The 2 bedroom unit had everything we required. A huge spa bath that was wonderful to soak in. Beds were comfortable however was expecting a king and a queen we had 2 single beds in the smaller room. Clean rooms, friendly team. Will stay again if we need a room in the future.

Power point in bathroom not working couldn't do my hair anywhere near a mirror, looked awful the whole stay. Staff did come to check it but was not able to be fixed during our stay. Light by bed made sparking sound and blew first night. Other light by bed kept flickering. Will ask when booking accomodation from now on if these things are checked before our stay as not being able to do my hair and feel presentable when travelling for a big event is a deal breaker. Have stayed at bella vista in invercargill lots and never had issues like we did in christchurch.

This place was clean, quiet and comfy. We didn't like the step, narrow stairwell to drag our suitcases. Once in the 2nd floor living, kitchen and dining rooms, you have to climb another set of stairs to the bedrooms & bathroom.

Dated, but comfortable and good service

I appreciated the friendly welcome at reception very much - and was also delighted that I got upgraded from a studio to a 1 bed unit. The units are showing their age, but everything was clean and tidy - plus the bed was very comfortable.
