This place, and the Host, Joan, were amazing. We arrived just as everything was shutting down for Cvid-19. We actually arrived a day early, becase we had to race our rental car back to Christchurch or pay for it indefinitely. Joan hustled to clean it thoroughly for us and got us in. And what we thought would be one week became over 3 weeks because air routes kept closing. Joan was always kind and accommodating. True Kiwi kindness.
The house itself was the pefect place to be "stuck" as it is kitted out with everything, including a well stocked kitchen, good internet, great TV package, and toys and games for all ages...including ping pong and air hockey. As a huge bonus, it is right by Hagley Park, which was the best place possible for 2 or 3 daily long walks.
I can't recommend this place highly enough.
