We are used to quiet nights and it is difficult to find a place in Christchurch (being a big city) that is both convenient and quiet. Cathie's place is both of these! Probably the most closest place to stay if needing to go to Nga Puna Wai Sports Hub. And surprisingly close to Riccarton and Central Christchurch. The shower has a hand held head so it was very nice to use. The accommodation cost was very reasonable and great for short term stays. We enjoyed our stay!
