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.

Arrived very late and had only wished we could have been earlier to enjoy the wonderful amenities of the motel. The staff were extremely pleasant and could not have helped as any more. Extremely close to the airport as we had to leave at 5am the next morning and had requested a quiet room as to not disturb other guest. I booked on line before leaving Sydney, not realising that it was so big a complex. Most enjoyable.

Our party of 5 stayed overnight in Christchurch and because it was a 50th birthday celebration, it needed to be special. And it was! We had a fantastic stay - the young South African on reception was fantastic, assisting us with booking a restaurant (The Curator's House - AMAZING!) and with general inquiries. The room was sensational - clean, spacious, comfortable - and we didn't want to leave for Queenstown the next day!

Our room was modern, clean and very comfortable with all the amenities you would expect of a Novotel. Location in Cathedral Square was very central and we could walk almost anywhere from there, restaurant area, botanic garden, shipping container shopping precinct etc. Wi-Fi was included. We did not dine in the restaurant but had great cocktails at the bar and could order drinks there to then take to our room. Staff were hit and miss. Had a very helpful man at check-in with great recommendations for restaurants nearby. My partner found another staff member abrupt and unhelpful when trying to book a taxi to the airport for our early morning flight. Asked the Concierge about whether it was worth visiting an area called Woolston. He didn't even know where it was - we had to show him on the map. Luckily another Concierge overheard and was able to recommend we visit the area, a brewery and fantastic shopping area in a renovated tannery building and a fantastic restaurant for dinner. Made our last night in Christchurch great!

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
