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!

Getting to us

Getting to us

The Airport Bus operates from 7am - 10pm approx. Please ask the Bus driver to indicate the Cambridge Tce / Worcester Street Bus stop and get off at this stop. Walk up 1 block to Hereford Street and turn right. You will find us through the next set of traffic lights on the left hand side - approx 5 min walk from the Bus stop.

They operate a door to door service. As we have 2 hostels in Christchurch please advise you are going to YHA Christchurch on Hereford Street
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.
