A wonderful place to stay if you’re looking to explore Christchurch or even the surrounding area because of the wonderful parking facilities. The apartment is in the old government buildings and has a real sense of grandeur. There is a bar and restaurant in the same building, so if you don’t want to make use of the wonderful kitchen facilities, you can always pop downstairs. The host was extremely helpful and very responsive. The bed was very firm and all the furniture and kitchen amenities were in excellent condition. We didn’t use the pool so I can’t comment about that. The apartment was exceptionally clean. And I would definitely look to stay there again.
