Marianne and John have a lovely place that couldn't be any closer to the ChCh airport. The accommodations are clean, private, and quaint. The spa in their yard is beautiful and is one of the cleanest hot tubs I've been in.
Marianne had lots of suggestions for me to try in the area. She and John were very hospitable. They were fine with me checking out a little late. I was a little jet lagged from my flight.
The shower is hot and your private bathroom was very clean.
I didn't use the TV, but they have a nice big wall mounted TV with lots of channels to use.
Close to downtown as well as grocery stores and liquor shops and restaurants.
Overall this is an excellent property and it sure beats a hotel.
