This a lovely place to stay. It's quiet, but it's really handy to transport and shops. It's really well equipped for self-catering travellers - there's even a washing machine in the unit - as well as being very comfortable. Dave and his wife are wonderful hosts - they have lots of local information that they are only too happy to share for anyone wanting tips for things to see during their stay, and they also provide a comprehensive selection of tourist brochures, including local bus timetables. You'd be hard pressed to find better value accommodation in Christchurch.
