130 546 728 90 252 387

We would list Units at 216 Worcester Street, for between $130 and $250 per night during the busy seasons and when special events are on in Christchurch up to $400 per night. We would then expect to get around $90 to $130 per night during the off seasons. Occupancy rates in this area typically fluctuate between 80% and 40% during summer and winter, respectively.
