Ali’s place was in a lovely part of Christchurch close to the beach & a park right next door. They also have a lovely dog. We took the bus into town instead of driving which worked out for us. Ali gave us a loaf of home cooked bread when we arrived. She also has a pantry with staples which was handy with a 12 year old boy traveling with us.
We loved our stay and recommend her place to other travelers.
