We are sometimes asked to recommend accommodation close to the Cathedral. The list below shows accommodation in the relatively cheap range. There are other, more expensive, hotels within 10-15 minutes of the Cathedral and other, relatively cheap, hotels 20 minutes walk or more away. Prices shown are from booking.co.nz on 27th May 2015. Both booking.co.nz and expedia.co.nz show the location of hotels on maps. The Cathedral is at the corner of Molesworth Street and Hill Street.

If pressed we would recommend The Thorndon Hotel as hotel accommodation and the Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers as budget accommodation.
