Welcome to the City Centre Motel

The City Centre Motel is located in the very heart of Christchurch. We warmly invite you to enjoy this quiet, peaceful setting - with birdsong - in the central city.

The City Centre Motel is a four-minute walk to the Town Hall, Convention Centre, Southern Cross Hospital and the city's famous free shuttle bus service.

We are an eight-minute walk to Christchurch Cathedral in the square, the Tram and the Tourist Information Office and a 10-minute walk to our glorious Hagley Park. The Arts Centre, Art Gallery, Museum and Botanic Gardens are a 10-15 minute walk away.

The motel is an easy 10 to 15 minute drive from Christchurch Airport, the Train Station, Westpac Arena and AMI Stadium.

We are happy to arrange the free shuttle service to pick you up from the motel to take you to the train station if you are planning a trip on the TranzAlpine or TranzCoastal train while staying with us.

There are various car rental companies within easy walking distance of the motel.

Through the seasons our gardens display Rhodos, Camelias, Azalias, Roses, Daphne, Lavender, Hydrangeas as well as our other spring and summer plantings.

In keeping with our philosophy for responsible tourism, we work hard to recycle, conserve water and protect and maintain our treasured trees.

While enjoying the peace and tranquility of our magnificent site - the city's attractions are just a short stroll away.

Enjoy your stay with us while you enjoy some of the events planned for the Garden City in the coming months.
