Situated in Christchurch and only 7.6 km from Christchurch Railway Station, Cashmere Heights features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This apartment provides air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. This 5-star apartment offers private entrance.

For people like us who travel around the world all year round, we are also pleasantly surprised by this apartment. All the details are just like at home. It is convenient and practical, full of surprises and love, and the bedding is the standard of a five-star hotel or even better. Well, it’s rare that I can sleep well while traveling. This is the best apartment hotel we have ever stayed in. I highly recommend it to everyone. This is a real feeling from home to home. Thanks again for the hospitality of the host.

Offering free WiFi and barbecue facilities, Magnolia Cottage offers rooms in Christchurch, 35 km from Sumner Beach and 29 km from Re:START. Among the various facilities are a garden and a terrace. The property is 29 km from Christchurch Arts Centre and 29 km from Christchurch Art Gallery.

From our arrival to our goodbyes, Julie was a gracious host. She greeted us with homemade banana and chocolate cake and was not intrusive, even though she and her husband live on the property. She made us feel welcome and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. Although a bit far out, I will definitely stay there again, especially since I now know a different route to get there from what Google maps tells you.

    Nice little hotel in Governors Bay. We looked for sth outside of ChCh and we were surprised to find this gem. Rooms are lights and functional and not to spacious. Bathroom sink on the room. Blinds for the windows available. Great pub underneath so not much walking and there is not much around the place anyway.
