I stayed at Diane's for two weeks while visiting UC.
The house is attached to, but completely isolated from, a neighbouring house, and overlooks its own garden. The house is very spacious inside with all amenities. It is set back from the road and surrounded by trees and hedges, so it is quiet at night, and the door is on the far side so its very private too. There is a parade of shops 5 minutes walk away including takeaways and a supermarket.
Diane and family were lovely hosts, very friendly and very accommodating! Diane kindly even stocked the larder before arrival, and always responded quickly.
I was very happy in Christchurch staying here.
