Greg and Kashira’s place is a tiny little private retreat; just what I needed to recuperate from a very active 2-island tour! It had all the essentials, including a washer and dryer, with the bonus of a clothesline for sun-dried clothes. A big plus was being 1 block away from the bus stop, so I could go to downtown Christchurch or to the shopping area just to the north. There are several restaurants and a liquor store within walking distance. Their children are all impressive, the dogs are cute, the cat finally made friends with me, the WiFi works great, and they have some wonderful friends and neighbors who they shared with me. I had a wonderful stay, with plenty of privacy and good interaction with the family when I wanted it.
