I didn't think of Shelley's place as 'cosy', exactly: it was spacious and modern, well-equipped, and very comfortable. I've stayed in motels on Riccarton a number of times, and it was such a pleasure to be in a place that was QUIET, and largely free of road noise, yet close to Westfield and Hagley Park.
Shelley was always there if I had a question or concern (which was rare), and she graciously allowed me to check out a bit later due to the timing of my flight.
Other than during the lockdowns, I generally come to Christchurch once a year, and I would definitely return to Shelley's place. Thank you!
