Dyers House

very charming house, great view and friendly hosts. giant bonus for the amazing breakfast.

nothing really

This truly is a luxury B&B.The home is a lovingly restored turn of the century masterpiece, the gardens further the ambience of English gentility and the hosts could not be more engaging and accommodating. The impeccable decorating, the elegant breakfast… I could go on. Suffice it to say that we would return to Christchurch if for no other reason, to revisit this wonderful place.

The hosts were kind and gave us lots of attention. They were helpful and suggested places to visit.There we’re extra touches which made us feel happy .

Nothing

A corner of Heaven. The hosts are very welcoming and pay attention to every aspect in order to create a holistic and authentic experience for their guests. The beautiful house is artfully decorated on the interior interior and feels very cozy. The garden is skillfully taken care by the couple, striving for perfection. A must for your stay in Christchurch.

We had a fabulous 6 night stay at this wonderful B & B. This wonderfully refurbished beautiful house has three rooms with their own bath and outside patio. Furnishings are luxuriess with quality linen, comfortable bed, even a heated floor in the bathroom. The views are wonderful looking down upon Christ Church. Angela puts together a quality breakfast to start each day to travel from this central location. If you have not got a car no problem as Barry will pick you up whether it is the airport, the alpine train, or wherever. Snacks and drinks are always available for you and Angela insures that you get a tasty cake or pastry for afternoon tea. What makes this place so special are the wonderful hosts, Angela and Barry! We arrived as strangers and left as friends. They did everything they could to insure that we had the best visit possible. If ever we are in Christ Church again we know where we will stay, The Dyers House.

The hosts Barry and Angela are exceptionally hospitable 'people' people! We were made to feel welcome even before stepping inside the beautiful home. Their stories entertained us during our entire stay. Our room was luxuriously decorated and prepared for comfort: a woman's touch was clearly evident! There were complimentary snacks and toiletries in the room and the bed was extremely comfortable. As an additional surprise, we were treated with a fabulous complimentary slice of chocolate torte and some other sweeties! The setting at the breakfast table was most impressive and inviting: there was no shortage of tastfully laid out tableware, serving dishes and lovely cutlery, not to mention the extensive bakery, jam and continental breakfast choices.

The only point to mention as an opportunity for improvement during our otherwise 10/10 stay was the lack of sun block out curtains. We wanted a sleep-in however found that the sheer curtains let in the light as the sun rose, so the ability to sleep-in beyond sun-rise without a sleeping mask was not possible.
