Had a great stay during my ten days in Christchurch. Lyle and Yvonne are really good hosts. The check in was smooth following simple and clear instructions. Yvonne had left some newly baked Chocolate Afghans as a welcome gift, they were fantastic.. Only small disadvantage was the fact that I had to go outside to reach the cooking and washing facilities, which is a bit cold in winter time. I can recommend this place if you want to stay centrally with walking distance to pretty much anything in city centre.
