Barbara went above and beyond to accomadate me in her home. I felt so very welcome and nothing was an inconvenience. She makes an amazing cup of tea, and is a fabulous cook. I loved listening to her worldly tales and never once felt uncomfortable - which I was nervous about before I arrived.
From the moment I stepped foot in the house I felt at home. The room was clean and comfortable with a number of thoughtful touches, the bathroom was spacious and again sparkling clean, I was able to help myself if I felt like a cup of tea and breakfast was timed perfectly (nothing beats waking up to the smell of fresh bread baking! And I still can't get over her Rhubarb jam).
I will (without a doubt) be staying at Barbaras next time I am in Christchurch!
Hint to any travellers: take advantage of the opportunity and pick Barbaras brain for the best sights to see and things to do in Christchurch- you won't be sorry!!
