We really enjoyed staying at Kerry's place for our two weeks in Christchurch. We had great conversations, enjoyed the cozy fires, were able to cook our meals in her well stocked kitchen, and enjoyed our spacious and cozy room. The city center is about a 30 minute walk from the house but there were also a number of buses just a few minutes away that are easily accessible if you have cash or the metro card. Kerry shared great local tips and was a warm and gracious host.
The one shared toilet is out in the conservatory outside of the kitchen which took a bit of getting used to, but other than that we were very comfortable and well taken care of. We would highly recommend her and would stay again.
