our privacy when we wanted it. The bedroom and house were very nicely decorated. My partner enjoyed talking to her about life experiences which had a lot of similarities. The location is not that far from downtown Christchurch if you take the tunnel. The view from their house is awesome. Michael is easy going and soft spoken. Josie the boxer dog is very nice to pet. I have never felt so welcome.
