For our 10 day NZ trip (from California), we spent the first 2 nights and the last 2 nights at the Poplars Apartment Hotel. We were 2 single travelers and we loved the 2 bedroom/2bath apartment set up, as it provided us each with our own personal space, but with the ease and familiarity of a shared kitchen/living room/dining room... more

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment . It was well decorated, extremely spacious and comfortable. The living hall, kitchen and bedrooms were big and nice with 2 heaters in each room along with air conditioning facility for the whole apartment. Overall, a delightful stay! more

I had business meetings in Christchurch, and my husband and toddler came along. We booked a 1 bedroom. The kitchen facilities were excellent and the furniture was very comfortable. The king bed was terrible, though, because it was two twins stuck together, and they had hard bars in the middle. So you couldn't sleep in the middle of the bed.... more

We stayed here twice, on two separate occasions, while traveling the south island of New Zealand. It's a no-frills hotel, so don't come expecting luxury amenities.

We were back for a second visit and the apartments facing north are excellent. They are older style but very comfortable, walking distance to the city, frre parking across the road more

Not far from the shops/restaurants - a good base to explore Christchurch. Reception staff very accommodating. We were getting married out in NZ, and mentioned this before we went - to our amazement, we got a free upgrade to the presidential suite! So generous of them - and it really was a stunning room - huge, with a large dining... more

I felt compelled to write a review on how great the Poplars Apartment Hotel really is, and particularly the impact that Bruce Nolan has on each and every stay. He runs a tight front desk, and his influence on his carefully chosen staff is evident in the way they treat the guests with the upmost respect and courtesy. This hotel... more

Value for money, this well positioned, close to Christchurch city centre, was all the things you look for in an apartment hotel. We were all very happy with our stay. Even free phone calls and broadband. We know where to stay next time we go to Christchurch. Thoroughly recommended. more
