My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at The Little Melrose Cottage while passing through Christchurch. Elaine and her husband are wonderful hosts. The cottage is absolutely lovely: it's cozy, well-stocked, and located within walking distance of central Christchurch. Elaine is responded quickly to all of my messages and sent check-in information well ahead of time, which made settling in a breeze. I would definitely book the cottage again!
