Just
minutes from the centre of Christchurch in New Zealand, The Charlotte
Jane is perfectly situated for guests to enjoy the city at their leisure.
Sophisticated, yet homey
elegant, yet comfortable this grand Victorian
house is an outstanding boutique hotel.
This magnificent
residence was built in 1891 for Captain Frederick Gibson whose daughters
founded the Miss Gibson's Private School for Girls (Rangi Ruru Girls'
School) and later accommodated family and up to sixty students. Now,
over a century after it was built, the Charlotte Jane has been magnificently
restored and refurbished to provide luxury bed and breakfast accommodation.
Each room is individually
decorated, with fine furnishings in keeping with the grandeur of the
house. There is also a beautiful garden, blending native trees with
rhododendrons
and roses and fresh flowers are throughout the house.
The Charlotte Jane
is for honeymooners, couples or business people with discerning tastes
and is unsuitable for children under 14 years.
