Hi, I’m Sammi. I personally manage and care for my guesthouse with love and attention to detail. Unlike big operations with management teams and high service fees, everything here is run by me, so I can keep the experience warm, personal, and affordable for guests. My family of four lives in Christchurch, and we enjoy sharing our city with visitors from around the world. Hosting is more than just providing a place to stay it’s about making sure you feel comfortable, welcome, and at home during your trip. I’m always happy to help with local tips and recommendations so you can make the most of your stay in Christchurch.
Merivale, is a vibrant and upscale suburb known for its excellent dining, shopping, and lifestyle offerings. With a mix of trendy cafes, boutique stores, and beautiful residential areas, it’s a sought-after destination for those looking for a positive, safe, and thriving community atmosphere.
