Yes! We are ★OPEN★ from the 22nd Feb 2011 earthquake.

But we close NZtime 8pm every night.

A lot of single rooms are avilable at this season with very reasonable rate.(NZ$34-36)

We come and pick you up from the City Center (bus stops, late afternoon only), just ring us when you arrived at Christchurch.

If you arrive at the Airport, there are a lot of 'Airport shuttle bus'. (note: we open 8am-8pm, you can check in from 8am, but rooms are not ready till mid day)

We are the only unique accommodation in New Zealand, you can stay for 1 night to few weeks or even a few months.
Longer you stay, cheaper you pay. Our weekly rates are more like flatting rates.

Directions

We are situated on 373 Gloucester Street , 1.5km east from the Cathedral Square. Kiwi House is just after Fitzgerald Ave.(a 6 car lane avenue) on the left hand side of the road when coming from the city centre.

Our latest check- in time is 7pm. Please make sure your flight arrival time at Christchurch airport.

*from airport : Taking shuttle bus is the best way to get to Kiwi House.
They are always just outside of international arrival terminal. (around half price of taxis) They will drop you off right in front of Kiwi House.

*from rail way station : Shuttle buses are there too. Just $5 to Kiwi House.

*We are around 15 minutes walk from the city centre. Despite the relatively close proximity to Cathedral Square (1.5kms from both locations) Kiwi House is in a residential area. This means that the cheaper transport options from the airport do not come directly to the door and require a bit of a walk. Because we know it is never fun to lug your luggage after a long flight, we suggest you either come directly via a shuttle from the airport, taxi from the inner city, or call us once you have arrived at Cathedral Square and we will endeavour to come and pick you up. (we can come and pick you up between the hours 11am-7pm, depending on how busy we are.
