07 Apr 2026

It was a fun place to land in Christchurch. Great location. We enjoyed the pool table, the darts, and the tea and coffee making facilities. The room was pretty rough and ready but we were only there for one night, and did not spend much time in the room itself. Helpful and friendly staff, good-humoured fellow guests. Very close to a great pub/ restaurant called the Church Pub.
