We arrived late in the afternoon after a flying into Christchurch (2 weeks after the earthquake) and were immediately welcomed by Chris and Lisa. The accommodation was excellent as was the friendly pre dinner drinks in the lounge area.

Not cheap but... More

The mountains, the springs, a little bungee jumping all really close. Breakfast... More

Chris and Lisa literally think of everything without being obtrusive, they made... More
