Country Thyme is an adorable, quaint cottage conveniently situated 20km to the Christchurch airport. Although we arrived after dark and had to leave before the sun was up, we could see how beautiful the gardens were. When we got out of the car, Averil was there to greet us. The place was overall very clean and the fridge was stocked with food and drink items. We are so happy we found this place. We will definitely be staying here again in the future to enjoy the gardens in daylight.
