Joan made sure we felt absolutely welcome when we reached her place. Not only did she leave a little note and chocolates but also some ready to bake cookie dough waiting for us in the fridge. The neighborhood had a lovely park and was really close to the city center. It's a pity we got only 15 hours at Christchurch, we would have loved to spend more time in this lovely house.
We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to spend more time when we go to Christchurch again.
