Anne and her husband are a very friendly family! They let us cook in their kitchen and use their home amenities. We spent time chatting with them and playing with their cat and piano. They made us feel very welcome. The room is comfy and the home is inviting. If you’re just looking for an inexpensive place to cook, sleep, and do some laundry when you’re passing through Christchurch, this is a nice place to spend a night :)
