From 1874 to 1999 this
was Addington Prison; it's now one of Christchurch's most appealing and friendly hostels.
Private rooms are a bit on the small side - they don't call them cells for nothing.
Arena Motel

;
30 Whiteleigh Ave; d $135-185; )
Within walking distance
of the railway station and the increasingly hip Addington strip, the Arena has tidy modern
units with kitchenettes, ranging in size from studios to two-bedroom apartments.
