Eco Villa

Friendly welcome at a great stop over in Christchurch. Nothing to not recommend here.

This is a beautiful, eco focused hotel with loads of nice little extras, great rooms and a really nice garden space. The bathroom was shared between us and one other room which was not a problem at all.

I really liked everything about the place except that the bathroom was not ensuite and required traipsing across the hallway outside the kitchen. Owners and staff were great, room was nice, beds comfortable and table tennis table was a godsend because there were no tvs in the room or lounge etc - which would be a welcome addition because staying in hotels can be very boring and you dont always want to feel you have to go out (and spend yet more money on entertainment)!

We loved staying at this B&B. We loved the eco aspect of the place, the bikes that were available (although we didn't use them) and a lovely and comfortable room. Beds were very comfortable. We had a shared bathroom but it was large and clean with eco-toiletries and it was always available when we needed it. It's a short walk to the cathedral area of CHC, with restaurants, museums and the trolley. It felt like home coming back after a sightseeing day. Breakfast was good--homemade yogurt from coconut milk, good muesli and toast. Great fruit and jams. A healthy and delicious continental breakfast (cost extra). Kitchen was available to cook in if you wanted. Taxi service to the train station was especially easy since the B&B is connected to the taxi database-all you had to do was call and give a time. In short, I would book this B&B if I ever go back to Christchurch.

The Eco Villa was a wonderful place to stay, with an edible garden, outdoor baths, beautiful upcycled furnishings and homemade almond milk and organic soya milk for teas and coffees - we would definitely choose to stay here again. The Villa was absolutely spotless, very comfortable and sustainable luxury.

Adorable property with very friendly staff that is a quick walk away from a shopping district. Room was a little snug for our large luggage and right next to the communal area, so you can always hear other guests chatting outside. Besides that though, cute place and great communal patio and kitchen!

We had a great evening at Eco Villa. Fantastic central location, very welcoming couple, clean and comfortable room, edible garden was very cool. Hosts gave us some good tips on where to go and Hertford St is so central we could walk everywhere. Would recommend highly

I cannot recommend Eco Villa enough. I have stayed in at least 50 places around the world in the past 12 months and this is the only review I was eager to give. Evan and Nisha are fantastic hosts, the building has old-school charm but has been completely modernized with incredible attention to detail. The garden and common areas are cozy and the kitchen is AMAZING with clean lines, modern appliances, and a sincere but unobtrusive emphasis on supporting sustainable environmental practices and economic use of resources without sacrificing convenience. The dish washer runs in 2 MINUTES and uses only 2.6 liters of water :-D. The wi-fi also works flawlessly. I would 100% stay here again and will thoroughly recommend it to any friends passing through Christchurch. The hotels.com photos and star rating do not come close to doing this fantastic place justice.
