Joan’s address is much more than a B&B. She provides an exemplary townhouse in an excellent and quiet location very near Hagley Park. We (a couple in our 70s) used her bicycles to get to the central city within about 15 minutes. The modern, well-designed home has a complete complement of all household needs, all of a high quality. Good beds are essential in any accommodation and those at 21 Barrett Street are all top rate. Nothing was missing from the well-appointed kitchen. Heating and all electronics worked perfectly. The house was impeccable. Apart from the bikes, we did not use the recreational equipment in the car shed, but it is all there for guests with children and teens. Joan was very welcoming with a nice handwritten note, a bowl of fruit, and little chocolates to tempt the palate of the elderly! She was very accommodating - allowing us to arrive and leave outside the usual hours. We thoroughly recommend this first rate address and hope to return.
