We stayed at Tony and Monique's place for one night. Communication was very smooth ahead of our arrival. We were welcomed and treated almost like members of the family. The place itself is immaculate - very clean and tastefully decorated. It's a longer walk to the centre of Christchurch, but just a few minutes away from the bus stop. We found that The Palms was actually a better choice for food and shopping. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at this place again and highly recommend it!
