This being our first trip to New Zealand, and having stayed at hostels over the rest of the course of our trip, we were looking forward to a little treat during our stay at Shirley's place. Except, our stay at Shirley's far exceeded our expectations! Everything was so neatly organised and well thought out, and the place was beautiful. There really isn't anything negative I can pick on. Shirley was a great host in providing all sorts of information regarding our stay, and was such a pleasure to meet even if only for a short while. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Christchurch. I look forward to coming back again should I return to Christchurch one day :)
