The four of us had a great stay at Gurpinder's place! We asked whether we could drop off our bags early, which was no problem at all. We received a warm welcome and got recommendations for our trip. The beds were nicely made, and to our delight, they even came with chocolates! There is a Countdown nearby too. I would recommend this stay for sure!
Please do note: if you are planning to use public transport, the bus to central Christchurch takes roughly an hour.
