Both buses lead you to University of Canterbury (10 mins), and have stops at Riccarton Westfield Shopping center Metro Station(5 mins), where you can change to the other buses to get to the other location of town and the airport. I've stayed here a few times and will likely stay a few more! My first choice when I'm in Christchurch. Love the location and the rooms are excellent
