I had a very enjoyable week at Gerda's place. Gerda was kind and helpful, responding quickly whenever I needed anything. A number of memorable walks are accessible in the Port Hills and, even though I didn't have a car, I was easily able to reach the city centre by way of a nearby bus route. The self-contained studio is very private, situated on the ground floor towards the back of the house. It's modern and tastefully decorated. The kitchenette is well equipped, the queen-sized bed is comfy and there is a high pressure shower in the ensuite bathroom. I would highly recommend Gerda's place to anybody looking for a place in a quiet residential area away from Christchurch city centre, but also within relatively easy reach.
