We could not have asked for a better place to stay as we began our journey of the South Island. Bev was a wonderful host. She took the time to talk with us, answer all of our questions/concerns, and helped us plan our itinery for our time in the area based on our interests. Very comfortable room w/private bath. We especially liked the location as we could walk to the City Center and nearby restaurants. Megs, the in-house Jack Russell Terrier was a delight! We would definitely book another stay at Eliza House. We were sad to leave!
