We made a loop around the southern half of the South Island ending our trip in Christchurch. Thus we stayed at Eliza's twice in two different rooms. The manor is a lovely Victorian and the interior (other than the bathrooms) fully embraces the Victorian theme. Rooms and baths in the Heritage rooms we were in were huge (there are two... more

It's such a lovely place, in a great location for exploring Christchurch ... a lot of the main attractions, including the Botanical Gardens and the city centre, are within walking distance.

Ann & Harold made us very welcome and the adage of 'arrive as guests and leave as friends' truly applies in this instant. Our room was sumptious and the whole building was as good as any 5 star hotel.... more

Our room was bright, sunny and oh so comfortable....and the daily supply of cookies were very much appreciated. Since this was our first trip to... more

My wife and I had an absolutely fabulous stay at Eliza’s. Ann and Harold run a splendid establishment and provide for your every need.

I heartily recommend Eliza’s for your next stay in Christchurch. more
