Good location right near the heart of Christchurch. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. The only negative was the fact the toilet and bedrooms were on the third floor which made it a bit difficult for my 75 year old Mum.
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.

Unable to travel as we unexpectedly contracted Covid. Bella Vista excellent to deal with. We will travel again in the next few months to enjoy our stay with them.
Great service
Lovely place to stay in, unit was very tidy and clean, location is great being so close to town. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again when back in Christchurch.

We stayed here in 2016, 2023 and now 2025.
I can not say enough about their efforts to make our stays the best experiences we had during our traveling around South Island.
The staff at Bella Vista were very friendly and helpful, the place was clean and in a good location just 15-20 minutes walk from the city centre. I'd definitely recommend it, it was nice and quiet too.
There were three friends sharing the space. There was lots of room. The rooms were very nice and clean but we were close to a busy street and it was very noisy.

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.
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.
The Bella vista had everything you could want for a stay in Christchurch.
Bed was comfortable and clean. Room serviced daily.
Ironing board and iron, fan for hot nights, microwave and fully stocked kitchenette.
Was just a little tired in decor but we had a very comfortable stay and really had not one thing to complain about.
We had a small studio suite but it was convenient. It was a Friday and Saturday night so the traffic was pretty noisy til about 1 am. Beds were comfortable, wifi good, very clean. Could walk to downtown area.
