  • Sparkling clean, spacious room and bathroom equipped with a kettle, coffee, tea, and a fridge. Good parking and laundry facilities (you have to ask staff where the washer/dryer is). Excellent stay!

  • We came to the Halswell to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. The staff were lovely, friendly and efficient. The food was fantastic, especially the New York baked cheesecake! The Southern Fried Chicken was beautiful and a large serving, along with the Chicken burger. We highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back soon

  • Went in a few Sundays ago and what amazing experience we had. The food was outstanding and the service was amazing. Saw that they even had a play area for the kids. Best breakfast about and we will be back for dinner. Big shout out to the woman running the show. Amazing job.

  • We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.
