I was very impressed by John and how great a host he is. Nothing was a problem and was very accommodating. He provided clear instructions on everything we would need for our stay before we arrived and he and his lovely wife were waiting for us when we checked in to welcome us. The studio was clean, warm and comfy and had some very cool toys to go along with it. The bread and spreads and selection of breakfast cereals was a lovely touch. Also the outdoor area and spa are lovely. If you are going to Christchurch this is a must stay!
