Everything about Sue's place is as-advertised, tidy and lovely.
What isn't as clear on the listing is that Sue's place is in an astoundingly fantastic location, close to lovely places along the water, minutes form Sumner, minutes further over the hill to Lyttleton, all just lovely charming amazing places to visit w fantastic sights, activities and food!
Also, what's not advertised as well is Sue's amazing hospitality. We had initially booked for a 3 week stay and Sue met us on day one with a lovely compliment of groceries, including Tam Tams, juice, milk, peanut-butter, jam, bread, eggs, apples ... just lovely and so helpful. We ended up extending quite a bit as we were home-purchasing in the area and Sue accommodated our evolving plans, she was always attentive and available with tons of advice, but never imposing - she left us to ourselves but made us feel she was always there when we needed her; we felt like she had become our Den-Mum :)
As a business traveler I also appreciate that her space has nice comfortable office chairs and workstations (2) for computer setup, and BLAZING fast NZ Fiber internet.
A perfect ChCh base-camp with a perfect Kiwi host <3
