Helen was a lovely and friendly host who went above and beyond. We had a late flight in from Sydney and arrived to find that baby toys and books had been set out for our little man. The next morning Helen drove me to the car rental pickup and also gave us some hats for our baby, which proved invaluable for the remainder of our trip as we had forgot to bring some ourselves.
The pumphouse itself was clean, spacious and conveniently located near to the airport. It was well heated and brightly lit, as well as good value for money. We only stayed for one night, which was too bad. I would definitely have stayed another night and explored Christchurch for a day if we had known the pumphouse would be so nice!
