What a beautiful gem this turned out to be! The house is spacious and very clean. Anne had provided milk, juice, tea, coffee and pantry staples plus toiletries. There are lots of brochures about things to see and do in Christchurch. It was a pleasure to meet Anne and nothing was too much trouble for her. We ate at the Italian restaurant opposite the Merivale centre which is about ten minutes walk (turn right at the end of the drive and just keep walking). We really enjoyed Dimitris souvlakis at the Re:start centre in town. Great value for money at $11 as they filled us up for the rest of the day. The Quake City exhibition was very moving and well worth a visit. We would highly recommend Anne's house to anyone wishing to visit Christchurch. It is an oasis of calm.
