Trish was a fantastic host. She was very efficient and quick in communication. We had a few requests before arrival. She managed all these requests efficiently and quickly. The place is beatiful and stylish. There is good size room with a fantastic kitchen and dining room. We even enjoyed some sunshine in the nice garden. We rented a car. It takes 10 minutes to get to Christchurch. There are eateries and shops around this place that can be reached a few minutes drive.
