The Arts Centre Market comes alive with the sights and sounds of artists, musicians, buskers and craftspeople.  Visitors from out of town enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and it is a fantastic place to spend some time especially on a sunny day.

You will find over 80 stalls there with an ever-changing mix of top quality New Zealand-made goods, including jewellery, clothing, woodwork, ceramics, flax and paua work, soaps and glassware and a favourite – Fudge cottage.

The market is a great place to grab something to eat from the Market’s international food fair.  There is live entertainment in the Market Square, along Worcester Boulevard and in the south quad.

The arts centre is set on the old University site in an array of heritage buildings located between Worcester Boulevard and Hereford Street. The back of the Market is opposite the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, on the tram route and just over the road from the Christchurch Museum.

Christchurch Accommodation nearby includes a variety of bed and breakfasts (including quite a few heritage buildings), backpackers and it is close by to a selection of hotels.

When you plan your Christchurch New Zealand Holiday make sure you include some time to have a look at the Arts Centre Markets.

I’m in the process of planning my next visit to New Zealand and I’m considering staying at the Sovereign hotel, Kilmore Street, Christchurch. So far I have found no reviews of this hotel at all so was wondering if anyone has stayed there and has any particularly negative comments to suggest I shouldn’t or maybe you have local knowledge of the hotel. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there,

I live in Christchurch, and I would say thats a fairly decent choice. It is rated as one of the top hotels in the city. Around 50m to Town Hall, convention centre and the casino. Walking distance to famous Cathedral Square, city centre, Botanical Gardens, restaurants and cafes.

15 minutes to the Christchurch Airport and 10 minutes to the railway station. Kilmore St is fairly quiet, it’s fairly close to some main roads, but Christchurch isn’t the busiest city. I would just say be careful at night, we have the highest violence rating in NZ.

I’ve never seen any myself, but I don’t live in the city. I would suggest not going into the city centre alone past 8pm. Don’t let my comments scare you, there’s not gangs or anything, just be wary of it. Otherwise, I think this hotel should be fine, close to everything, looks clean, not the biggest place youv’e ever seen, but should give you a comfortable stay for the price.

I know the Holiday Inn is fairly nice, although it really would be noisy I think. Or the Grand Chancellor, I’ve heard is nice, its opposite the Sovereign. If you want anymore help, you might like to try www.tripadvisor.com its fairly good if you need honest advice on accomadation. Good Luck with your decision, and have a great holiday!

I’ve stayed in several places in CHCH – some were paid for by my UNI and others paid out of pocket. Personally I like staying at the Grange on Armagh Street. The Grange is a B&B in a quaint old house, but I usually stay in the apartments in back. You can get a studio or a one bedroom unit, complete with kitchenette, Sky TV, and wireless internet and it is very reasonable.

The upstairs units have balconies. The location is just about two blocks to the Free City bus service, which loops around the city. I usually walk to New World (grocery) and then catch the bus back when I’ve made my purchases. The Grange is only a few blocks from the city centre, just beyond the gardens, close to Cathedral Square, the Conference Centre, the Art museum, and the Casino.

Of course you’re just minutes away from the shops, cafes, clubs, and bars in the downtown area if you are into shopping or clubbing. I prefer the Grange if I have a choice, because I like being able to cook my own meals instead of having to eat out. Plus it is handy to most of the attractions, and a good central location.

I’ve stayed at the Hotel Grand Chancellor, which I thought was overpriced for the value. Also stayed on Bealey Avenue at several different places. Never again, too noisy with all that traffic. There was a decent place called the Russley Scenic Circle – with rooms that opened into a private courtyard, a swimming pool, good service, etc… but I heard it was being torn down to build a retirement complex.

Check out the Grange bed and breakfast in Christchurch and see what you think. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for…

P.S. If you decide on the Grange, please tell Des and Tracey I sent you =)
