Staying with David & his wife was amazing. :) the house was very clean, homey, and we absolutely enjoyed the conversations with them both.
They provided a nice homemade breakfast for my Husband and I, which was a wonderful spread of toast/coffee/cereal/fruits/yogurt!
The bedroom on the second floor was very comfortable, and we also had a bathroom to ourselves to use.
Location-wise — super convenient with central Christchurch a $10 Uber away :)
