Welcome to Base
Voted by backpackers as "best location in the city", base Christchurch is right in the heart of Cathedral Square, offering a variety of rooms with private and shared bathroom facilities. The upmarket, luxury Sanctuary rooms are for girls only, and the Penthouse is an exclusive pad with all the toys including BBQ, TV and Playstation! A friendly, clean place to stay with 24 hour reception and global gossip internet facilities, 2 kitchens, a spacious TV room, dining room & outdoor sundeck with BBQ and a travel shop for enquiries and bookings. The helpful, local staff will ensure you make the most of the "gateway to the South Island" from punting down the Avon River and star gazing to skydiving and jetboating. The hostel is your perfect base for all this and more! Plus, check out the on-site Saints & Sinners Bar for a great night out with Happy Hour Hosts and Live bands.
Hope you have a fantastic stay in the Garden City
