A great location 30 minutes walk from city centre through Hagley Park. Ideal for anybody visiting for cricket. Also just 15NZD per person for a more than adequate breakfast, which will be delivered to the room the evening before.

The property at the Golden Star was clean and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was as advertised. It would be nice to see the addition of a streaming service like Netflix, in addition to the basic Sky TV. Thank you...
