With the "best location in the city", Base Christchurch is right in the heart of Cathedral Square. We are minutes walk from everywhere, packed with cafes, bars and boutiques, the Cathedral, Museum, Arts Centre and Tramway tours. Base Christchurch is your key to all the fun that the beautiful Garden City offers - superior facilities, fun communal areas with friendly, local staff members. We offer a variety of rooms with fully made beds featuring either private or shared bathroom facilities. Girls, why not stay in the luxury Sanctuary rooms for girls only or the Penthouse, a floor with BBQ, TV and Playstation! Great for groups as well. Make the most of the "gateway to the South Island" from punting down the Avon River and star gazing to skydiving and jet boating. Plus, check out our on-site Saints & Sinners Bar for a great night out, with awesome specials and live bands!
