This B&B is easy to get to by car. We flew into Christchurch and hired a rental car. Bonus is free parking on site so park and walk as the central city area is only about 0.5km away. The unit we had was spacious, clean and tidy and well appointed. If we were staying more than one night it would of been ideal to cook a light meal. As we were travelling we had toast and coffee for breakfast but they also do a cooked breakfast. The bed was really comfortable. On arrival we were given a map of the city and all the tourist sights we wanted to see were marked on it for us and explained.

Chic Designer Style with 5* Service

Reviewed By Susan R

We loved our stay from the moment we arrived we were welcome by super friendly, yet professional staff. Bags were taken to our room whilst we relaxed over a coffee before taking a walk into the central city. Returned to the warmth and ambience of the wonderful cozy living spaces - time for a cocktail with friends. Super comfortable armchairs, interesting artworks and delicious cocktails. We booked for dinner at Miro at the Manor - why go out of the hotel when you can enjoy such exquisite cuisine. Recommend the Tasting Menu - delightful treats with a wine selection to complement the dish. Then up the impressive Kauri staircase to our Deluxe super king room - the bed had been turned down with the electric blanket switched on -nice. Rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed with a super cool mini bar and fridge, nespresso machine and coffee. Oh and a bedtime treat...Breakfast was on another level again - simply scrumptious. Just go - you'll love it.

Perfectly located

Reviewed By Beaneyhead

My wife and I had to do an overnight business trip in Christchurch and the Towers was the perfect place to park up. Dead handy to town, Joyful on Riccarton for a quick takeaway dinner, Hagley park for morning run, Westfield for last minute shopping, and close to arterial route to head away. The room was neat and clean, and special thanks to Sirena at the front desk for making the booking smooth and easy - terrific customer service. Will be back - highly recommended.

No Covid -19 sign in provisions

Reviewed By Tourer142

The unit was clean and comfortable but I was very concerned that there is no Covid QR code to scan or Covid sign in register. This is a mandatory requirement of businesses and particularly important for accommodation providers!
