Welcome to The Old Countryhouse - a multi award winning backpackers hostel in Christchurch created by travellers for travellers. It is a great place to
base yourself for your stay in Christchurch. Take the time to rest, relax and rejuvenate with us during your journey around the world or New Zealand.
We are a small backpackers hostel in Christchurch with plenty of space and a family atmosphere. Walk through the garden gate and you will be greeted by tranquil
gardens and winding paths leading to our beautiful colonial villas. Each house has been lovingly restored and refurbished to provide you with comfortable budget accommodation.
Pop across the road to buy takeaways or food to cook a meal in our large well equipped kitchens. Or if you want to eat out, we are only 1500m from
Cathedral Square in the heart of Christchurch's shopping and restaurant district. Walk along flat tree-lined suburban streets past the picturesque Latimer Square or catch a public bus from outside our door. If
you have a car, there is plenty of room to park outside the hostel for free. We also provide secure onsite cycle parking. Butique Backpacker, Youth Hostel

We have been busy again this Summer and our guests enjoyed this newly added touch of luxury to your backpacking experience. Watch our HD movie to see how the Spa Pool and Sauna area has
