Daphne's 'cozy double bedroom' was exactly that, with a warm and extremely comfortable bed, exceptionally clean and convenient bathroom and wonderful hospitality. For a small fee, our hostess was able to collect us from the airport and take us back to her quiet residential district for a welcome cup of tea in her beautiful garden and a chat to get to know one another. Daphne provided information on the local shops and buses for our trip into Christchurch and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this homestay to anyone wanting to be within a short distance from the airport (no aircraft noise) or on a bus route from airport to the city.
