Amazing house with finely designed architectural style. Gerda is very welcoming. Her hospitality and kindness are of the highest level. Living practically near the forest and some great walks. You can walk from the house to the sign of the Kiwi or Lyttleton. Take a ferry and climb the Mt Hebert. And walk around the banks Peninsula. The room is very tidy and has absolutely everything for a very comfortable stay. And it is very private. The bus takes you to the city and to the airport. Just perfect for a person who loves to travel and hiking! Anytime I am in Christchurch I would be delighted to be coming back! :)
