Second time staying here. Hotel is very well kept and cozy. Wonderful location across the park from the city centre. The owner is a lovely lady who takes pride in the property and the area. Will definitely stay here again.
We stayed two nights, found it clean and convenient with everything we needed, just a little tired. We enjoyed the walk through Hagley Park to the city centre.

Large room in an older style hotel situated on Christchurch's central green areas and walking distance to botanical Gardens.
Mine hosts and staff are polite, friendly and helpful. We extended our stay we liked it so much
Good clean spacious room with separate bedroom. Kitchenette was well stocked even with a toaster oven which most places don’t provide. Very comfortable. TV offered complimentary Net Flix. Area was good with restaurants and grocery stores and across from the park.
Room was a little dated, but had everything we needed. The shower was hot and great at the end of a day of exploring. Easy drive to Westfield shopping centre and town centre. Across from the Botanical gardens for a walk.
great stopover for a few days. Wonderful location, large room and fully stocked kitchen (pans, plates, utensils). The owner at check in was quite friendly and had lots of info about what's about town. Would stay again
Very convenient for airport and central Christchurch, easy walk through picturesque botanical gardens. Room was very clean, owner very helpful and informative.
Loved the location. Great basic accommodations. Excellent help from the staff. Literally walked across the road and we were in Hagley Park and close to the botanical gardens within minutes.
