8/10 Very Good! (751 reviews)
Good location and spacious room! We had two levels with a bedroom on the lower level and additional beds upstairs in a loft style set up. Overall clean, but a little dusty in certain zones. Kitchen had all the basics for breakfast & light food preparation. Dishwashing supplies were provided, which was handy. Overall, happy with the stay but facilities felt a bit outdated, especially the bathroom and shower.

Staff were helpful. Location was perfect. Room was beautiful and clean. In the process of booking our next break, but for much longer. This is due to the best hospitality and food we have experienced since Covid hit in 2020. Christchurch you rock.
