Our South Island holiday kickstarted with a night stay at Peter and Sharon's lovely home and it was very comfortable. Their house is super close to the airport and very easy to navigate using google maps. Our flight landed at midnight and by the time we rented our car and got to the house it was well past 1am but Peter was actually there to greet us and he took the time to show us the routes on the map and recommended some good view points and treks to do on our drive thru the Fox glacier. The bed was very comfortable and the next morning we were welcomed by Sharon who had our breakfast ready. The shower and toilet were clean, well maintained and as described. We had a lovely time chatting with Sharon and her grandson. Their house and garden is beautiful and our only complaint is that we didn't spend more than one night at their place! Would highly recommend their place for travellers flying into Christchurch.
