Staying with Michael and Jackie in their wonderful home far exceeded all expectations: Michael and Jackie are the most genuine and welcoming hosts one can imagine, the house is beautifully located in Cass Bay with truely magnificent views and an easy walk down to a small beach (and with wonderful walks along the coast), the terrace is a wonderful place to sit and relax, and the house, including the bedrooms and private bathroom, has all the facilities needed for a very comfortable stay. The house is about 10 minutes drive from Lyttleton - a charming town with nice shops, cafés and restaurants (and also where the closest supermarket is), and interesting Christchurch only about 20-25 minutes away. All in all, this place has our warmest recommendations - both as adults and as children (age 5 and 9).
