On a scale from one to five, Sue’s Place earns a six. What a lovely place to stay and what a lovely couple who live there! We stayed on a whim, needing a break on a long drive to Christchurch. She was responsive on the app and kindly accommodated us at the last minute. What a delight to arrive weary to the beautiful garden and apartment. The place is spacious, spotless and comfortable. We enjoyed a short walk to the river an ocean, then a glass of wine in the garden with Sue and Rick who are warm, gracious and caring hosts; it was like talking to good friends! Sue helped relieve some ailments by supplying some bug cream and lemon honey tea; and made a lovely breakfast in the morning early enough for our early departure. Highly recommend Sue’s place!
