AMAZING LOCATION TO STAY!! I LOVED IT! <3 ”

I absolutely loved it! I inquired at the front desk the price to purchase the 3-bed apartment with loft that I rented, because I was that impressed with it. I was sadly told they are no longer on the market for sale, as of two months prior to my stay. If that changes I welcome Southwark Apartments management to contact me directly! :) I would definitely recommend a stay at Southwark Apartments!!! I will definitely stay there again, any time I am in CBD, Christchurch!! The location is ideal for various different restaurants, and night life. There were multiple clubs, bars and restaurants nearby and it is very close to the bus station, for quick access everywhere. - Dee

Clean and conveniently located within walking distance city center”

Stayed in Christchurch for our last night in New Zealand. Stumbled upon southwark apartments while searching for accommodation in the city. It is one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed although quite compact the room features are your essentials. Could do with better sound insulation it's never nice to be woken up but someone else's baby crying at 6am. Other notable features are fast free internet and the best tv I've ever used outside my own home even compared to luxury hotels.

Location, value-for-money”

The apartment is situated in a great location, only 5 to 7 mins walk from the central bus exchange, which made getting to/fro airport, Riccarton or the outskirts of the city really convenient! It's a pretty quiet area for a solo female traveller, but then again Christchurch city seems quiet in general. It's easy to walk to all the attractions in the city (Cathedral Sq, Re:start mall, Transitional Cathedral, 185 chairs, etc.), so spend a day venturing all over the city, it's a highly manageable walk. Facilities in apartment were great for the low price I paid - great value for money in my opinion. I had everything I needed in my room, even a kitchenette with microwave, sink, kettle and fridge. On my floor (2nd floor), there was a laundry facility just down the hallway with both washer and dryer at a cost of NZD2 per wash/dry. Worked perfectly so no complaints there! Staff at reception was helpful and friendly, they took the time to explain the city map to me and to give some personal recommendations. Overall I enjoyed my stay, the location was great and it was great value-for-money. Quite a few restaurants / cafe (Black Betty, C1 Espresso) near the apartment, Countdown (supermarket) also an easy 5 mins walk away for groceries! Would definitely recommend this apartment to others!

We Loved Our Stay at Southwark Apartment”

All was okay, the rooms were clean and new, hallways are wide. The area was quiet so it was okay. It is near bus stops, near the shopping center, and a 5 minute walk to CHCH Central Bus exchange. Restaurants and bars are nearby also. Staff was always responsive whenever we email or call to request for something. Value for money and we will certainly stay at Southwark Apartments when we comeback to Christchurch.

Nice accommodation ”

Located in Christchurch Central area. 20mins shuttle bus from the airport. Just tell the driver they can get you right in front of the apartment. Just stayed a night in Southwark Apartment. Cozy and clean. Everything is good except the reception called me at 2am, asked me to move my car, however I don’t have a car with me.They called the wrong room number.

Most value for money!”

Great location that's a 3-5 min drive away from the town centre. Staff were very friendly and approachable. Laundry can be done, small kitchenette was useful. Layout and amenities within room was very well thought through. They even have Netflix subscription if you need some entertainment. Our stay at Southwark was by far the most value for money and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommen this accommodation if you're in Christchurch.

Perfect room, perfect location!”

I love everything about this apartment as it is new and modern, clean, generous supplies of tea, coffee inclusive with basic eletrical items & kitchen utencils and we feel like home! The location is in CBD, there are lots of shops, restaurants nearby and South city mall is within walking distance too. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommended compact studio or Queen studio! Kudos to the warm & friendly staff who also gave us tips on where to go and eat in Christchurch.

Stylish chic apartment in city centre”

Apartment is located in the heart of Christchurch, supermarkets are in walking distance. Room is cosy, well-equipped for private cooking session. However do note that parking is limited, you need to pre-book as there are only 10-12 lots at a chargeable amount. My partner & I didn’t know about this and had to park our car in a nearby public carpark instead. Other than parking, apartment has lift for easy access with heavy luggage. Great for small groups traveling.

Slightly disappointed”

I was travelling through NZ South Island with my Mum and Auntie, and Christchurch was our last stop on the way. We had driven for hours when we finally arrived at Southwark and we were disappointed that we had to carry out suitcases up through a narrow stairway in order to get to the room. In addition we had to park our car on the street because they didn't have enough parking space to accommodate every apartment. The reception were not super helpful in this sense either. Didn't offer much advice. The room itself was very nice - simple but a good design and clean. I would probably stay here again if I didn't have a car. Had a great selection of recommendations on where to go for food/shopping in the area. Overall pretty happy but slightly disappointed in the parking issue.

Fantastic apartments”

Brand new, very modern 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious, with a loft and 2 great bathrooms - nice living area. We only needed a one night stay at end of tour and booked because the price was unbelievably cheap, but for any length stay in Christchurch for a family of group - look no further, would return here in a heartbeat. Great wifi, close to supermarket and short walk to Town Centre. Staff happily organised us an airport shuttle.

Clean and modern”

I booked the compact double without really thinking about there being two of us... Thankfully, the lovely lady accepting our booking kindly upgraded us to a Superior Queen room - which was much appreciated! I didn't end up seeing the compact double - but the Queen room was perfect for what we needed. It had a small kitchenette and a comfortable bed with a flatscreen smart tv on the wall. Bathroom was small but really practical (and a good shower). There is a great little coffee shop behind (Unknown chapter), which was handy. Internet was free and worked well. I pre-booked parking (which is a must - as this is quite limited) - it was $10 per night. We walked all over Christchurch from there, rather than driving - which seemed to make more sense than driving! Perfect for what we needed - and would recommend this place for others. Also a good price - which would be hard to beat.

Value for Money”

The room is clean and comfortable. Design is nice. Only thing I could complain about is that construction and renovations are going on in and around the apartment. Staff are friendly, supermarkets are nearby, and the rooms and facilities are really great, especially when it comes with free WiFi as well. Will stay there again, if I ever go to Christchurch again.

Excellent accomodation”

Excellent accommodation was great, right around the block from a good bar/pub however Christchurch itself was less than I expected, there is little to do, the cbd is a ruin and I found myself spending nights in my room which I had planned to spend out but that's okay, it is no reflection on the Southwark apartments

Clean, chic, spacious and well-equipped”

Stayed in the two-bedroom executive apartment for two nights after touching down in Christchurch. Apartment was comfortable, well-equipped and pretty near the bus interchange at Lichfield. There's also a supermarket nearby, "Pak and Save", which sold cheap groceries. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay

Closely Located to FOOD!!!”

We arrived in Christchurch on a rainy morning, hence it was really comforting to know that our accommodation is well-located to food sources (i.e. Unknown Chapter Coffee Roasters & The Little High). Our first room was functional, while we got an upgrade for our second room, which gave us more space. But if you just need your room as a crash pad (and most of the time you will be out of the room), it is well-located and the tourist attractions are well within walking distance of 30 minutes (and furthest being the Transitional Cathedral). Would recommend this place for a quick & convenient stay :)

Great Location”

What a great apartment in CBD of Christchurch, easy walking to city centre plenty of restaurants and bars near by, clean and tidy rooms would recommend highly

Good value, on the edge of the CBD”

Convenient for supermarkets and within walking distance of the main Christchurch attractions. Well set-up with a communal kitchen & lounge in addition to in-room facilities. The only minor negative was that the bed was up against a wall so one person has to climb over the other if needing to get up in the night. Overall good value and we’d definitely stay there again.

Excellent”

South wark Apartments @ Christchurch are clean and awesome but i have very serious concern with their receptionists both. i had very bad experience with receptionists (Both). They took 200 NZ $ as a security despite while checking out they refused to return security deposit then i seek help from local police due to this i recovered my money....All tourists are advised to be careful regarding that while making booking...They will not return you it easily. Kind regards, Islah Uddin Solo Traveller

Value for money”

Short business trip, apartment was small but had everything I required including complimentary wifi. Just around the corner from a major supermarket and the best cafe in Christchurch- Black Betty.
