Sweet cottage. Hot tub was an absolute dream, and the main reason for our booking. Whole set up was at the bottom of host’s garden, and yet it still felt private and secluded. Further from the centre of Christchurch than we realised though, and we hadn’t hired a car so cabs into town were expensive. Not sure if there were bus routes either. However, one day we enjoyed a 1.5 hour walk following the rail line along a purpose built bike/footpath into town.
