Overview
Stay at the Old Countryhouse and escape the hustle from the moment you step through the garden gate.

One of Christchurch's favourite backpacker hostels for 13 years. We invite you to take a walk along our garden path to one of our charming 19th century colonial villas with polished wooden floors and hand-made native timber furniture. All our villas have been fully restored and have everything to make your stay with us a memorable one. They are set among landscaped gardens, and have electronic secure access.

Choose from our comfortable double, twin, single or dorm rooms, some with ensuite bathrooms. Full European-style central heating in every room keeps you toasty warm during the winter months. Bedroom linen is provided. Groups are welcome and whole villas can be hired for private use.

The Old Countryhouse is well-equipped, with farmhouse style kitchens, warm guest lounge rooms, WiFi internet throughout, free off-street parking. Our staff are experienced in tourism, just ask at reception for tour and travel bookings and assistance.

The Old Countryhouse is situated in a very convenient location on the eastern side of the central city. Easy transport links from the airport, direct buses to the Riccarton shopping district as well as to local beaches leave right from our doorstep. We can organise 24-hour discount shuttle services from reception. There are a range of shops, restaurants and take-aways within 3 minutes walk, as well as a small supermarket 2 minutes away.

**NO earthquake damage! We are fully open.**

We'd love to have you stay!
