“great place - awesome breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

we only had a short stayover in Christchurch but we decided to try and find accomodation that was close to the CBD that had not been affected by the earthquakes (this in itself is quite a challange).

The Classic Villa was in perfect condition and seemed to be not effected by the earthquake at all.

the rooms were great, bathoom was big and clean. the room was spacious.

The breakfast was a highlight of this b&b. The owner took pride in both the quality and the appearence of the breakfast. Very Impressive.

All in all i would have no problem staying at the Classiv Villa again.

“Spotless property with delicious breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011 via mobile

This started our month stay in nz and a great start it was.

The property is luckily just outside of the city centre exclusion zone and therefore is still in a great spot for The botanical gardens, a walk along the river and around the earthquake spots (recommended to give you some perspective.

The breakfasts are plentiful and of high quality with everything topped up as you go. The coffee is also awesome.

The room we had was spotless and had a big cozy bed.

Free wifI around the property is also a bonus.

“Great Location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

Great travel oasis......... Right in town near the Botanical Gardens and the Museum. Also half a block away from the pick-up point for the Antactica Center which should be on everyone's list in Christchurch. Very hospitable!

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Amazing location, across from the art center (hope this will re-open soon!) and steps from the beautiful botanic gardens and informative and interesting museum. Large room with toasty fireplace, comfy bed and nice bathroom. Internet access. Nice breakfast. Pretty patio. Very friendly and welcoming hosts.

“Beautiful old house in the city centre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011

Great big room, very clean, rather helpful staff, free internet, great breakfast served by the staff. Guests share a kitchen and a living room so you might feel almost like at home. Very social atmosphere during the breakfast since all guests sit around one big table; very unusual! Lots of books and magazines available as well as coffee, tea and fruit during the stay. Perfect location!
