We had a very enjoyable stay at Angela's place. The house is situated in a great spot, close to Sumner yet away from the busyness. We were able to have our dog stay with us, which was great, especially since there is an amazing dog beach at Sumner. The house is comfortable (definitely a house of its time) and has everything you'll need, although it's time to expand and update some of the kitchen utensils, and pots and pans and plates and glasses. Very effective heaters which was great since it was a cold spell in Christchurch. Angela was a very responsive host, and arranged for a replacement washing machine very quickly before we arrived when the old one stopped working. Would recommend.
