Grand Finale

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great way to finish our NZ vacation - sea view and not far from conveniences and the airport for our exit. The birds were chirping and the house was very clean and comfortable.

Relaxed holiday

We were 3 Seniors looking to spend time together and have a change of scenery. We enjoyed being able to see the harbour and its goings on and also the number of wee boats and yachts out in the harbour. We visited cafes and did some driving around enjoying relaxing. The house has great views and a nice place to stay comfortable beds and all.

Glorious Views and Comfortable Home

This was a wonderful property and we really enjoyed our week long stay in Diamond Harbour. The house was extremely clean with everything you could possibly need. The views over the harbour from the deck and kitchen/dining room are absolutely spectacular. We particularly enjoyed Orton Bradley Park which is a short drive from the house. The park’s many trails and tracks kept us busy every day. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to stay at this lovely home.

Stunning Views

My wife and I spent three wonderful nights in this house. The views of Diamond Harbor are amazing. The house has been updated with a nice kitchen and we loved both bathrooms. The headed floors and towel racks are a very nice touch. I loved the shower head in the main bath so much I ordered one and am having it shipped back to my house in the states. This was our first time visiting New Zealand and we will definitely be coming back. If we decide to stay around Christchurch again, this house will be at the top of our list!

Magnificent Spot

This is such a magical place to stay. The views are amazing and no matter the time of day or night, there is beauty to be seen. There are plenty of things provided for children to do; board games, cards, toys etc. the outdoor baths were definitely a highlight of our stay! So pleased we got to enjoy them. The house decor was perfect, and it had such a relaxed and warm vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing views

This holiday home was so much better then expected. Beautifully laid out and decorated, clean and it has everything you need for a few days away. We couldn't get enough of the views and enjoyed sitting on the deck relaxing in the sunshine. We highly recommend doing the cliff walk that you can get access to from the bottom of this property. We absolutely loved our relaxing time here and Gabby's communication was excellent.

One of the best ever!

I have rented a wide variety of holiday properties both in NZ and overseas and this would be right up there as one of my all time favourites. The location and views were sensational, check in and it was easy, communication with the owner was excellent and I absolutely loved the house! Having an ensuite bathroom for each of the two rooms was ideal, the kitchen and lounge were spacious and had everything we needed. I will definitely be back as I didn’t get to try out the outdoor bath and really want to! Thanks Gabby, your property is delightful!
