We are now staying in Christchurch while waiting for our working holiday maker visa extension to be approved.
We are staying in a pretty cheap motel called City Court Motel at the central of Christchurch city. It costs NZD20 per night for backpackers. If you are a backpacker, you can try stay to here, a very strategic place, near to Catheral Square, shops, casino and supermarkets.
Since we will be staying here until we get out visa extension approval, we do get some free nights. Stay 6 nights and the 7th night is free. We also get free wireless Internet access and free laundry. The motel rooms are clean and nice.
The host, Pinkey, is very nice to us. She helps a lot during our visa extension. She also helps other backpackers and working holidaymakers to find their jobs and also share knowledge about local information.
If you want to stay here too, you can contact Pinkey at 0210432990 or pay a visit to the motel at 850 Colombo St, (Cnr Salisbury St), Christchurch.
Cheers.
