Peaceful, wonderful place to stay!

To start, a wonderful owner who clearly takes pride in getting things right for her guests. A large ensuite room with views of Diamond Harbour. Comfortable bed. Peaceful surroundings. We didn't take advantage of breakfast this time. A 10 minute walk to the Diamond Harbour ferry to Lyttleton. There is a direct bus from Lyttleton into Christchurch. A 25 minute walk to the Two Thumbs pub, or a 2 minute walk to the local Cafe and restaurant. Multiple walking paths from the house. We wished that we had a few more days there.

All good.
