    We had to leave!

    The apartment is really comfortable and has great views. The owners were very friendly and made us most welcome. It forms a great base for exploring Christchurch and the beautiful Banks peninsular.

    Nothing to do with the property as such but one does need to plan for the evening meal a little since there are only few options nearby.

    The room is very nice, with a great view. The owners were attentive but discreet. Breakfast ingredients provided were generous, also including a couple of homemade items during our stay.

    Unfortunately, with the exception of a fish and chips shop, this eatery & bar is the only place to get dinner. The place is good, but if you want more variety you have to drive to Lyttelton. You can't really cook in the kitchen of the room.

    We (2 adults and 2 children) really enjoyed our stay at Diamond Harbour Lodge. The rooms are spacious and offer a great view over the bay. The breakfast in the room was very convenient. We set off on the 40 minute cliff track straight after arrival. Doable with children from about 6 years. It goes up and down but the view is great. At the end, we enjoyed a cool drink at the Diamond Harbour Eatery & Bar. For the next day we did a hike in Orton Bradly Park. Great!

    Unfortunately it was very windy, so no fun to be outside. The beautiful furniture could be protected by some coasters which I could not find in the room. Be aware of the shelf above the sink which you can hit if not looking up from the sink. Cooking facility is restricted to toaster, kettle, microwave and a small hot plate on a small area. It is not suitable for cooking. Also be aware that there is only a fish and chip shop which only opens Wed to Sat. You can take the ferry to Lyttleton but it is a decent ride across the harbor in a ferry.

    we rented the apartment. loved the view which was amazing. Big variety of breakfast and hot drinks. The rooms are upstairs and the owners live downstairs. The apartment was a decent size with two rooms, the bedroom and the living room. There is a telescope in the living room. No smart TV but it did not bother us. A small stereo in the living room. We were the only guests but there are another two rooms that were not rented out.

    Little further from central Christchurch than anticipated. However, well worth the trip!!

    Really well appointed with wonderful personal touches! Great variety of breakfast tray options, the view, telescope and separate lounge are - fabulous !!

    Nothing.

    A very comfortable one night stay. We were really impressed with the comfort and quality of furnishings. Nice touches included a balcony, underfloor heating in the en-suite and chocolates and fruit on arrival. Our holiday was cut short by the lockdown. Robyn and Peter very kindly offered us longer accommodation if required.

    The weather could have been better.

    The view of the harbour through to Lyttleton was awesome. The apartment had very really nice furniture. The bed was warm & comfortable and the bathroom modern & clean. The owners were really nice people and great for local knowledge and insights. The break fasts were perfect.
