I stayed only 2 nights in Christchurch in Sue's family house.
The room was very nice and comfortable. You can see South hagley park from the window and Sue offers you a good breakfast.
It was a pleasure to cross the botanic garden and walk along the Avon river to go to CBD or Canterbury museum. (20mns).
It's very easy to join the bus stop for the airport (10mns by foot).
A very good place to discover the city.
Thx Sue for your host. All the best for 2016.
