Luxurys in Christchurch

unfortunately there are still remenants of the last earth quake, at the city center, This hotel was top of the line!and every thing else was still great in terms of the New Zealand experience, what a fabulous country and what wonderful people the Kiwi's are!!!

We have family in Christchurch so have never stayed in a hotel there before, this was a 'surprise' visit so we were in hiding and knew that there had been a vast amount of damage to the City and hotels. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel and the staff were fabulous. Would also like to recommend the restaurant - the food was superb.

We arrived travel weary from two months non-stop touring. The Commodore Hotel makes an immediately welcoming and comforting impression. The staff are friendly and helpful. The double room was generously large, with two queen-sized beds. The hotel building celebrates the famous Kiwi woods; everything is wood-lined and solidly made. The restaurant could not be faulted, with a wide choice of dishes. We found and enjoyed a sauna, followed by a pleasant swim in a fairly large indoor pool, followed in turn by a whirlpool jacuzzi. There is an enclosed garden-lounge with an outdoor fireplace. The hotel is very conveniently placed for a visit to the Antarctic Centre - which is a fascinating experience - and also to the Christchurch International Airport. Complimentary shuttle buses are provided by the hotel to both these sites, and they also delivered us and collected us from a useful shopping mall.

Beautiful room!! Nice views, comfortable bed and heating flooring in the bathroom!! Absolutely loved our stay - we will be back! Plus a little teddy to take home as a momento. Thank you!

Great hotel, central. Christchurch is undergoing an amazing change post earthquake, the city centre is very desolate. However, there are the bones of a great city. Hotel is close to everything, I walked everywhere. The hotel was fantastic, staff were very helpful and accomodating. Would definitely stay there again. Also room service was excellent.

We were so pleased to stay in this charming little boutique hotel near center of Christchurch. Staff was ever so helpful, the rooms were cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was very good with the owner busy at the helm.

Good choice, wife very impressed. Place has a wow factor and Liz makes you feel very comfortable too.

A beautiful hotel, wonderful rooms and fittings, close to the centre of Christchurch (a sobering experience for those of us who did not experience the earthquakes, but heartening to see the attempts to restore the city). Ann and Harold are very helpful owners and they provided a truly delicious breakfast. Alan W
