Sea Views in Luxury at Lyttelton Boatique House - 14 km from Christchurch

We stayed at the boutique house in Lyttleton and were happy there! You have a whole house, kitchen, laundry and spectacular views! Francis is right next door and was so friendly and helpful! If you love views that aren’t common, and a stay that is memorable, this is definitely a place that should be on your list! We hiked the bridal path, walked around diamond harbor and rode the ferry. The style of this house just has to be seen to be believed! Francis is a genius with decorating and the house is not like your average boring hotel stay. The views out of all the windows are also spectacular. Don’t even think of missing the Saturday morning street market! The vendors are engaging and also don’t miss the breakfast at the Lyttleton coffee company. Choose this place and you won’t be bored!

Absolutely lovely. Such a thoughtful decor. Our host was perfect. Very considerate and attentive . Comfortable bed and fascinating view over the harbour. The kitchen had everything and more . An easy five star review.

Very lovely views of the harbour from the deck, which is where you'll want to park yourselves, and very good access to the shops and cafes (5-10min walk). At first glance it may seem fairly expensive per night but if you are staying there with three couples then its pretty good value. Good facilities that are well maintained.

It was a very handy location to town. Walking distance to seafood restaurant, a must eat. Interesting views of the port. Francis was very welcoming, lovely scones and jam. Well equiped home. Special treat with the lolly jars!

Great location and lovely well equipped house. Amazing views of the harbour. Frances is a great host, always answering any questions promptly and welcoming us with home-baked scones! Beautiful surrounding area.

We had an amazing experience at the Lyttelton Boatique house. The house has the best view of the harbor and was an easy walk into town. The house was immaculate and decorated with interesting antiques and memorabilia. We enjoyed every minute there! Of other importance, we traveled to NZ after a state of emergency and needed to catch up with our cruise ship in Lyttleton. Our luggage never made it and the owner offered to give me clothes or whatever we might need. She took the initiative to make a dining reservation for us at the nicest restaurant in town so we had a wonderful place to eat that night. She also drove us to the shuttle for the ship and refused to take any extra money for her trouble. The Boatique house and its owner were our literal shelter in the storm and we are forever grateful!! We missed so much of NZ but if everyone is as wonderful as Frances, we got a real exposure to the wonderful people and culture of NZ. Thanks you Frances!!

A lovely host and a unique location. Great little walk up to the town, easy to pick up groceries. Well equipped kitchen and bed was very comfortable. Thank you Frances for being so very accommodating.

I was on a business trip so didn't spend too much time in the town, but this property is definitely worth staying for any reason to stay in Lyttelton. It's very close to the main street in town, just a few minute away. It has a great view of the harbor and an open deck to enjoy the view if the weather is decent. The rooms are big, and most importantly the beds are super comfortable. The host is very friendly too!

Francis was a charming, helpful host. One tip if you want to eat at the local seafood restaurant, book ahead. It is very popular. We weren't so happy with the choices in the high street 😕 otherwise loved Lyttelton, especially as we there on a Saturday, which is market day....buzzing 👌
