We LOVED our stay! The house is gorgeous and is accurately depicted in the photos. It is brand new, brilliantly appointed and the views are truly amazing! It feels very private. The artwork and little touches show the obvious care the hosts, Rachel and Brian have taken to create a special space. Rachel and Brian are fantastic hosts and are full of insights into Lyttleton, Christchurch and the Akaroa peninsula. Lyttleton feels a world away from downtown Christchurch but you can drive to downtown in only 15 minutes. We are already planning our next stay. Thank you so much
