Eliza's Manor, NEW ZEALAND

Description: Eliza's Manor

Absorb the classic charm of this historic building and be captivated by the warm, evocative indoor architecture of leadlight windows, a wood panelled dining room, an intricately carved staircase and sparkling chandeliers. Outside, protected English trees add to the authentic old-world charm of The Manor's stately front garden. Built in 1860 and beautifully maintained as a family home for much of its life, the Christchurch mansion that is now The Manor was restored and created into guest accommodation in 1981.

Enjoy personal service as you unwind at a home away from home that pays attention to the details of hospitality, such as providing home baking with a relaxing cup of tea.

Each guest bedroom at The Manor is individually decorated, combining an historic ambience with modern convenience to create quality bed and breakfast accommodation.

Wake up in the morning to a continental breakfast, freshly brewed tea or coffee and the chef's hot dish of the day. Relax in the magnificent entrance hall and step back in history as you admire the staircase that was intricately carved in Scotland for a merchant - possibly one of the original owners of the hotel - and imported to the new colony of New Zealand. Help yourself to tea, coffee, chilled water and home baked biscuits in The Manor's guest lounge. Relax with a newspaper, book or magazine, have a drink in the fully licensed bar, enjoy the warmth of the fire in the winter and take advantage of the hotel's garden bar during the warmer months.
