Home from home

We were in NZ for 6 weeks and we needed a base and the Pumphouse was the perfect location. We did a lot of travelling and always felt we had come home when we returned to the Pumphouse. Helen and Les went above and beyond to make us feel welcome including our daughter, who lives in Christchurch, came to visit us.

Pumphouse Apartment - Bishopdale, Christchurch

The accommodation was perfect for my stay in Christchurch with all of the amenities fully available at the apartment. Helen was a brilliant host and made sure that my four days in Christchurch were enjoyable. I would recommend The Pumphouse Apartment to any guest who is looking to visit Christchurch and is looking for friendly holiday accommodation near to the airport on the outskirts of the city.

The Pumphouse Christchurch

I loved my stay at the pumphouse. It was ideal for many reasons, close to facilities, close to the airport, close to tourism attractions and places of interest, and also shops and transport. Parking was easy, and the pumphouse was well maintained, well stocked, cosy and warm and facilities were first rate. Helen was welcoming and friendly and I've given high rating as I'd definitely look to stay there again next time I'm in Christchurch.
