Classic Villa at heart of historic Christchurch
We felt so lucky to be able to stay in Classic Villa during our short visit in Christchurch. The hotel is a lovingly restored villa in the heart of historic Christchurch—across the street from the heritage buildings that comprise the Arts Centre, the hotel is very close to Botanical Garden, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, and many good restaurants. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Our hosts Steve and Jackie were very nice and welcoming who provided wonderful service all around, including severed delicious breakfast to us. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the hotel to others.

This is a wonderful hotel/B&B. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent morning breakfast. Lots of common rooms for relaxing. It’s also a very short walk to the botanical gardens and town center. Highly recommended.

Classic comfort
We stayed at one of the classic rooms which is located on the ground floor. The managers try very hard to make the stay pleasant. Rooms are clean and comfortable and serviced daily. Location is excellent, very close to all places of interest with a walking distance. The verandah is great to sit outside on a sunny day. On the negative, there is no mini fridge or coffee making facility, only available thru the breakfast room.Water took a very long time to heat up. There is limited parking available, and we had to park two blocks away for a free space. Included breakfast had great variety of condiments, but no hot food served, eg eggs. Overall it was a pleasant stay, but with the amount of money there are more comfortable modern hotels around.
