What a great stay we had! Alison is such a nice and lovely person and we felt right away welcome and comfortable at her place. Compared to our stay in a campervan that we rented afterwards it almost felt like a wellness-treat: super-comfy and clean sheets, blankets and towels, great bathroom and even a small breakfast (cereal, bread and coffee) in the morning. Allison even cooked for us and a friend (that didn’t stay at her place) a kiwi-BBQ for a very fair price. Location is a bit outside of town, but a bus or a really nice 40min walk along the river will bring you to the city center.
If we should ever get back to Christchurch, we‘ll definitely stay with her again! Thanks for taking care of us, Alison!
