Peter is a true gentleman and a scholar and his place is extremely well presented and very disarming. Like going back home for the holidays. Architecturally speaking the house is very welcoming and an interesting modernization of an older traditional house. Open spaces allow in bright sunlight, exquisitely maintained garden seems to flow effortlessly into the kitchen which has been redesigned as a general gathering space for guests. A very clever design that encourages conversation and it does just that. Alfie (the gentle kind house dog) serves as a pleasant welcomer and canine concierge, adds additional homeyness.
Its the kind of place I'll want to mark as a favorite for every time I return to visit Christchurch.
