Lovely home with nice hosts. Parking needs to be done carefully to avoid the traffic calming chicanery. No sink so we washed up our dishes in the bathroom, although Sutza offered to do them for us, but Sutza tells us they are about to order one.
A sport centre is just around the corner with all the activities including swimming pools. Plus lots of paths to run along; watch out for dogs which are almost always off the lead! Good access the nicer areas of Christchurch via car, bus or simply walking.
