Jen is a wonderful Air bnb host and nothing seems too much trouble. She met us off the train from Picton to Christchurch (great trip), dropped us at the car hire Co and took us on a fab walk around local hillsides with her dog Louie. The Bothy is self contained and comfortable. The pantry was very well stocked for breakfast and more. We even managed a dip in their swimming pool - very refreshing. Jen and Rod's kids are very polite and it was a joy to see them playing in the pool and sand pit. The Bothy is 15 mins from Downtown. We Enjoyed visiting the Botanical Gardens, museum and new pop up stores. Tea at Ballentynes dept store also fun. Lunch at Lotus Heart Vegetarian restaurant also highly recommended.
