This is a really sweet place to stay. The space is large and clean and has really warm touches (fresh cut flowers, warm blankets, nice pillows, nice snacks, etc.) I was greeted by two very sweet ducks as I made my way to the little cottage that wasn't so little. The location is great to get to all parts of Christchurch and once I figured out how to park next to the house, that too was a great thing. I recommend Diane's place for the peacefulness, spaciousness and warmth. Great hospitality to be greeted with when on business away from home. Also, the bed was pretty comfy and the linens were nice.
