Moving to Christchurch? On an extended holiday? Visiting family? Or on a working holiday?

Why stay in a motel when you can have the convenience of your own home, fully furnished and all services provided, for less than NZ$77 per night?

Kowhai Villa offers two boutique self-catered apartments within a 95 yr old home, in a delightful garden showcasing New Zealand native plants. Each apartment has been tastefully renovated in a classic contemporary style, retaining the character of the early 20th century, with the convenience and comfort of today. New kitchens incorporate stainless steel appliances, including dishwashers; heated towel rails, bathroom heaters, fans and gas water heating ensure the new bathrooms are a pleasure to use.

Both apartments feature private courtyards with outdoor furniture which provide relaxing areas to sit in sun or dappled shade, play petanque, or enjoy a barbeque on one of Christchurch's warm summer evenings.

All beds and sofa beds have new, plush and comfortable mattresses. Bed and bath linen is supplied, along with feather or wool duvets, fluffy pillows and reading lamps for the many books and magazines provided.

Apartment A has 2 separate bedrooms, one with a queen slat bed, the other with twin beds which attach to form a king bed. There is also a queen-size sofa bed in the living room.

Apartment B has one king bed, one double sofa bed in the sunroom, and another double sofa bed in the living area.

"Thanks so much. We really enjoyed staying at Kowhai Villa Apartments. Beautifully appointed, all the conveniences we needed, comfortable beds-a cosy haven we really enjoyed. Wonderfully set up for our 3 yr old daughter too. Breakfast out in the sun in the courtyard was very serene and a lovely start to the day. The weather turned it on for us too! Thanks again and all the best." - Jacki, Charlie and Charlotte, NZ
