Position, very helpful staff who did everything to accommodate us given our very early/ very late arrival and departure times, look and security.

A great place to stay, a real home away from home. Free fresh bread in the morning is a bonus. We loved this place so much we cancelled our other Christchurch accomodation for our last night in New Zealand. Good stuff!

excellent value for money; large twin room, with full size ensuite for $34/night. Communal phone provided with free local calls (never been anywhere else that provided this). Good lounge and kitchen areas. Very clean. Free homemade bread was put out first thing in the morning while I was there - nice touch. Only things I could fault: they don't provide soap, the lock on our room was defective (door could still be opened, though door was locked).

A lovely place. We really appreciate the personalized service from the staff. We like the "smallness" and appreciate the thought that has been put into the facilities.

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the beautiful gardens and just the general setup that encouraged interacting with other travellers - it was an easy place to unwind and relax and yet not far from the city hub.
