We stayed at Prue's place for one night en route from Christchurch to Wanaka and it was a great stop! We cooked dinner at the house while enjoying the stars at night in the hot tub. Some reviews mention the location right off the street as noisy, which, though is true for when you are outside, did not bother us very much since it is not necessarily a heavily trafficked road nor was it a problem when we were in the house. Also, the hospitality of our hosts was amazing considering we left something at the house and they sent it to us immediately at our next place in Queenstown!
