Classic Villa at heart of historic Christchurch
We felt so lucky to be able to stay in Classic Villa during our short visit in Christchurch. The hotel is a lovingly restored villa in the heart of historic Christchurch—across the street from the heritage buildings that comprise the Arts Centre, the hotel is very close to Botanical Garden, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, and many good restaurants. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Our hosts Steve and Jackie were very nice and welcoming who provided wonderful service all around, including severed delicious breakfast to us. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the hotel to others.
