The Bothy was exactly like the photos. Very light, clean and beautifully furnished. Jen was a lovely host who made every effort to make us feel welcome. The fridge was full of treats - dips, cheeses, salami, jams, juices, etc and the kitchen stocked with fresh bread and cereal. The house is in a beautiful location and Jen was very helpful in offering advice on local spots to see that you wouldn't necessarily know about as a tourist. The best recommendation was to drive up to the Top of Dyers Pass Rd and look at the view then heading down to Governers Bay to have a delicious coffee and hand made chocolates at 'She' cafe. I would definitely stay there again if I was in Christchurch.
