I loved my stay at YHA Christchurch. It was clean, comfortable and very conveniently located in the CBD to everything I wanted to see. I have already recommended it to friends still traveling in New Zealand. Well done!

Car: Christchurch is busy repairing and rebuilding our city as a result of the 2010 / 2011 Earthquakes. This means that road closures and detours are very common. Download the YHA New Zealand travel app from the iTunes app store or on Google Play for Android phones to keep updated and find the easiest way to our hostel.
Rail: The Train Station is approx 3km from YHA Christchurch. Shuttle Buses meet the services and are the preferred choice to get you to the city center as they charge a set rate per person.
