How Did the 22 February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake affect Accommodation in the City?

Christchurch NZ Accom — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 14:39:04 +0000

The magnitude 6.3 on the Richter scale earthquake on 22 February 2011 means Christchurch, New Zealand accommodation has changed forever!

Stonehurst Backpackers

The centre of the Christchurch Central Business District (CBD) is still currently closed to the public. Even business owners are not allowed into the area for safety reasons. Rescue recovery work is continuing. The death toll is currently 166.

I understand that a percentage of accommodation in the area will need to be demolished. Most of the accommodation that is affected is hotel accommodation, backpackers and bed and breakfast style accommodation.

There is still a large amount of accommodation to the north and west of the city that only had minimal damage and more accommodation that is unaffected. To really understand this you need to realize that although the earthquake and aftershocks were felt widely, most of the damage was in the CBD, on the hills and to the east of the city.

My own home received significant damage inside yet we moved to a place five minutes away for a few nights and I was amazed at how little you felt the aftershocks there in comparison with our home. Listening to locals I have also learned that people in some parts of the city had no idea of the damage at first as the 6.3 aftershock seemed just like another mild shock.

Contact us at info@christchurchnewzealandaccommodation.com if there is any Christchurch accommodation property you would particularly like feedback on, send us a message and we will do our best to find out for you exactly what is happening.

Christchurch X Base Hostel

Christchurch NZ Accom — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:00:59 +0000

If you are looking for Christchurch New Zealand accommodation of the backpacker’s variety, then X Base hostel is one that you should consider.

The Christchurch X Base hostel is situated right in Cathedral Square, the centre of Christchurch city. It is convenient for shops, cafes and with an airport bus stopping right outside the door, great for global travellers.

I went and asked for a tour of Base Christchurch to gain an idea of what it would be like to stay there. The Base is in an older building that has been converted well with the usual nooks and crannies to give it some personality.

When I went there it was the coldest time of year and not a particularly nice day so it did seem a bit dull. However, in my opinion the Base is better than a lot a backpacker’s.

The Base has a penthouse accommodation that is well set up for groups.

One thing that appealed to me was the Sanctuary, an exclusive girl’s only multi-share dorms area. The area even smelt different – more girly!

I approached a tourist from Europe and asked her to give me a rating. She did say that she could not compare with the Christchurch hostels and this was based on her hostel experiences overall. She gave it a 6/10.

This Christchurch backpacker’s has a variety of accommodation with multi-share dorms, private and family rooms available. There are communal areas with well-equipped kitchen, laundry and chill out zones.

There is a good sized computer room with high speed Internet facilities and web cams available. Sky TV is available in two TV rooms.

Base Christchurch is part of a chain of hostels throughout New Zealand and Australia. You can go Base jumping around New Zealand, by purchasing a Base jumping package for 10 nights with the eleventh night free.

When you stay at the Base hostels, the cost of your bed includes one free drink in the bar, for each night you stay. All Base hostels have bars and entertainment facilities. These hostels will really suit those who like to party.

Size of Establishment – 280 beds
Most Suitable for – Party goers
Would I stay there – Yes
Guest Rating – 6/10
Position – Very central
Reception is open 24 hours
