    The room was very clean but very small. Ideal for a 1 night stay, but we were travelling around New Zealand and had a lot of luggage which had to be kept in the car. Lovely lady on reception. Would recommend paying a little extra for a bigger room.…

    All around great location, central to everything in Christchurch and the outlying neighborhoods. Jay, the owner, is a great guy: extremely kind and helpful. Room was clean; came with actual silverware and glassware, along with some small appliances like a little grill, a toaster, and an electric teapot (and obviously a fridge). Only negative thing is that the parking lot is small, but you can utilize extra space in the adjoining lot, and if you’re renting a small car anyway, you’ll be fine. Thank you Jay!…
