Terrific Experience in Christchurch
Beautiful in-town villa within easy walking distance of city center. Management/owner present to meet every need or request. Breakfast served family style including vodka for mix-your-own Bloody Mary! Parking on site; convenient to restaurants and entertainment.Spent 4 weeks traveling in Australia and N.Z. and this was our favorite hotel.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Laundry picked up by retail service at hotel so prices much more reasionable than typical big hotel; "Cookin with Gas" restaurant next door is excellent; try the Court Theate across the street for live performances.

We’ll stay here again
Great updated historic house in perfect location near park, museums, cathedral, the Avon, theaters, and more. Extremely comfortable room and tasteful decor throughout. Fun, tasty, and filling "continental" breakfast. Helpful owners and staff. We were sorry that we could not stay longer and look forward to staying at the Classic Villa when we return to Christchurch.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Take 2+/- hour walking tour that departs from near Cathedral Square. We learned history and enjoyed stories told by our docent, a retired teacher whose great grandfather was of one of the original settlers.
