Michele and Andrew's place is beautiful! Views from the bedroom are stunning and the house is in a great location for morning walks along the Bay. They are great hosts: friendly, helpful, nice breakfast, quick to respond. The rooms are super clean, and having a private patio for breakfast was lovely.
Something to note if you like to cook while traveling: We were staying as a family, and the kitchenette was enough for holding leftovers or warming up something small, but not large enough to cook a meal (there is a BBQ grill outside that we did not use).
We would definitely stay here again if traveling through Christchurch!
