Great location. We had a good walk in the Central City. We stayed at a 2-bedroom apartment and we found everything that we need. The place is clean. The bed is comfortable although some other furnitures are a bit dated. We stayed at the first floor so we had to take our luggage up the stairs. Check in is fast and easy. Overall a pleasant stay.

Really good place to stay in Christchurch for a decent price. I was surprised how good it was here. Had a warm welcome at the desk. Room was spacious and big comfy bed. About a 10 min walk into the city centre, super easy. Free parking at the property too. Plenty of restaurants nearby.
