CentrePoint on Colombo Motel

CentrePoint on Colombo Motel is a Qualmark 4-Star Plus motel at 859 Colombo Street, Christchurch, on the northern edge of the central city.

Accommodation

Units are fitted with air conditioning and heating, king or super king beds, LCD TV with Sky and a DVD player, a security safe, blackout curtains and a kitchenette with microwave. Spa baths are available in some units. All units are smoke free, and free wireless internet is provided.

Free car parking is available on site — worth noting for a property this close to the CBD, where parking is otherwise a cost and a constraint.

Location and MICE relevance

The motel is roughly 800 m from Cathedral Square and around a five-minute walk to Christchurch Casino and Southern Cross Hospital. The Botanic Gardens are about 20 minutes on foot, and Christchurch International Airport is approximately 20 minutes by car.

For event organisers, the appeal is walkability: delegates can reach central-city conference venues, restaurants and after-hours activity without needing transport, while still having off-street parking and kitchenette facilities. The property is listed as accommodation rather than a conference venue; for meeting and event space in the city, see Christchurch venues.
