About Happylume
A boutique hotel with a soft South Island light.
Happylume is a small, independent stay on Suva Street in Upper Riccarton — made for guests who prefer quiet rooms, natural materials, and a considered welcome.
Why we are here.
Christchurch has space for a slower kind of hotel: not a stage set, not a nightclub, just a well-kept house where the linen is right and the morning is unhurried. We keep the guest list to adults 18 and over so the house stays calm.
The address is exact: 35 Suva Street, Upper Riccarton, Christchurch 8041. Walkable for everyday errands, with Hagley Park and the city side within reach when you want to go further.
Quiet
Rooms shaped for rest — timber, wool, and light rather than noise.
Local
An Upper Riccarton pocket, not a generic airport strip.
Considered
Breakfast, evening kitchen, and a small wellness corner under one roof.
18+
An adults-only house. We ask guests to stay and play responsibly.
