    Pros +

    • Ease of check in and updates very happy with room hot shower was fantastic and location
    • Location, pool, in general everything we needed for our stay
    • Very clean, looks recently refurbished, beds were comfortable. Bed linen was immaculate, as were the towels provided. The provided body wash, and shampoo was a nice touch.

    Cons -

    • Nothing it suited our needs
    • No aircon and even though they confirmed we would have 3 beds we ended up with a double and sofa bed. So 2 large lads had to share double bed after race competition
    • The windows seemed to do very little in terms of deadening any traffic noise or retaining any heat, as it was very cold, the heaters provided were welcomed!There was a visible gap under the front door.The bathroom was quite cold and the heater in there did not work.

    Location was great!

    Bathroom, had mould in places. Towels had marks on them. WiFi was very poor and kept dropping out.

    10LachlaninnzPosted on: 2-13-2026

    Our one-bedroom apartment was fantastic - spacious, well appointed and clean. Great location too, near to Hagley Park and 20 minutes from The Strip. Although on Papanui Road, the room wasn't noisy. Shelley, our host, gave us a call to check when we'd be arriving and was very welcoming.

    We liked everything. No complaints.

    8PhilipPosted on: 2-12-2026

    Location was great for us. It was dog friendly. The dog run area was excellent.

    The sofa and kitchen chairs weren’t very comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the unit due to the reason we were in Christchurch. We were waiting on an appointment

    9Tonih10Posted on: 2-10-2026

    Clean, spacious, great location.

    10LaniPosted on: 2-8-2026

    8AdelePosted on: 2-8-2026

    Well located, we had a dog, second time we have stayed and have enjoyed both experiences.

    Nothing noted.

    7NataliePosted on: 2-8-2026

    Fairly close to city center, you can walk to the tram and ride in.

    Small table and only two chairs for three people

    Location

    We had 3 adults, but only 2 towels and not enough pillows. Very high bath and slippery tiles.

    No issues

    8HelenPosted on: 2-2-2026

    having a place to put my head.

    The shower did leak when you used it out the door. The front door could use some oil as it was hard to turn the keep in the door.

    9VaughanPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Great central location - close to shops, and other essential services. Large, well appointed rooms - good kitchen and cooking facilities.

    10DannyPosted on: 1-28-2026

    10BernadinePosted on: 1-27-2026

    We absolutely loved the large room. The rooms look very new. It was so comfy and very clean. The bed slept wonderful. Enough plates, cups, glasses and cutlery. Nice pool to swim and it was very quiet at night. We booked again for our next stay.

    Nothing!
