About The Classic Villa
Welcome to The Classic Villa, a luxurious accommodation located in the heart of Christchurch, New Zealand. Our establishment is housed in a stunning Italian-style historic home that was built in 1899 on the land chosen by the Reverend John Raven during the early settlement of Christchurch. Situated opposite the prestigious Christchurch Boys High School and Canterbury College, where Lord Rutherford once studied, our villa has a rich history.
Recently, The Classic Villa has undergone a loving restoration, renovation, extension, and tasteful refurbishment to offer some of the finest boutique hotel accommodation in central city Christchurch. Our dedication to preserving the heritage of the building has been recognized by the Christchurch City Council, who awarded us a Heritage Award in the year of our opening in 2006.
Located on a quiet one-way pedestrian boulevard, our luxury boutique hotel is directly opposite the Christchurch Arts Centre in the most central and peaceful part of the city. We are just steps away from various attractions, including the Christchurch Art Gallery, the Christchurch Museum, the renowned Botanical Gardens, the new Convention Centre and Library, the Avon River, Cathedral Square, movie theaters, golf courses, the tram, and an array of shops, cafes, and restaurants.
Start your day with a sumptuous complimentary Continental Breakfast before exploring the nearby botanical gardens, taking a tram ride, or enjoying a refreshing coffee in one of our vibrant cafes. For a leisurely experience, take a stroll to the Riverside Markets, the Christchurch Town hall, Convention Centre, Casino, or try punting on the Avon river. The options are endless.
If you prefer to stay within our premises, you can relax and mingle in our beautiful outdoor courtyard or luxurious lounge. Our bar offers a selection of wines and beers for you to enjoy. Complimentary tea, coffee, cookies, and fresh fruit are also available to enhance your stay and make it more memorable.
The Classic Villa is locally owned and operated, and our excellent hospitality has been recognized with numerous awards, including being listed annually on the Expedia Insiders' Select List since 2009, receiving the 5-Star Qualmark Boutique & Lodge rating from 2006 to 2021, and being awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence from 2011 to 2021.
However, what we are most proud of is our genuine hospitality and commitment to ensuring every guest has a comfortable stay. At The Classic Villa, our boutique accommodation offers a personal touch, from the charming refurbishment to the thoughtfully appointed rooms. We aim to provide genuine service that leaves a lasting impression.
Rated as a Qualmark 5-Star Accommodation and holding a Gold Enviro Award, The Classic Villa invites guests to enjoy our beautiful lounge and outdoor courtyard areas at their leisure. Warm yourself by the fireplace with a glass of wine and embrace the cozy ambiance.
Our prime location near the Arts Centre & Market, Art Gallery, Museum, Botanical Gardens, Cathedral Square, Historic Tram, Punting on the Avon River, Golf Course, Theatres, Restaurants, New Farmer's Market, Terrace Restaurants, Cafes, and Central City Shopping makes The Classic Villa an ideal choice for both short and long-term business and holiday stays.

Reviews of The Classic Villa
"Lovely little hotel with walking distance of central Christchurch, really comfortable and great for our first night in New Zealand. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful, and the continental breakfast was great Highly recommended!"
"We stayed for two night, arriving after a very long flights. The rooms are very nice and quiet. The location is excellent, minutes of walk from most of Christchurch attractions. The breaxfast was good and hosts, Jackie and Steve, are the best. Hopefully we will be able to come back some day."
"A wonderful hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff we had a delightful room (1) with all mod cons clean tidy quiet and comfortable nice breakfast and simply perfect location with all the shops bars and restaurants just a few minutes walk away the perfect location for exploring Christchurch... Both owners a delight and nothing was too much trouble full of intersting local knowledge and info we will both be back soon as we enjoyed our stay that much ...."
"Elegant/stately (and warm) home converted to B&B. Modern baths, classic architecture. The couple hosting guests are also warm and have set up a relaxing and beautiful set of common rooms and a wonderful kitchen/dining area for breakfast. The Classic Villa is located a short walk from an amazing art gallery and several restaurants. Definitely a must-stay if you're coming to (or passing through) Christchurch."
"Wonderful, beautifully restored old building. Very central location right opposite the city tram stop and a very short walk to museum and Botanical Gardens. Rooms well appointed and impeccably clean. Great continental brekky provided as part of the room tariff. Service was outstanding. Cannot fault and will return."
