Dyers House

The home was spectacular, and the hosts were lovely, helpful and interesting. Great breakfast. I highly recommend this host, locations and accommodations

I can't think of anything. The entire experience was lovely,

I had spent ages googling “ Luxury Christchurch Accommodation”, and time and time again, Dyers House came up. We booked the garden room. Check in was warm and easy - Barry and Angela met us at the front door, and instantly made us feel like very special guests. As we were shown to our room, the scent of fresh flowers wafted thru the house. This historic home has been renovated with no expense spared, and so many special touches, I’m sure I will forget to mention some. Our room and bathroom were HUGE! The bedroom had elegant and exquisite furnishings, a bed that was divine, and a terrace straight off it where we had afternoon tea as we watched the birds flying around their divine garden ( a garden filled with lilacs, rhododendrons, bearded iris, cherry trees etc.) Beyond the garden lies sweeping views over Christchurch. Back to our room - our bathroom was incredible….everything heated, including the floor. Massive walk in shower, fluffy and soft bath towels, exquisite decor. Breakfast - this literally blew our minds - pastries, muffins, variety of yoghurts, fruit, including rare and exotic…cheeses, cold meats, the list went on and on. Barry made us piping hot coffee, while Angela spoilt us rotten! The hosts - Barry and Angela just love hosting people from around the world, and love spoiling them too. Both have had interesting careers that have taken them all over the globe - they have amazing stories to share, we found them to be caring, thoughtful hosts that could not do enough to make your stay as perfect as possible. The scenic location is worth the stay alone, but given the close proximity down the hill of great restaurants to chose from for dinner, added to the fact your room is divine, the hosts just lovely, and the magnificent breakfast - make this your first and only choice for Christchurch. Oh - and did I mention the afternoon tea? We sat on a private terrace, covered in roses, and ate the most divine gateaux and sweet treats. Shame I can only give them 10/10, they deserve more!

The breakfast was simply divine - a huge selection of cold meat, cheeses, fruit, yoghurt, pastries and cereal. The dining area had stunning views over Christchurch.

Everything was just perfect

Angie and Barry and Eric welcomed us almost as family members. Their hospitality, consideration and inclusion extended towards us was simply wonderful, and so very natural. Such friendly hosts! Our room was perfect and beautifully appointed, and very very quiet. The bathroom is a gem, and has sub floor heating, so good! And the shower is awesome. We were offered the run of much of their amazing Edwardian house, and given lovely breakfast choices, and thoughtful tasty extras. We were there two nights and leave with such warm and happy recollections of probably the best accommodation in Christchurch, seriously.

Nothing could have been better, honestly.

Awesome B&B with a beautiful mountain view of Christchurch!! Grounds were so peaceful with flowers and butterflies. Barry and Claire were great hosts - wish we could have met Angela.

This is a beautifully maintained historic home. Angela and Barron are wonderful hosts with lots of information. There is fridge with drinks, coffee and tea and treats in the room. The bed is THE BEST. The house is only about 15 min from city central. There is a cool restaurant 10 minutes walk from the house in a "Scottish castle". This is a wonderful place to stay.

It gives me no pleasure to write this "Poor" review, but I made a rare mistake choosing this property and want fellow travelers to be aware. This B&B isn't neither luxury nor boutique. Very inconvenient parking, outdated old house, guests' rooms downstairs in the daylight basement, worn out towels, dusty smelling blankets. In contrast to all other B&Bs in New Zealand, where we stayed during this trip (please feel free to read my reviews), no cooked breakfast was served. No privacy in the room, owner told us that key isn't available, although the door had keyed lock. I would probably rate Dyers House "Average" if owners didn't claim this so-so B&B to be luxury boutique hotel (NZD 395.00 per night), which, in my opinion, it is not.

Amazing place. 5 star
