Rosie’s Garden Cottage is gorgeous- all in shades of whites and grey- a nice sitting out area amongst the flowers & lemon tree which makes the whole place so much bigger . Everything you need is supplied except shower gel and shampoo . Beautiful views of the sea it is right there at the window. Very quiet . We loved it and we recommend supper about Governors Bay Hotel which is a heritage building but nice and informal inside - about 4 minutes walk .
It’s only 20 minutes to Christchurch but you feel miles away from the city.
Also check her book that is there in bookshelf - Living with earthquakes it is a riveting & shocking read
