My mother and I loved loved our stay in Christchurch! The beach house was so adorable and she dressed it up so cute! I was in awe in how detailed she went with it. Her husband Daniel helped us with hiking places and places to eat and was always around to have a beer and chat about what we did that day in the evening. We tried out the Pegasus winery which they both recommended and loved it! Came back with 6 bottles of wine. I'd recommend this beach house to anyone down to the easy commute to the conversation. Beans of course was another favorite as she greeted us right as we walked through the gate! I will be back to New Zealand! Thanks again for the great stay!
