Sharon was a great host and did not mind our short notice enquiry to stay with her. Her lovely self-contained unit has everything you wish for and is only a short drive from the airport. We only got to stay for a few hours as we had an early morning flight, but we loved every moment of it. You'll find a little Mexican eatery/pub around the corner that also does takeaway. Would recommend to anyone and would stay again when in Christchurch!
