We stayed for 4 nights in February. It was very sad to see all the earthquake damage so close to the guesthouse, but our room had been unaffected, though the guesthouse itself was undergoing renovation during our stay. Des was very friendly and helpful, showing us various places to go and highlighting areas which are now in the Red Zone... More

Room was very new and clean with all the mod cons. Free wifi (without hidden charges or limits) was very welcome. There was some renovation/construction in the front building when we first arrived during the day (courtesy of the earthquake) but this did not interfere with our stay at all as our room was in the separate building at the...

I stayed for a couple of nights on my arrival in Christchurch. The motel was undamaged by the earthquake, but Des was unable to offer breakfast as the main house was undergoing earthquake-related repairs. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. It looked out onto a little courtyard where you can sit out to read, chat and drink. The tragedy... More

We stayed at the Grange whenever we came to Christchurch in the last 13 years and it's still our first and only choice. Spotless large motel units in the back and nice rooms in the heritage main house. Take note that the motel units suffered no damage at all and the main house will reopen soon after repairs and reinforcement.... More

Des the manager is always on hand and very cheerful and helpful. We stayed for 3 nights and had our baby boy with us, so Des happily sorted out a cot for him to sleep in. Everything in the room was brand new and very clean - compact, but perfectly presented. There are larger rooms as well I noticed. A... More

We will always choose the Grange when in Christchurch. Excellent location, yummy breakkie with fresh fruit and a long rest in a very well maintained room. More

An old heritage house, near the centre of town, a great location as you can walk to all the major attractions in Christchurch. There are 15 rooms in total, and ours was at the front and despite being on a busy road, was not too noisy. The room was clean & comfortable, and the full cooked breakfast was great. There... More

An elegant old place lovingly restored and immaculate. Being Christchurch, this place gets away with having rooms facing one of the main streets in the CBD, there being almost no traffic after 8pm. Des is a great host, very helpful and anticipating what we needed. Free wi-fi and computer use, generous breakfast and even a full laundry service!! Lots of... More

The property is a combination B&B and Motel. We stayed in tow different "Studio" units behind the main house. They are actually one bedroom units. The owner could not be more helpful during our stay. Free internet access, advice and made our shuttle reservations to the train station. The electric blankets were nice too. More
