Stronechrubie

Christchurch & Canterbury


This motel complex offers comfortable chalets overlooking bird-filled gardens (doubles $140 to $160), but it's the up-and-coming culinary hub that's the main draw here. Enjoy a more formal meal in the lauded, long-standing restaurant, or head to the flash bar and bistro for modern, tapas-style fare alongside lovely wines and craft beer. Reservations recommended.
