Emily is a wonderful host and Jim’s Hut is one of the most charming places we’ve stayed in all our travels! The home itself is so beautiful—and then you have lovely nature views through all the windows. The space is invitingly open and bright, while still feeling super private with the deck and enchanted little side garden all to yourself.
We have visited Christchurch many times, and this is now our FAVORITE place—we stayed a month! Already planning to book again next year. You can hike in the hills, bicycle, or just nature gaze right from your doorstep, but it’s only a short drive to central downtown for city-type fun. Nestle in or splash out… this peaceful spot was perfect for us to do all of it.
Specifics: all the appliances were excellent, the shower especially! Just the right amount of quality dishes, linens and other furnishings to feel comfortable but not cluttered. Check-in/out super easy. Annnd now I’ve reached the AirBnB word limit, so I’ll end with ALL-AROUND FANTASTIC!!!
