I extended the booking to two nights and then also added a night for the following weekend, when... More

In view of Christchurch center being virtually inaccessible/fenced off and therefore a lack of restaurants/hotels/shopping we stayed in the Riccarton area from where we could walk to the center and other areas. Very nice hotel owners, great cooked breakfast, served in our spacious room with kitchen amenities, quiet, comfi beds. We were sad that we were not able to view... More

Rooms were comfy. We were travelling in a group. And the 2 bedroom suite offered plenty of space for the family. We also used a one bedroom suite, where a single bed in the living room made it more comfortable with the kids. Location was very good, with plenty of eateries and a beautiful park nearby. A 24 hour convenience... More
