We have put together a list of hotels and motels in Christchurch that are close to the conference venue.
We have also managed to secure for out of town delegates a special tariff at the following Motels. Please ensure that when you are making your booking that you specify you are attending the National Homebirth Conference.
Our venue offers marae-style sleeping
arrangements for up to 39 people at a price of $25
per person per night. Each person is provided with a
mattress, fitted sheet and pillow case (there are a
small number of pillows on site but we recommend
that you bring your own). There are two spaces
available for sleeping (one of which has no curtains/
blinds). There is a full commercial kitchen and
bathroom facilities (including 2 showers one in each
the men’s and women’s toilets). Each person will
need to provide their own sleeping bag and pillow. A
basic breakfast will be provided but if you have any
special requirements you are invited to bring these
with you.

Please arrange your own transport to and from the conference venue. If there are several delegates staying at the same venue off-site a shuttle may be coordinated closer to the time. Christchurch runs a comprehensive public bus transport service. The number 10 bus runs every half hour from the airport to within a 5 minute walk from the venue, and then on into the city centre. An adult bus fare costs $2.80, a child $1.40 and under fives travel for free.
Food for Saturday lunch, dinner and Sunday lunch will be prepared by the Lotus Heart vegetarian restaurant. They provide very tasty, wholesome food. An example of their menu can be viewed on their website. Morning and afternoon teas will be a variety of baking and fruit. Cost of food at conference is included in the ticket price.
