Rochelle’s place was lovely and cosy, just the right amount of space for us and a stunning view from the windows which you could see when you were laying in bed. We really appreciated that. The hotel opposite has a nice restaurant/bar which we went to in the evening. We really felt like we were out in the wilderness in this location which was amazing.
Rochelle had recommended we check out Castle Hill on our way to Christchurch (where we were headed the following day) we really enjoyed it there so were very pleased by the recommendation!
