Alison's place is outstanding and we would definitely recommend staying there. Alison greeted us with a cup of tea and coffee upon arrival and her hospitality throughout our stay was wonderful. Her home is exquisite and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Being able to have breakfast before setting out for the day is delightful. The location is ideal - a lovely walk along the Avon River to the center of Christchurch or an easy bus ride away. Alison has many tips for what to see and do in Christchurch and is very knowledgeable about the area. A lovely stay.
