I was initially going to arrive at around midnight, and thought it might be a problem. Due to flight delays, I ended up getting into Christchurch at 4am, and Mandy was gracious enough to keep the front door open, and had a nice comfy bed ready after a transit nightmare. I had to leave the next morning to get a car rental, and let myself out with no problems. Great place, close to the airport, and great thoughtful host!
