Kia ora, as the director of business in several tourist industry, I understand how important to feel like home while you are on the road. Diamond Harbour Hidden Gem is a holiday house we use for ourselves, as well as hosting our friends and families when they visit. We provide the best quality bedding because we understand the importance of a good sleep. We provide essentials like milk, coffee, tea, snacks, fruits, etc. although there is a small grocery shop just around the corner. We also provide car rental as part of our other business and airport pick-up (Ts&Cs Applied). Most importantly, as a dog owner of two big furry babies, we understand how important for you to have them with you on the journey. We are here to answer your questions anytime.
Convenience is enhanced by the proximity to local Diamond Harbour town within 5 mins, public transport routes and zoning for Cashmere High School. Ferry to Lyttelton from Diamond Harbour town is operated daily and a short stroll of 30 minutes drive to Christchurch town, 50 minutes drive to Christchurch International Airport ensures an easy access to this private get-away perfect holiday house. What's more, it is an epic drive through the Port Hill mountain with great views of the Bank Peninsula. Puru Bay, Church Bay and lots of beach access are just around the corner.
