    “To start, a wonderful owner who clearly takes pride in getting things right for her guests. A large ensuite room with views of Diamond Harbour. Comfortable bed. Peaceful surroundings. We didn't take advantage of breakfast this time. A 10 minute...”

Our house was the old Post Office in Diamond Harbour and it kept its unique character we believe. It invites you to enjoy the life of our beautiful village...community, sea and beaches, sports, hospitality. || We also offer a very unique breakfast (we have a special menu) - If you wish to have this, please don't forget to add this in your booking. ||
Antje and Andreas... German immigrants to Aotearoa New Zealand. We came here with our big family of 7 (5 boys... growing too quickly into young men) just a week before the February Earthquake. We enjoy very much living in this beautiful part of the country. We love having guests and sharing our home with people from all walks of life. We are looking forward to welcoming and hosting you !
Diamond Harbour is a picturesque, vibrant community on Lyttelton Harbour – rural and idyllic, yet conveniently connected to the city of Christchurch by ferry and public transport. Here, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the tranquillity and nature of a small town, as well as a friendly international community. Surrounded by breathtaking nature, with wonderful walking tracks, spectacular views, and direct access to the water, Diamond Harbour is the perfect place to escape the stresses of everyday life. Despite its remoteness, our community offers everything you need for a good and simple life – a small grocery store, a café with sea views, and warm hospitality. Those seeking something special will find a relaxing retreat in a unique setting
