I am trying to find 2 or 3 bedroom self contained apartment accommodation in
Christchurch for approx 6 days next September but am having trouble finding
anything suitable via the internet.

Can someone recommend anything or even a suitable website to search with.

Is there any reason you need a self-contained apartment? I don't know if you
know it but most newer motels in NZ are like small apartments with all
kitchen facilities and well apointed bathrooms. Some newer motels have
larger three-bedroom units and most have nice two bedroom ones. I often use
them for my family including three kids. Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Nigel,

That is exactly what I am seeking for our family of 2 adults and three
children. Do you use web searches to find suitable accommodation? .... if
so, can you advise which sites please.

Any search engine using accommodation Christchurch New Zealand should
bring you urls.

?Durham that was turned into apartments, do they still have serviced
apartments available?

You mean the old primary school (Montreal St)? - to the best of my knowledge
these are all private apartments. However now that you mention old
buildings there is also "Peterborough" - the old Teachers' College on the
cnr of Montreal & Peterborough and I never thought of the Heritage
Apartments right in Cathedral Square - that was the old Government Offices
"behind" the Cathedral. They are now a mix of privately occupied & serviced
apartments run in conjunction with the adjoining Heritage Hotel. I'll see
what I can find on Google about them

The Heritage Apartments can be found at

There seem to be a couple of privately operated apartments in the
Peterborough Apartments but I can't find any in the old school in Cranmer
Square. My search did bring up more options than I had ever thought of (for
the original poster) including Chateau blanc also on the Cnr of Cranmer
Square & Montreal St and the fabulous new Clearwater (golfing) Resort out
near the airport.
