I've stayed at many Airbnbs, and Cheryl and Pete were by far the most gracious and welcoming hosts I've stayed with. They provided fantastic recommendations for things to do and see around Christchurch and made a great dinner reservation for us. We enjoyed wine and cheese with them at night, and breakfast with them in the morning -- both accompanied by great conversation. Of course, if we would have preferred seclusion, they would not have hesitated to provide it to us - we just so enjoyed their company that we would not have had it any other way. They truly felt like family. To top it off, their home is gorgeous, and the guest wing is not only comfortable and private, but immaculately appointed. We only wish we could have stayed with them longer!
