Property Description

Steeped in history and situated next to beautiful Hagley Park, Dorset House Christchurch Backpacker Hostel is relaxing, spacious and elegant, and is equipped with all that a traveller could need. Dorset House is set among beautiful gardens and is still steeped in the character of the early Christchurch pioneers. Built in 1871 as the home for the wealthy timber merchant, J B Way, it once featured 27 rooms and three Italian marble fireplaces. It has been lovingly maintained, and is a slice of Christchurch’s past that we are proud to share with our guests. Our rooms are comfortable, freshly cleaned, and bathed in sun. All rooms are within 3-7 metres of a bathroom. There are no bunk beds– all beds are made with fresh linen. We have a sunny kitchen, and there’s a laundry here too.
