If you stay one place in south island, make it Lyttelton and make it this flat! Lytteltons such a great town to stay in and explore, i could've spent a month here if i'd had the time. As for the flat, it was perfect for a solo traveller like me, or two if you don't need tons of space. It had everything you need for a self-catering holiday. The thing that really stood out was that Julia had obviously put so much time and care into decorating and making the space welcoming. It was stylish and cosy at the same time, and everything was beautiful & good quality. Julia was such a lovely host, full of recommendations (which were always awesome) and so kind and accommodating. This was overall the best airbnb i've stayed at, i cannot recommend it highly enough!
