Joanne is a splendid host, very welcoming and informative, with lots of good and useful tips to help us enjoy our visit in Christchurch. The house and garden are wonderful, the room is nice, private and clean. The breakfast tray with cereals, toast, jams, fruits is nice. You can walk easily (15 minutes) to find a wide variety of places to eat In the Merivale neighborhood. We recommend staying here.
