Elm Tree House

The finest bed and breakfast accommodation in an elegant 1920's setting in Christchurch, New Zealand.

There's no better place to enjoy your Christchurch bed breakfast holiday than the charming Elm Tree House in stylish Merivale. It is so named because of the large weeping elm set amongst its spacious grounds. This large family house was built in 1920 by the England Brothers who were known at the time for their unique architectural style, and was later owned by Canterbury's Member of Parliament from 1925 to 1930. Native timbers and lead light windows are used throughout both storeys of this early New Zealand colonial style home.

Elm Tree House bed breakfast is well situated 2km from the central city district, Hagley Park and the Christchurch Gardens. It is 15 minutes by mini shuttle from the airport and Trans Alpine Rail, and just 5 minutes walk to many fine restaurants, antique shops and a shopping mall in fashionable Merivale Village.
