BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent
"Ideally located for easy walking or getting the buses or tram, restaurants and sights, Breakfree was a great choice for my short stay in Christchurch. Staff really helpful, great initiative to skip the room clean and the bar/restaurant in foyer to have a drink/meal after a long day exploring"
