Karen and Rob are consummate hosts, and we feel so lucky we got to stay with them for four days in their beautiful home, where they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had a good time in Christchurch. Karen really spoils her guests with luxurious linens, vases of white roses from the garden, chocolates, wine and strong coffee . . . It's like staying in a five-star hotel, except when you leave you have new friends. A very memorable stay!
