The Classic Villa – Christchurch

The Classic Villa is housed in a heritage building erected in 1899 and carries a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Classification.  This beautifully appointed Italian-style villa is located on a quiet one-way boulevard, directly opposite the Christchurch Arts Centre.

Offering 12 guest rooms, this luxury boutique hotel accommodates up to 24 guests. Polished timber floors, ornate plaster ceiling roses, luxury bedding and mirrored wardrobes capture the intimacy of yesteryear.  Flat screen televisions, Sky TV and complimentary wireless internet. Ensuite bathrooms feature walk-in massage showers, underfloor heating and complimentary toiletries.

Christchurch City is developing into a great place to visit, with exciting new bars, cafes and restaurants opening throughout the city. The Classic Villas is within walking distance of main attractions in the city.

Take a punt down the Avon River, stroll through the Botanic Gardens and Hagley Park; play a round of golf at Hagley Park. 

Take a day trip north to Waipara Wine Country to taste award-winning wines and dine al-fresco at some stunning wineries. Head east to Banks Peninsular and on to the pretty French-inspired seaside village of Akaroa – just a 90-minute drive from Christchurch city.

Relax and mingle at the end of your day with a glass of wine in the comfortable lounge or in the outdoor garden with its open fire. Perhaps a nightcap of Port or Brandy, and wake to a sumptuous Mediterranean breakfast.
