Fantastic Friends Weekend
Diamond Harbour “Hidden Gem” is definitely that. Spacious, spotless, and seriously spectacular views. Just perfect for our large group. Fresh fruit, bread, milk and the lovely bottle of wine added to the WOW factor. The host was easy to communicate with. Diamond Harbour is a lovely area to explore and just a ferry ride over to Lyttelton. Highly recommend this Hidden Gem
