What area should I stay in in Christchurch?
Having stayed in Christchurch a couple of days ago, I checked in at a hotel in the centre of town. Christchurch locals may realise the problem with this - because of the closed red zone, there are not many areas of interest, eating options, etc, in this area any more.
What areas would be a better place to stay if I'm looking for easy walking access to restaurants and nightlife?
Best Answer
I second the Riccarton Road recommendation. Although it's a bit pricey, I recommend the Parkview on Hagley. It will run 150-200 per night but it is well located by bars, restaurants, and shopping along Riccarton. Also, it is adjacent to Hagley park. Take a walk through the park, the botanical gardens, take in a rugby match. On the other side of the park, you are in the CBD and you can enjoy some disaster tourism and check out the Re:Start mall on Cashel street.
Plenty of other motels along Riccarton as well for a variety of budgets. I am not affiliated with the Parkview but stayed there frequently when I was in the process of moving to CHCH. Friendly staff, great amenities, brilliant location.
