Accommodation Christchurch

Holiday homes in Christchurch range from central-city apartments near the rebuilt cathedral square and the Christchurch Botanic Gardens to leafy family houses in Fendalton and Riccarton, and coastal stays out at Sumner and New Brighton. Known historically as the Garden City, Christchurch has spent the years since the 2010–2011 earthquakes rebuilding a compact, walkable centre anchored by the Riverside Market and the tram loop, alongside its established parks and the Avon River. The city is the main gateway to the Canterbury Plains, Banks Peninsula’s Akaroa harbour and, in winter, the Canterbury and Mackenzie ski fields including Mt Hutt. That gateway role means Christchurch sees steady demand year-round: summer for the gardens, punting on the Avon and day trips to Akaroa, winter for travellers heading to the slopes. Christchurch International Airport also makes the city a common first or last night for South Island road trips. Compare the listings below and book at the best price — summer weekends and the ski season both push up demand.
