Spark and Angela were absolutely fantastic hosts! They accommodated our late arrival in the country by leaving a key and that was just the beginning. They allowed us use of their kitchen to prepare some food for the next couple days, offered us a ride as we were looking for a vehicle to purchase, gave insight on some hidden gems in the city, and cooled us off with some ice cream on a hot day! They also let us do some laundry and allowed us to contact some New Zealand based companies using their phone. Also, their home is in close proximity to Addington- Coffee Co-op, one of the best spots in the city. Their attitudes and reception to us was very warm and we definitely recommend this place as one to stay in Christchurch!
