Catherine and Bernie are superb hosts with a stunning space and location which looks out directly onto Moncks Bay. Its easy walking distance to Sumner for dinner at many of the local restaurants and a walk back along the beach helps after all that good food! 15 minutes from the centre of Christchurch for further exploring and the Port Hills on your doorstep, magic!
The space itself is ideal, lovely comfortable beds with beautiful linen (always my No 1) a fabulous big bathroom and your own private lounge area with big sliding doors to a lovely courtyard. Catherine stocks the fridge with breakfast items (NZ butter!) fresh fruit and a coffee machine for that morning brew while being across from the water is pretty special! She was so sweet and would keep checking if I needed more or something else, I was even treated to Whitebait Fritters one night, a very rare New Zealand delicacy! They have bikes in the garage and I'm sure Bernie is just dying to take a few guided tours around the Port Hills, the views from up there are stunning!
This was a superb weeks stay, I loved every minute of it! Thank you both!
