We stayed at the Classic Villa for 3 days and can only recommend it. Very close to the city centre (or what is left unfortunately) and with very frienly and supportive hosts. Breakfast is good and you have a place to park your car. The rooms are very nice. More

In a World of formulaic hotels and motels, you can usually anticipate exactly what a property will be like, from the greeting at reception to the fold on the toilet paper. I'm pleased to say that The Classic Villa is not a bland 'vanilla' experience! From meeting the same staff each day, to complimentary sherry and port in the evening,... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our night there. Great host (Peter?), breakfast area, location, etc. Old home tastefully restored and decorated. Each room is different. More

She was also very helpful in providing suggestions to eat and explore around Christchurch and the surrounding areas that were not impacted by the earthquake. The food was delicious and nutritious. The cheese selection was great, though... More

The owner was fantastic! He cooked a beautiful breakfast and was super flexible in terms of our check out time when we asked for a late checkout.
