This was definitely the best place to start our trip. Alison was an amazing host! She gave us helpful tips for Christchurch as well as all of NZ. She has travelled the two islands a lot and really knows some hidden gems.
The room and bathroom were beautiful and super quiet.
Alison’s house is located in a beautiful area and very close to the red zone. From there you can follow a walk along the river to get to the city center.
We can highly recommend to stay at Alison’s place. You will miss out on a wonderful person, if you don’t meet her.
