- Fiona (9/5): -
- Gary (10/5): Perfect short stay - Handy to town shops and chch hospital. Clean and tidy well appointed room. Friendly helpful staff. Nothing to dislike about this property.
- Tim (8/5): -
- Chris (10/5): Would stay again. - Central location with on site parking. Easy walk to centre of Christchurch.
Very clean and it had a kitchenette. Modern but with a comfy vibe. Nothing
- Treena (10/5): Comfortable and relaxing - Easy walk to town and botanical gardens; on site parking with very clean and comfortable rooms. Nothing
- Andrea (9/5): - La struttura è veramente fantastica e la posizione eccezionale per girare il centro a piedi.
La camera era in stile con la struttura e dava proprio la sensazione di tempi passati. Niente
- Elizabeth (10/5): -
- Jmha (6/5): Pleasant accommodation in a good location. - Comfortable accommodation
- Kevin (8/5): -
- Elise (9/5): - Beautiful spot! Beautiful little space. I would have loved a quilt cover on the doona. There was just a sheet and then the naked doona, i kept having to adjust the sheet so i didnt sleep with the naked doona.
- Eva (9/5): Lovely bed and breakfast near town - Location is great, Kimberley and George are fabulous hosts. The breakfasts also were good and the hot breakfast was also included. They make a great cappuccino coffee, also included. Plus, its a lovely historical house.I would stay there again. Unfortunately our room seemed to be hot, maybe because it was upstairs. We had to turn the air con to cool it down. Other than that, the room was clean and very quaint.
- Justene (10/5): -
- Ra3ch (9/5): I'll definitely book again - Excellent location and great value. Located only 10min walk to Riverside Markets for dinner, and on the tram route, so perfect for visitors to the city.
Very few central city properties like this one.
We stayed in one of the motel units.
- Peta (7/5): - location was good, room was very clean, Parking was terrible
- Mary (8/5): -
- JennBeeee (10/5): A wonderful B&B with a great breakfast included - Wonderful hosts and a great full breakfast. The guest lounge is a relaxing and beautifully styled bonus. We stayed here at the beginning of our South Island road trip and came back on our last 2 days because we were so impressed with everything. Nothing
- Dana (9/5): -
- Madeline (9/5): -
- Annette (8/5): Eine durchaus empfehlenswerte Unterkunft. - Die Lage war super. In 10- 15 Minuten ist man zu Fuß in der Stadt. Die Matratzen haben unserem Rücken nicht so besonders gut gefallen.
- Sally (10/5): Great place to stay - The location of this motel is great for what we needed, stayed here afew times before and it’s always the same. Nice and clean, comfortable, and warm. Close to the cbd. Nothing
- Brian (9/5): We enjoyed our stay, and recommend. -
- michael (10/5): Beautiful stay in Christchurch - Choice of made-to-order breakfast was great. Room was nice. Appreciate they let us check in early after a long flight from the states. On site parking can be a little tough when they are at full capacity. Street parking is available.
- Atholie (7/5): It suited our needs for one night - We Liked the location and the privacy of the set up. Parking was difficult but the staff made it work.
The beds were very close together.
The bathroom fan was annoyingly noisy.
- Bertrand (8/5): - Proximité avec le centre ville et les accès bus pour l'aéroport.
- Christine (10/5): - Le calme la situation Rien
- SHANTI (9/5): For one night, it was very comfortable. - Location & breakfast To carry our suitcases up the stairs
- Stefan (8/5): Zentrale Lage und viel Platz - Das Zimmer war ein normales Motel-Zimmer, also zweckmäßig ausgestattet, groß und relativ dunkel. Das ist nicht so schlimm, da man sich tagsüber wenig dort aufhält. Super ist die zentrale Lage in der Nähe der Artgalerie und beim Botanischen Garten und dass man dort auch sein Auto parken kann. Das Badezimmer ist sehr groß und in der Dusche viel Platz. Der Geruch (eher Gestank) im Hof.
- Thomas (8/5): - Prima ontbijt
- Leanne (9/5): - Lovely hosts who provided fabulous breakfast each day. Great location for exploring the city. Easy to leave the car parked and walk to places of interest.
- Jon (8/5): Nice breakfast - Convenient N/a
- Maree (10/5): - Great character and fabulous location Nothing
- Marco (8/5): Prima plek, rustig en toch dichtbij centrum - Prima verblijf. Executive Studio heeft een prima bed, hele ruime badkamer, klein keukentje. Ruim genoeg allemaal en een kleine patio/zitje. Rustige omgeving en op loopafstand van centrum Christchurch.
Hop on - hop off tram in de straat, ook makkelijk.
- Lenore (10/5): An amazing place to stay - The staff were amazing , location is great awesome to have on site parking included at no extra cost. Nothing
- yaron (9/5): -
- Ray (8/5): Very good! - Great location No opening window in living area
- piyatida (9/5): -
- Ben (10/5): -
- Kim (8/5): Comfortable, convenient, quiet and clean - Super clean and quiet. We were in ground floor king suite. Very spacious and comfortable Parking was a bit limited - not quite enough spaces if all guests have cars. We had to park in the street one night and get out and pay parking fees at 9am.
- Tuchinsky (9/5): -
- Antony (9/5): - Room was spacious and bed comfortable. Location was reasonably central to the city. While space is limited it would have been better if there was a washing machine/dryer
- Janine (10/5): -
- Christine (6/5): -
- Clarkson (10/5): -
- Maureen (8/5): Great location, good value - Location and off street parking , spacious ensuite, good room We arrived a little early and the communal area was like a Chinese laundry. The man was surly/gruff on 2 occasions. The ladies were lovely.
- Debbie (9/5): Amazing stay - Thank u - Every thing, great location, clean tidy ,warm and welcoming ,a delight It was quite hot and humid at night .
- Albert (8/5): -
- Donna (9/5): Perfect place to stay in Christchurch - Location is fabulous, nice and quiet area and an easy walk to the central city.

La situation Rien
- Michael (9/5): Grange B&B Christchurch - Warm, friendly staff in a charming, centrally located guest house.Easy walk to most of the main sights.
- Marion (9/5): - Sehr gute Lage, alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar Das Frühstück ist extra zu bezahlen und keine große Auswahl
- Margaret (8/5): -
- Ann-Kathrin (9/5): Large room in central location - Convenient location, super clean, spacious room
- Mike (7/5): -
- Johannes (8/5): Een mooi afscheid van de stad waar ik eerder heb gewoond. De stad is enorm veel veranderd na de aardbevingen van 15 jaar - Mooie kamer, prima bed en badkamer. Centrale ligging in de stad, minder dan 10 minuten lopen naar het centrum. De ontbijt kamer is nogal klein voor het aantal tafels, werd een beetje claustrofobisch. Het ontbijt was overigens prima, al hangt er een prijslijst terwijl het inclusief was.
- jonathan (6/5): - Lovely people It was raining!!
- Carole (10/5): - Central Christchurch and included very nice breakfast.
- Rodney (10/5): -
- Stuart Allen (8/5): Met with our expectations - The location was perfect. We could easily walk to all locations in the city centre. Although we only stayed for two days there were no clothes storage facilities,
- Stefanie (6/5): Fantastic location with parking but property is somewhat run down - The motel is in an excellent location with nearly all the activities in the city within walking distance. The hop on tram stop is right outside which was nice. It was also quiet since the room was tucked away off the street. The kitchen was stocked well enough. The bed and pillows were quite comfortable too. The smell of the room was pretty bad. When we arrived, the windows and door were open but that did not help alleviate the smell in the room, which seemed most like dog urine. The other issue was because the windows and door had been left open, we ended up having to kill a few mosquitoes. The faucets in the kitchen and bathroom were loose and difficult to use. The plates in the cabinet were dirty. There was an overall feeling of the property being run down. I was surprised to find such conditions given the positive reviews.
- June (8/5): Would recommend this for a stay in central Christchurch - Even though it was in a great location in Central Christchurch, there was little outside noise in the room. Bed was large but not the most comfortable.
- Malcolm (7/5): Great location for walking in and around Christchurch - The location is good for walking around the sights of Christchurch. The price vs room/facilities was fine. Breakfast (additional cost) was home made and good. The hosts offer a shuttle service to the airport that was perfect. Tram stop directly across the road
- Anita (9/5): -
- Graham (9/5): -
- david (7/5): Ideal for a visit to see the regenerated Christchurch. - Superb location, which was our main reason for booking. Easy walking to city centre, Hadley Park. Added bonus very close to a tram stop. Lighting in the rooms, especially bathroom.
- Kammi (8/5): Lovely place to stay, very close to the botanical gardens. - Lovely apartments to stay in. Very clean and comfortable. Nothing.
- Mark (10/5): - A nice big bedroom in an older house that was well positioned for exploring Christchurch. Very nice breakfast
- serena (8/5): -
- Richard (8/5): -
- Margaret (9/5): Excellent spot to stay - Great breakfast. Would definitely return next time I’m in Christchurch.
- Alistair (8/5): Great location with welcoming staff - Very central, well maintained and friendly staff
- Jill (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay here and booked it at the beginning and end of our Alps to ocean bike ride. It is in a good l - Great hotel in a good location within walking distance to the botanical gardens and around town. Friendly and helpful staff.
- Marie-José (8/5): Très bonne halte pour visiter Christchurch et ses environs - Chambre avec charme
Personnel très accueillant et arrangeant
Proche du centre ville Voilage à la fenêtre
- Julian (10/5): Excellent central location to shops, restaurants and Park - Made to order breakfast was excellent with options. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was quiet. Parking in central Christchurch is an expensive pain, so after a lot of driving (touring NZ) it was nice to park inside the B&B gates and have a short walk (10-15 minutes) to shopping and restaurants. Location was only some 3-4 blocks from central Park, with botanical gardens, punting on river etc. No criticisms
- Anita (9/5): -
- Josef R. (8/5): - Gute Lage zur Stadt; alles vorhanden. Sehr gut für einen Zwischenstop
- Bruce (9/5): Nice value, close to Mt Cook national park - Comfortable lodging for 4 of us Master bedroom tv could not receive channels
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Ali NZ (10/5): Always a great time in Christchurch and it helps having a good base while there. - We have stayed here 6 times for Electric Avenue and once while travelling and the same people have been there for every visit. The hosts are fabulous, very friendly and have been more than accommodating with our large car that doesn't generally fit into the parks. So handy to Hagley Park which is a 10 min stroll or to the Remembrance Bridge, Riverside market and an awesome selection of bars and eateries. The rooms are clean, tidy and warm with upstairs having their own balconies to sit and enjoy a wine or the courtyard below where the downstairs rooms open out to. The main house is also available with some lovely rooms. Optional continental or cooked breakfast is available for a fantastic price as well. We highly recommend The Grange and will definitely be staying there again.
- Ryan (6/5): -
- Charles (9/5): Very satisfied - Handy location to the CBD All good
- Kit (8/5): -
- Jan (10/5): Would stay there again and recommend it to others. - Loved the historic property close to sights. The host family was very friendly and helpful. Spacious room, large bathroom, very good breakfast. We were not clear about the prices posted in the dining room for breakfast.
- Jan (10/5): Great place to stay. - Our first stay of two. We enjoyed the historic property decor and the helpful host family. The room/suite was large and very comfortable. Centrally located to restaurants and sights and right on a tram stop. Nothing.
- Jo (9/5): -
- Walter (8/5): -
- Sharples (9/5): Great value, close to town, and quiet at night. - We were in Rm 10, an Executive studio on ground floor in motel units at rear of property, one in from the end. We loved the quietness of the location, the huge shower area, the location of the motel. Our room opened out onto a shared patio area. This was great for sun but if privacy is your thing maybe go for one of the upper units (smaller, but have a balcony that is yours alone). 2-hob cooker plus fridge and tiny microwave in room. Very helpful owners. Working out whether one was booking ground floor or first floor unit in the motel units wasn't easy. We ended up ground floor, but would have liked option of being first floor, or knowing if unit was one of the 4 in the middle or 4 on the ends.
The parking got a little busy later in the day, so arrive early if with a car.
- George (10/5): - Great location off street and quiet
- Bobbi (9/5): -
- Christine (9/5): lovely easy place to stay and very spacious studios. - great studio space on the ground floor away from road noise and close onsite parking. I like the colourful decor too. all good
- Chris (9/5): No need to look further than The Grange Motel! - Location great for CBD and parks access. The rooms were spacious and clean.
The airport transfer at the end of our stay was an unexpected bonus.
- Sims (10/5): - Great location being a short walk to both Hagley park and the bars and restaurants by the river in town. Rooms are fully updated and very clean. Would definitely stay there again
- nigel (10/5): - Very good experience
- Rianne (8/5): Comfortabel, karakteristiek en op loopafstand van CBD - We hadden kamer 3 en het kingsize bed was super comfortabel. De kamer is heel ruim en rustig gelegen. Vers fruit bij het ontbijt. De vloerbedekking in de kamer was goed gezogen, maar oogt zou een dieptereiniging kunnen gebruiken.
- Ian (10/5): Perfect 👌 - Everything. Comfortable bed, quality linen, great shower, parking, location, lovely eggs benedict with wonderful friendly service that made you feel welcome. Last time I stayed in christchurch I chose Fable (5 star) which had nonchalant staff, awkward parking and higher price. I'm pleased I chose the Grange for this visit and will stay again. Thank you. Not applicable.
- HIROSHI (9/5): コストパフォーマンスがとても良いB&Bdesita. - ロケーションもよく、部屋も清潔でした。食事は家庭的な朝食ですが、普通に満足できます。料金的にも満足出来ました。 満室の状態が理由でしょうが、駐車台数がギリギリという状態でした。
- Rodney (8/5): -
- Allan (10/5): Very comfortable - Big bedroom. Huge bathroom with great shower. Very comfortable. Close to the town centre attractions.
- Valerie (10/5): Excellent in all ways! - The place was lovely, shabby chic feels. Very clean, the location is excellent and the service is absolutely amazing 👏 well done to the family operating this b&b. We will definitely be back! None at all!
