Simon's place is a house full of NZ character. The beds are very comfortable , the kitchen has everything you need, and the shower is awesome. The location is perfect for attending an event at Hornby Arena, and is also handy to the city, or a trip to Lyttleton or Akaroa. Simon's hospitality is great - friendly without being intrusive. We enjoyed the numerous small touches that made our stay feel special. Allover , a great place to stay.
