18. Eco Villa

Christchurch City Centre

"Totally enjoyed our stay at Eco Villa. Room and service was faultless. The building is simply stunning and has been recently renovated and decorated to an exceptionally high standard. The owners were very friendly, helpful and genuinely care about providing a great service. It's just the best pace to stay to explore Christchurch - circa 10 min walk into the centre or less to some really great coffee shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eco Villa - the beds and bedding were as good...
