Absolutely lovely place, Karen and Rob were wonderfully gracious hosts and made us feel right at home. Rob offered to pick up and drive us to the airport, which we definitely recommend to other travelers as it's cheaper than taking a taxi. Their home is within walking distance from everything in the city, yet located on a very quiet, leafy street and the room we stayed in was wonderfully comfortable. We loved chatting with Karen and Rob - Christchurch is a very special city and they showed us things we might have certainly missed out on. And of course this review would be amiss without a special mention for Karen's lovely orange cake! All in all we're glad we stayed here on our first trip to New Zealand - and hopefully not the last!
