Drifter Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"A cross between a hostel and hotel. Lots of young and happy travellers with a large hang out lounge/workspace/kitchen area for them. Bed was very comfortable. Excellent location so easy to walk everywhere and a block from the bus station. The bar makes excellent cocktails and the morning breakfast was excellent."

Novotel Christchurch Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel and conveniently located next to the airport if you have an early flight. We had rented a car and the car rental companies was also co-located with the hotel so we just had to drop of the car and walk over to the hotel. The hotel also had a decent restaurant. Our room was well-appointed with all the modern amenities. Despite being located at the airport, it was very quiet in our room."

Christchurch City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is conveniently located within the city center and made it easy to walk to shops and many great restaurants. The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed at the hotel for a few days at the start of our trip and again on our last few days of our trip. We did purchase the breakfast option and what exactly was included seemed to be staff-dependent. During our first stays, we were not told of any restrictions on the breakfast menu. However, on our second stay, we got conflicting information: some of the mornings, the server pointed out which menu items were excluded from our breakfast options, and on another morning, a different staff was serving us and did not express any menu restrictions. The hotel does not have its own parking garage, but does have an agreement with a public parking garage within a short walk from the hotel; you only get charged a fee per exit which is a great deal, especially if you’re not driving everyday. There are only two public parking slots in front of the hotel so you may have to park around the corner and pay when checking in/out."

Frequently asked questions

What are the best hotels in Wigram that travellers recommend?

For a highly recommended hotel in Wigram, consider the Wigram Hotel.

This 4-star hotel, with an impressive 9.2 rating, is praised by guests for its cozy and clean rooms. Visitors frequently mention the helpful and wonderful staff, the excellent meals, and the good on-site restaurant. It offers convenient amenities such as a rainfall showerhead, a deep soaking bathtub, and complimentary parking for RVs, buses, trucks, and self-parking. The hotel is very well located, being just 0.2 km from the Air Force Museum of New Zealand and 1.7 km from Riccarton Park.

When is the best time to go to Wigram?

The best times to visit Wigram are during the shoulder seasons, specifically from March to May (autumn) and September to November (spring), when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

Autumn in Wigram brings mild temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, and the vibrant colours of the changing leaves add to the scenery. This is a great time for outdoor activities, such as exploring the local parks or taking a stroll along the nearby Wigram Skies Linear Park. You'll find it comfortable for visiting the Air Force Museum of New Zealand, which is a major attraction in the area, without the peak summer heat.

Spring offers similar mild conditions, with temperatures usually between 8°C and 18°C, and the added beauty of blooming flowers. It's an excellent time for couples looking for a relaxed trip, as the weather is ideal for enjoying a coffee at one of the local cafes or visiting the nearby Riccarton Sunday Market for local produce and crafts. The lighter crowds mean a more tranquil experience at popular sites.

While summer (December to February) is warm and sunny, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
