I can't say enough good things about Deborah's place. The house is beautiful, and she keeps the windows and doors open during the day (we had very nice days while we were there!) so it feels so open, airy, and light in there! The room is incredible, with it's super comfy bed and private sitting area right outside our private entrance. The house itself is decorated with the personalized charm of our host. Deborah is an amazing host, from the minute we arrived we felt very welcomed and cared for. She even made us "get well" drinks as we had recently caught colds. She gave us plenty of information about what to do around town, and we had some lovely chats while we were there. The town of lyttleton is very close to Christchurch if you have a car, but enough out of town to feel like a little retreat from the city. The town itself seems very cool and has a fun artsy vibe. We loved it!
