Always the best value and best comfort

Always our go-to place when we stay in Christchurch - the owners are lovely and super hospitable and it’s cheap and cheerful with no extra frills - but that’s reflected in the price which is easily the best value in Canterbury especially with this location. Beds are comfy; rooms are spacious, shower is warm and carparking is included - all the things you need for a quick easy stopover in Chch.
