“Great owners, convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

We stayed here our first two nights during our two week trip, and it was a great way to start our vacation. Penny and Brian couldn't have been more helpful and gave us recommendations and advice as soon as we walked in the door, which was especially helpful since many places in Christchurch have closed down after the earthquakes. Excellent customer service.

Room Tip: We preferred our room on the second story

This was an excellent hotel with fabulous accommodation. The room was spacious and the owners were helpful with regard to what we should see and do. It was a very pleasant night and enjoyable experience close to the centre of Christchurch

“A lovely start to our New Zealand holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

We stayed at the Camelot for two nights at the start of our holiday in New Zealand. We were very impressed with the amount of space in our two bedroom apartment. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The upper level was quite hot during the day, but cooled off nicely in time for sleeping at night. The downstairs bedroom was seperate, however, the one bathroom was attached as an en-suite, which wasn't ideal for use during the night by anyone sleeping in the other room, but by no means was this a big deal.

Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend a visit.

Thank you so much for posting a review on your stay in one of our large two bedroom apartments.
They are certainly designed with space in mind and yes the design of the bathroom downstairs is unusual however there is a door on the bathroom so privacy once in there is not an issue and the bedroom close by with it's Camelot archway is at least off a wee hallway. Hope you are having a wonderful New Zealand holiday if you are still here thanks for choosing us in Christchurch and most importantly thanks for visiting our city as we need tourists.
