Reasons To
Visit New Zealand

  • Food & wine

    This small nation has established a name for fabulous wineries, many internationally acclaimed. Whilst most will point connoisseurs to the Marlborough region for the finest vintages, Hawkes Bay and Martinborough should not be ignored. A trip here would not be complete without trying the local 'fush 'n' chups' or traditional Maori fare either.

    Food & wine

  • Landscapes

    For a small country, New Zealand incorporates landscapes as diverse as they come. Mountains, volcanoes, beaches, lakes, fiords, valleys and caves - to the everyday traveller these remarkable sights are other-worldly. Both the North and South islands share many common features, but are also wonderfully contrasting.

    Landscapes

  • Light adventure

    It's not necessary to throw yourself off a suspended platform in order to fully experience New Zealand. Alternative options include air safaris over White Island, heli-hiking the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers and wilderness cruises in Milford and Doubful Sounds.

  • Maori culture

    New Zealanders are proud of their Maori roots. Maori song, dance and mythology are prevalent, towns are adorned with carvings and rooms are dressed in flax weavings. Most physical locations also have Maori names with literal translations such as Waimakariri River (Cold water river).

  • Outdoors & coastal living

    The 'outdoors' perception of New Zealanders is not something consciously cultivated; with such a plentitude of mountains, beaches, fiords lakes and forests on their doorstep it is simply a way of life.

  • Self-drive

    New Zealand has wonderful roads - scenic, safe and, especially on the South Island, largely empty. They even drive on the left and some of the most scenic routes are waymarked. There are car hire stations at all of New Zealand's airports.

  • Walking & trekking

    There are so many excellent hikes - or 'tramps' as the locals call them - in New Zealand that it is sometimes difficult to know which one to select. We feature several of the country's 'great walks' which can easily be incorportated into any itinerary.

Dyers House

Christchurch, Christchurch & Canterbury

Dyers House is located in the pretty southern suburb of Cashmere, and is one of the area's oldest homes. It has been lovingly restored to provide luxurious guest accommodation in just three rooms, each of which looks out over the city to the Southern Alps beyond.

The guest rooms are all spacious and elegant, and all have underfloor heating throughout. The house itself is perched high above the city, and the large lounge and dining area enjoy spectacular views throughout the day and the twinkling city lights at night. A fabulous breakfast is served either here or in the conservatory, featuring many home-made goodies.

Cashmere itself is only a ten minute drive from the city centre, but there are a couple of restaurants and cafes close by. Your hosts, Angela and Barry, are extremely welcoming and will be more than happy to help you plan your time in the area, and to advise on how best to explore the city.
