Thea greeted us with such warmth, NZ hospitality at its finest! She had loving created this space thinking of what would make guests comfortable. It is a leafy area, with access out to a deck where we could sit and enjoy a drink. Situated at the base of the Port Hills it is a lovely area, close to the city. Conveniently close to a bus stop, a couple of buses will get you to Christchurch city and the airport. A very enjoyable stay, highly recommended and we would stay again in a heartbeat!
