A Wonderful place to stay in Christchurch

Having travelled widely over the years this must rate as one of our favourite hotels. It was well located and in excellent condition, welcoming and comfortable. More of a luxury B&B than a standard hotel; it is the hosts (Steve and Jackie) that make the The Classic Villa such a special place. Friendly, helpful and effective they make the place feel like so much more than a hotel, more a home from home. But one where someone else does all of the hard work! Thank you both for providing a wonderful start to our holiday in New Zealand.

This Historic location was so convenient to the trolley, the arts center, the gardens and restaurants. Parking was available on the property. Steve and Jackie were so welcoming, accommodating and friendly in spite of our late arrival from the transalpine train. Such a wonderful breakfast in the morning to enjoy with other guests...five stars!!

Brilliant place to stay with hosts Jackie & Steve providing a base to literally be right in the centre of Christchurch… the tram stops right out side The Classic Vilas. Large rooms and a well equipped bathroom. Dining for the large continental breakfast was in very pleasant surroundings and proper tea and coffee available all day and night. Crucially the bonus is that a bottle of port is out in the evening for when you come in. Extremely pleased we chose this place and would recommend a couple of day s stay

This was such a wonderful stay! As soon as we walked in, I felt at home. I am so happy we got to stay here to enjoy the hospitality. Wonderful location as the botanical gardens are just a block away, a tram stop across the street, arts center about two blocks away, and plenty of good food options.

Had a wonderful one nights stay at the Classic Villa. Upon arrival, our hosts told us that we were upgraded and ended up staying in one of the nicest rooms we ever seen. Very charming and warm as a proper B&B should feel. Even though the breakfast time was from 7:30 am, the hosts were up and ready before 7 to accommodate a group of guests that were leaving earlier. There was access to coffee and treats during the day. The Villa is centrally located and most attraction points in the city are within walking distance. We will definitively stay at the Villa again when visiting Christchurch.
