A great location 30 minutes walk from city centre through Hagley Park. Ideal for anybody visiting for cricket. Also just 15NZD per person for a more than adequate breakfast, which will be delivered to the room the evening before.

One of the greatest place to stay in Christchurch
I called to request a room on ground floor and they promised. I arrived late after the check in and due to this I called to ask about a late check in. They also accommodated. The unit is spotless modern comfortable and is at least 3-4 star rating. I would return without doubt.
