We absolutely loved staying at Gerda's. She was a fantastic host. Very responsive to any of the questions we had. The location could not be better for people that love the outdoors. Just a few minutes walk up the street is access to epic views and a ton of trails. The unit itself is extremely spacious and clean. There is also a TV room that is all to itself and very comfy. The place is very affordable for everything you get. We loved our stay and look forward to staying there the next time we are in Christchurch.
