Liz and Gordon were so friendly and welcoming to me, even after a long drive and getting lost! I shared a wonderful home cooked meal & wine with them. Almost a shame I only spent 3 nights at their home. Very nice room to stay, all self-contained but joined to main house. Kitchenette and ensuite very clean and adequate. Able to come and go from own separate entrance. I really appreciated their help with negotiating the city too, thanks for the loan of your map, I'll be posting it back real soon! Very cute puppy too! I really enjoyed hearing about the post earthquake city too... Thanks guys for your hospitality and for providing a lovely safe stay in Christchurch. Cheers, Donna :-)
