Enjoyed a lovely stay at the Classic Villa. Located in central Christchurch, many points of interest within 10 minutes walk. Property isn't classified as such but to me seems like bed & breakfast style accommodation. Very quiet and feels like being in someone's home.

We recently spent three nights at The Classic Villa. It has a central location in a lovely area. We were able to walk to several nice restaurants and parks. Our hosts, Steve and Jackie, were lovely and so very helpful to us. The room was very clean and well appointed. Would definitely stay here again
