Vagabond Backpackers: FIRST EXPERIENCE

  • I was greeted by Lynn our friendly host when I arrived that afternoon. I was lucky to reserve a double room via internet before I left home since it was difficult to get a room in New Zealand during summer.

    Our room located in a lovely garden in the back yard of the charming main building. It was a clean and comfortable and for NZ$48/night, it worth the money.

    In the morning Lynn served a free home-made bread in the communal kitchen. There were also tea/coffee but we had to prepare by ourself.

    It was my first experience stayed in hostel and I was glad I stayed in Vagabond.

    Fully bed and breakfast hotel. Run by this very nice lady who will orientate you upon your arrival. Breakfast is the typical english type. Bed's very comfy and toilets are shared and very cleaned. Towels are provided daily and regular room cleaning service too. 24 hour coffee and tea supply. TV common lounge.

    The lady owner ensured I got a breakie pack before I left for the airport at 5am in the morning. How sweet she is!

    Windsor Hotel: Both Thumbs Up - I Loved This Place!

  • I love this place! I am traveling round-the-world and have stayed in everything from real dumps to 5 star resorts and the Windsor was one of my favorite places. Great management/staff. A complete and personalized tour of the entire place upon arrival. Spotless rooms, and the shared bathrooms were not too onerous because separate washbasin, shower, bath, and toilet rooms (also spotless) are lined up down the hall just across from the rooms. There's even a fluffy robe provided so you don't have to get dressed for middle-of-the-night bathroom visits. The common lounge is cozy and very comfortable, whether you're just vegging in front of the TV or surfing the Internet. I struck up interesting conversations with fellow guests here each night. Windsor serves a great breakfast that included, in addition to regular breakfast fare, fresh fruit, granola and oatmeal that suited my vegetarian tastes. On the day I left I had an early morning flight and could not make the breakfast, so they made me an incredible snack pack for the flight. Windsor Hotel is ideally located in the city center ( just three or four blocks to Cathedral Square) and, even better, it is affordably priced.

    It was spotlessly clean and I was made to feel like family from the moment I set foot inside the hotel.

    unit 4/155 Peterborough Street, Christchurch: Did not honour my confirmed booking

  • Deal with the current owner of this property (Daniel / WET SEAL) at your own risk!

    I had confirmed bookings for 2 short stays. When I contacted the owner the month prior to the stay, response I received was ...

    "I have been asked by my employer who owns the above property to inform you that due to the property going on the market they can no longer accept March bookings".

    ... hmmm ... why had I not been informed immediately?

    ... hmmm ... interesting that web sites indicate there is availability in March, including one of the periods I had booked. The other period showed as booked for a much longer period than my original booking.

    ... hmmm ... also interesting that this email came from a personal email address rather than the owner's business (WET SEAL) that had been used for all other correspondence.

    ... hmmm ... very interesting that a new booking request under another name including the second period I had booked received a response (from WET SEAL) indicating that the unit was available. ... hmmm ... very disappointing that I received no responses to my emails asking when the property went on sale & why I had not been notified that my booking could not (???) be honoured.

    Draw you own conclusions from this, but as indicated above ... Deal with this owner at your own risk.
