Marinda and John have been excellent and always friendly and helpful hosts. I'm truly sad to have to leave after my two-months-stay with them. I liked the friendly atmosphere and the quiet surrounding. The view onto the estuary is really stunning, the ocean and all other beautiful sites around Christchurch (New-Brighton, Sumner, Lyttleton, Akaroa and Banks-Peninsula) are just a stone's throw away. I have no hesitation to recomment this wonderful accomodation.
