Jill's home is beautiful and the room was no exception. The space was very clean and organized. The bathroom had a slightly heated floor which was nice when taking a shower and warming up after the rather cold time we spent in Christchurch. The towels were soft/plentiful in the bathroom and the bed was comfortable as well. Jill also had some bread, nespresso, jam, tea, yogurt, granola, etc.. for breakfast which was all very tasty.
The TV/living space was also nice and comfortable with a walkout right outside to a beautiful view/sitting place. You can access this back area by walking around the side of the house instead of going through the house however, its a bit awkward as the steps go up a small incline /through the bushes then odly to the front deck.
The location for this place is great if you have your own transporation. If not, I do not recommend staying here as there is not much close by and if you need anything you have to drive about 10minutes down the hill and into "town". The majority of restaurants (main downtown) is about 15-20 minutes away.
Overall we had a great experience but never did meet Jill, her husband however did stop down to say hello and helped us out by answering questions and giving us some advise on the area.
