Victoria's place was a wonderful "retreat" amidst the hustle and bustle of Chch. Conveniently located near Merivale Mall, cafes, and schools with plenty of on-street and off-street parking. The room is at once spacious and cozy with stylish and thoughtful touches. The house is a modern build offering a sense of rustic charm in a beautiful garden setting. The ensuite was sparkling clean with a large modern shower. Vicki was a fabulous host. She is warm and welcoming; equally happy to leave you to enjoy your space in privacy or interact with you. Never once did I feel like an intrusion. An in-room fridge, kettle, space heater, and Apple TV were handy features. A lovely selection of coffees, teas, bickies, and chocolates were also on offer. Vicki also put on a beautiful spread for breakfast the next morning which was truly above and beyond. I would definitely make this my number one go-to stay in Christchurch and highly recommend it to everyone. (Although the selfish part of me would love to keep it a secret so that there would be more chances of it being free when I do come up again! :D )
