Sue is a nice and helpful host. We stayed 4 nights at her place, which is cozy but no problem with space with a little planning on where to put things. The clean backyard self contained unit has a small table outside as well to enjoy the many flowers and birds. Only 7 minutes from the cool town and beach of Sumner with its coffee shops, ethnic restaurants and surf. Also nearby, hiking at Taylors Mistake and Godley Heads. Plus about 20 minutes to downtown Christchurch. All around a good experience and recommended!
