A place where I met awesome people (honestly, it's weird but I rarely met people I DIDN't get along with), played like over a hundred pool matches and... More

I stayed at the Coachman twice, first right after the arrival in Christchurch and a lousy night sleeping in the airport. Called all backpackers hoping to find one still standing (it was right after the earthquake), and ended up at the Coachman solely based on Manager Nick's joyful voice on the phone ! Checked in for a week, during which... More

When I travelled alone in NZ, I felt much warm here. Thanks for manager JOO JOO ,she gave me a lot help when I got some trouble in NZ. Thanks for night staff Matt . You cheer me up when I felt down.

We stayed in one of their refurbished double rooms along the 1st floor corridor for a few days in November. Good size with enough space for our packs and to 'spill... More
