Chris and Murray are great hosts, ask them anything! Great place to stay on your approach to Christchurch or as you leave the country, only 113 km from ChCh at the foothills of the S-Alps. Plenty of walks and nature places to visit around, close to "Edoras" (if you are a LOTR fan or not and feel like an amazing day trip). The house has everything you need, is warm cosy and comfortable. Do not miss the carrot cake next door in the general store cafe.
