This Historic location was so convenient to the trolley, the arts center, the gardens and restaurants. Parking was available on the property. Steve and Jackie were so welcoming, accommodating and friendly in spite of our late arrival from the transalpine train. Such a wonderful breakfast in the morning to enjoy with other guests...five stars!!

This was such a wonderful stay! As soon as we walked in, I felt at home. I am so happy we got to stay here to enjoy the hospitality. Wonderful location as the botanical gardens are just a block away, a tram stop across the street, arts center about two blocks away, and plenty of good food options.

Brilliant place to stay with hosts Jackie & Steve providing a base to literally be right in the centre of Christchurch… the tram stops right out side The Classic Vilas. Large rooms and a well equipped bathroom. Dining for the large continental breakfast was in very pleasant surroundings and proper tea and coffee available all day and night.
Crucially the bonus is that a bottle of port is out in the evening for when you come in.
Extremely pleased we chose this place and would recommend a couple of day s stay

Having travelled widely over the years this must rate as one of our favourite hotels. It was well located and in excellent condition, welcoming and comfortable.
More of a luxury B&B than a standard hotel; it is the hosts (Steve and Jackie) that make the The Classic Villa such a special place. Friendly, helpful and effective they make the place feel like so much more than a hotel, more a home from home. But one where someone else does all of the hard work!
Thank you both for providing a wonderful start to our holiday in New Zealand.

We loved the area as it was so lovely and very quiet-we could also walk to town or catch the tram. The hotel was lovely and we had a very enjoyable breakfast each morning. The hosts made you feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
