The Classic Villa

Elegant/stately (and warm) home converted to B&B. Modern baths, classic architecture. The couple hosting guests are also warm and have set up a relaxing and beautiful set of common rooms and a wonderful kitchen/dining area for breakfast.The Classic Villa is located a short walk from an amazing art gallery and several restaurants.Definitely a must-stay if you're coming to (or passing through) Christchurch.

We just spent 2 nights at the Classic Villas.Our choice of accommodation was influenced on Position, Price and Rating.We won’t disappointed.Steve and Jacki are running a great show. We had a classic room, very much in period style with high ceilings, thick walls and old world charm but with modern amenities ( my fav, heated bathroom floor).The breakfast in the common dining room was continental style with limited variety but quality and more than enough to suit the fussiest person.Steve and Jacki are their to fuss over your every need, nice!The real surprise for us, which we didn’t realise was its position. So close to the city and a stones throw from major Christchurch attractions and restaurants.We appreciated Steve letting us check in at 1.00 in the morning.A pleasant surprise and change from staying at a major.

Wonderful boutique hotel. Our room was super comfortable, quiet and the hotel is very centrally located. Steve was great and was very helpful with everything from restaurants to things to do and any needs we might have had. I would recommend this hotel for a great and personal experience.

We stayed for two night, arriving after a very long flights. The rooms are very nice and quiet. The location is excellent, minutes of walk from most of Christchurch attractions. The breaxfast was good and hosts, Jackie and Steve, are the best. Hopefully we will be able to come back some day.

What a shame we were only there for 1 night. Lovely old house with modernised rooms. The hosts were wonderful. So friendly.

Rooms - Stayed downstairs. Beautiful, and well appointed, but a little cramped for two. Noise review rating was a key reason I choose this hotel. Despite being an older style home, noise wasn't a problem, but I think that was more due to courtesy/lifestyle of other guests. Sometimes door sounds are a small issue due to the age of the doors. However, never heard conversation through the night.Service - Excellent welcome and easy check-in.Location - Next to one of the highest rated kiwi restaurants in Christchurch, but get in early, as they close early.

A wonderful hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff we had a delightful room (1) with all mod cons clean tidy quiet and comfortable nice breakfast and simply perfect location with all the shops bars and restaurants just a few minutes walk away the perfect location for exploring Christchurch... Both owners a delight and nothing was too much trouble full of intersting local knowledge and info we will both be back soon as we enjoyed our stay that much ....

Wonderful, beautifully restored old building. Very central location right opposite the city tram stop and a very short walk to museum and Botanical Gardens. Rooms well appointed and impeccably clean. Great continental brekky provided as part of the room tariff. Service was outstanding. Cannot fault and will return.

Very friendly service from husband and wife hosting team made this feel more like an old fashioned bed n breakfast. Generous, varied options for the included breakfast, comfortable lounge facilities. Rooms comfortable and a clever mix of modern bathroom while retaining enty of character" fitting the age of the property. Great location an easy walk from CBD and many of Christchurch's must-see sites."

Lovely little hotel with walking distance of central Christchurch, really comfortable and great for our first night in New Zealand.The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful, and the continental breakfast was greatHighly recommended!
