We stayed at Anji and Mark's for just over a week, and it was the perfect place to base ourselves before heading out on a month long road trip to explore the South Island. There are plenty of things to do in the area (hiking, kayaking, cycling, going out in Lyttelton), and the house was very comfortable for lounging and catching up on admin tasks.
The bed was ultra comfortable for us side sleepers, and there was plenty of space for us to unpack our things. We even had our own spot in the second refrigerator to keep ingredients for cooking. They also provided ample ingredients for breakfast, which was really convenient. Mark gave us a tutorial on the top-notch espresso machine, and our morning lattes were definitely something we looked forward to.
Best of all, the whole family was just a pleasure to hang out with. Anji, Mark, Sarah Grace, Ammo, and Felix are the best!
