In the Sydenham district of Christchurch, close to Academy Of New Zealand, Designer Cottage has a garden and a washing machine. This 3-star bed and breakfast offers luggage storage space and a housekeeping service. The rooms have a terrace with quiet street views and free WiFi. Abselutely wonderful stay. Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Nice breakfast served at one big table so that one gets to talk to the other guests about travelling in NZ and what is going on around the world. Clean and nicely decorated room. On the outskirts of citycenter which we liked. It’s a 20-30 min walk to the citycenter but there’s many restaurants and take away oportunities a few minutes walk away.
