Jo’s home is a peaceful and relaxing escape in suburban Christchurch. However, it’s also a very convenient walk to downtown - the best of both worlds. Heed her tips on the best places to eat lamb, and make sure to get a tour of her garden. Fiddlestix is a great restaurant for a taste of New Zealand. Our favorite experiences were the Botanic Gardens, the Canterbury Museum, and walking the Bridle Path to Lyttelton (views are spectacular).
