Rough Guide "A jail as recently as 1999, this Victorian Gothic prison has been imaginatively turned into an atmospheric hostel with mostly double and twin-bunk rooms... Located almost 2km southwest of the Square."
Fodor's "Its email address is [email protected], and certainly staying in an historic jail has a novelty factor, but this offers much more than that." Full review

"Twins and doubles are a bit on the small side... but it’s still an exceptionally well run and friendly spot. The surrounding Addington area has good cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues." Full review

Fodor's "This old country house is actually three colorful, restored villas with polished wooden floors and handmade, native-wood furniture... It's a 15-minute walk from town but you can take the bus."
Rough Guide "One of Christchurch’s most peaceful hostels, fashioned from a couple of wood-floored villas with bold decor and spacious dorms. A 15min walk east of the Square."
Lonely Planet "Features two separate villas with handmade wooden furniture... Slightly further out than other hostels, but still only 1km east of Latimer Sq." Full review
