General Overview

Beautiful home with ever changing picturesque views of Lyttelton Harbour. Our home in Lyttelton is a short walk down the hill to the village where you will find cafes with great coffee and bars, (you need to be fit to walk back up the hill!), Sumner Beach is less than 10mins by car and the Lyttelton Bays have some lovely beaches and walks. Christchurch City is approximately 15mins by car and you can take a ferry to Diamond Harbour. There is a good bus service if required, however, we do recommend a car. Our home is pet free and non-smoking. There are stairs inside the house and the section is not suitable for children.

The Space

The Kitchen, living room, laundry and toilet are on the top floor with two bedrooms, two bathrooms a small kitchenette and lounge room downstairs.

Guest Access

There is an external flight of stairs to the entrance door, unfortunately our home is not suitable for wheelchair access. (See Photos).

Notes

We have had approximately 35 fabulous exchanges on Home Exchange platforms. We are very respectful of our hosts homes and treat them as we would our own.

Neighbourhood

Lyttelton is known for its Restaurants, Bars, Cafes and Music scene. There are great hiking tracks and beaches nearby. A wonderful Farmers Market on Saturdays. Mount Hutt Ski Field and Hanmer Springs Alpine Village and Thermal Pools are less that 2 hours away by car, the French Township of Akaroa is 1 1/2 hours away, swimming with the dolphins is a popular activity. Lyttelton is a great town to start your South Island holiday, the drive to Queenstown via Tekapo is stunning. The 3 1/2-hour drive from Christchurch to the West Coast where you can drive down the coast to Wanaka and Queenstown is also spectacular.

Our home is approximately 40 mins from Christchurch International Airport. A car is recommended; however, you can get Ubers at the Airport.

Mac and Jules

Kia Ora!, We are Mac (Mark) and Jules, Mac is a semi-retired executive, and Jules works part time in HR. We have three adult children and two gorgeous grandchildren who live nearby. We like to share our travel adventures with friends (a couple)when possible. We feel so fortunate to have been hosted in the USA, UK, Europe and here in New Zealand, as well as hosting the loveliest guests from all over the world over the last couple of years. Having had over 37 wonderful 5 ⭐️ Home Exchanges on the other platform, we were recommended to join PLU. We would love to host you in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
