An exposed wire on the electrical cord for the in house coffee making machine was not noticed by cleaning staff but we saw it immediately when wanting to make a coffee, but luckily, the whole coffee making machine was quickly replaced by management.
The toilet seat was misaligned to almost being broken in the Peacock suite.
The bathroom shower leaked at the door with water making both the bathrooms floor mat sodden, and also a potential slip on the wet tiles.

Refurbished to high standard, beautiful old hotel

We felt really comfortable here because the owner/managers were helpful, welcoming, lovely people. The hotel looks old and stylish and it is refurbished to a high standard. We chose a room with a jacuzzi bath which was great. It’s situated near the main road but we didn’t find it loud inside our room. Facilities for food prep were useful and we made our own breakfast and light lunch. There are great cafes and restaurants very nearby too, great quality and budget prices. There is a good shopping mall less than five minutes walk away too.
It’s in a great location for the city centre too - a 20 minute walk there and a cheap eleven dollar Uber back again will make you feel good. There’s loads to see and enjoy in the centre. Christchurch was are favourite city of all NZ cities.

Couldn’t fault this place on anything. Wayne checked us in and was very helpful with advice on things to do and how best to get there. While Merivale is a very nice suburb with supermarkets and places to eat very close by, it is still a decent 20-30min walk into the city centre. It didn’t bother us at all as we had a car.

A little disappointing.

Neat and tidy small room. Although a stovetop was available we were told that you could not cook in the room as it created smells. When we complained we were provided with a frypan but asked to leave the windows and door open if we used it. The room had a view of the main road and it was very noisy. The hosts were friendly.

Fantastic place, nice location, great owners!

The hotel is near Hagley Park: great Botanical Garden and perfect for a walk or jog. Nearby the apartments were supermarkets, ATM's, Cafe Metro, Bridgettes (sp?) and Tuto Bene Italian restaurants among other convenient places to visit. Wayne and Karen are great hosts and make you feel welcome right away, great people! The apartments are very practical and functioned perfectly. The apartment has three levels, but since we are in our 50's and in relatively good shape, it was not a problem to go up and down the stairs. The washer and dryer were extremely helpful since we had a lot of laundry! If you desire privacy, comfort, and convenience, we recommend these apartments! There is not a phone in the apartment to call the office, but if you walk to the reception, the owners were always there to assist you. Edgard and Maria Alice

We had the room closest to Papanui Road,

We felt like the traffic was driving through our door. We got no sleep. Apart from this and the room being a little smelly from what I don’t know it was ok.

Great size for a family

Great size unit, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms over 3 levels. Decor and furnishings were nice. Parking was a bit tricky. A pity there was no Sky channel for sport. Location is good and a minute walk to a nice cafe.

Perfect Place

We loved our reception.... very friendly and informative. The apartment had everything we needed including toast for the morning .
We returned two days later after the Tranz Rail to the West Coast and back and were accomodated in the Manor -- beautiful room , private and very comfortable.

Can't recommend the Merivale Manor highly enough---the only place to stay in Christchurch

Great place to stay

Great place to stay, being close to the city and a central location. Plenty of restaurants and shops around, with great recommendations from the owners. Friendly staff and a community vibe. A genuine kiwi experience - fun, friendly and easy.

Great Location and Spacious Room

I really enjoyed my stay at Merivale Manor. The location was great; Well within walking distance of great restaurants as well as the Hagley Park and Botanical Gardens. The fact that the Manor has free laundry services for guests was an unexpected bonus. Everyone of the staff members that I encountered were eager to answer any questions about the area and even help me pick out a restaurant to try. I would gladly stay here again the next time that I travel back to Christchurch, New Zealand! I highly recommend the Merivale Manor.

A Thoughtful & Comfortable Lodging Place

This is an extremely well maintained and charming, historic property with warm and welcoming hosts. The location is perfect, being convenient to the city center and the airport. It is in a lovely and active suburb of the city and we would highly recommend booking this sight for your holiday stay. Thank you for your warm hospitality, Karen & Wayne!

Very noisy !!

Very noisy room.
Before booking this hotel, don't forget to look at a map !
It is situated along one of the main road in Christchurch and there is a bus stop just in front of it !!!
The bedroom is nice .... but the bed is so unconfortable !!!

Comfortable room and friendly staf.

Our room was very comfortable and Brian was very helpful. Recommended a great Italian restaurant within walking distance. We were in a unit at the street. Try to get a unit further from the street. With the windows closed, we had no trouble sleeping but we usually like t have windows open.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, but awfully noisy

As much as the studio rooms are comfortable, setup for long stay with all basic kitchen appliances, their location right on the main road means that at any hour of the day/night, traffic makes it very noisy ... not great if you want to have a quiet night sleep
