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
