We had a great time at David's! He is such a warm, welcoming and easygoing host. His tips regarding our trip were really helpful and our discussions about Kiwi life were really interesting. His cute little house is just 20 minutes by bus away from downtown Christchurch and about 30 minutes from the airport. David allowed us to do our laundry, use the kitchen facilities and just feel at home. There is no central heating but we really enjoyed the electric blanket in our bed. We would definitely stay there again.
