We had a short but very sweet time staying with Deborah in the beautiful suburb of Lyttelton. Deb was very accommodating, even letting us show up at 2am since we had a late flight, and she made us feel totally welcome with fruit and breakfast laid out for us. The next day, she offered coffee and we had an fascinating and genuine chat about everything from journalism to environmentalism to the artistic aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake. Beyond Deb's charming home and garden, we also loved strolling the Lyttelton farmers market and having breakfast at the Lyttelton Coffee Company. We'd highly recommend a visit!
