Penny's place is a cosy haven located in the heart of Merivale. It was a warm welcome to receive a bottle of wine and delicious cookies upon our arrival. The beds were comfortable and extremely appreciated after a long day exploring Chch. The kitchen and toilets were well equipped with all the basic amenities. Penny was quick to respond to messages and she is also friendly in person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Penn's retreat to anyone holidaying in Chch :)
