Firstly, Arthur’s Pass is amazing and is a great place to visit in the South Island. Do not skip this place on your roadtrip.
Secondly, Helen’s crib is a cool option for a night stay to break up the trip between Christchurch and West Country. Though it is a co-sharing space but we had experienced a real living space and were enriched by the honest and thoughtful conversations we had over the dinner with another pair of guest. Helen is a god-sent and meeting her let me understand my motivations for all the wanderlusts I embark on. Whilst the beauty of the surrounding nature and the view we woke up to is un-paralleled, we were greatly inspired by our interactions with Helen.
Thank you Helen for the home away from home.
