A true sample of excellent hospitality!! She deserves more than just 5 stars.
Kaaren's place is quiet, very clean, modern, calming and had everything we needed to feel at home. The beds are comfortable, bathroom is excellent.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we arrived late at night. Kaaren was staying up late to greet us and cook dinner for us after knowing that we didn't have dinner that night. She was extremely friendly and easy to communicate with. She was very helpful since the beginning, very quick to respond with any questions we had and checking in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. She went way beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We are truly grateful for her thoughtful kindness.

Would definitely stay at her place if we are going to Christchurch again. Highly recommended place to stay.
