Shirley & Kent were wonderful hosts. They shared fresh vegetables from their garden with us and made us feel welcome instantly. Both provided us with great local advice about places to visit and where to stay. You can tell they really enjoyed building their own custom modern home. The kitchen opens with a stunning sliding glass wall and they have an amazing bathtub. We wish we had the time to enjoy it. Thank you so much for the fabulous stay. If we are lucky to return to Christchurch you're on our list to come visit again!
