Daphne was a terrific hostess and the room was very clean and cozy and so inviting after a week of camping! The private bathroom just down the hall was much appreciated. Daphne has a gorgeous, comfortable home and the back yard is incredible with such a beautiful garden. It truly is a little sanctuary! We enjoyed sitting in the lovely conservatory while watching a movie on our laptop and eating some take-away dinner. Daphne is so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed talking with her about our travels and her family. The location is also superb for an overnight before a flight out of Christchurch or coming in. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood with a few little restaurants and convenience store down the road.
