Jo's place was the best accommodation of our NZ trip. Very clean, spacious room with a magnificent bed, set in a botanical garden with a creek. Very quiet, down a longish drive off Papanui Road in a very nice residential area. Close walk to restaurants, shops & the supermarket. Recommend a drive to Akaroa for lunch, then taking the scenic route home through Governors Bay & Lyttleton. Can highly recommend Jo's place.
