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!

1. This is a B&B hotel. Unlike the general hotel, the owner of the store, the two partners, take care of the hotel in person, and make the guests feel like they are at home. Especially the breakfast is sitting around a rectangular table, the owner is baking bread for everyone, tea or coffee. Although everyone did not know each other, they soon became familiar with it, chatting and chatting, chatting about the places they visited and sharing experiences. The atmosphere is very good and I like it very much. 2. There is a Malay Chinese in the host, very young, very enthusiastic and talkative. Chinese tourists will be more convenient. 3. The hotel is in a good location, about 15 minutes walking distance to the city center. It is convenient to visit the main attractions in the city. 4. The fly in the ointment is that because it is an old house, the room layout is limited, the room is relatively small, and may not be used to Chinese tourists who are used to big houses. In addition, Chinese tourists who are not good at English may not be able to adapt to this environment.

very friendly host ***, big room, good for family. good option

I have never encountered such a considerate hotel! I originally booked a room for No. 4, but I found out on the afternoon of the 4th that it had been booked for No. 3. I quickly rebooked another hotel on the 4th. Unexpectedly, the hotel contacted my husband and said that the room booked on the 3rd was unoccupied and asked us to stay on the 5th. And the price of this hotel is affordable! I sincerely wish Dark Horse Hotel a prosperous business and always be a great and unexpected Dark Horse! Thanks again! My husband complained to me all morning, saying that I booked a room on the wrong date, and asked me what else I could do besides eating dry food❓

A cheap and clean motel is better because it's a bit far from the city but you don't need to sleep in a car rental. The house is spacious and has a heater and electric blanket so you can sleep warmly. I ate food in the kitchen and there are a lot of movies on cable TV. There are no marts around, so you have to drive

There is a parking lot, a kitchen, no breakfast. The room is very spacious and the location of the navigation is easy to find. The boss is Chinese, very enthusiastic, and many local recommendations. Very good value for money motels, supermarkets, Chinese restaurants and Chinese supermarkets are not far away.

Complete facilities, a variety of kitchen utensils, can cook, but unfortunately just passed a day, highly recommended
