Gareon was a fantastic host! My husband and I really enjoyed speaking with her and learning about her work, her animals, and her life in NZ. The space is comfortable, clean, and located a nice distance from Christchurch (not too close and not too far). Highly recommend staying with Gareon whether you're just passing through or looking for a more rural stay than downtown Christchurch. Also, be sure to ask about the horse therapy :)
