Top South Island Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Christchurch Kilmore Street

Wyndham Garden Christchurch Kilmore Street

10/10 Excellent
"This was a very convenient stay for Christchurch area. An easy walk into the centre, close to lovely green spaces. I took the bus from the airport and this hotel was close to a bus stop and also to Christchurch Station for the Kiwi Rail and Tranzalpine Railway. Great having a restaurant onsite and the options for room service were varied and reasonably priced. "
