48 Creyke Road Live with Your
Mates at UC Brand-new flats — directly opposite the University of Canterbury

Five brand-new flats directly opposite UC — each with 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and everything your group needs. Warm, dry, and a cut above every other student flat in Christchurch. From ~$270/room/week including internet — power to be arranged and paid for by tenants. Homestar 6 homes in Christchurch save up to $760/year on power versus a standard NZ build — and with 6 bedrooms to heat, the savings are likely even higher.

You Can't Get
Closer to UC

Forget the bus. Forget traffic. 48 Creyke Road sits directly across the road from the University of Canterbury main entrance — the most coveted student address in Christchurch.

Everything you need for uni life is within a short walk. The library, student union, rec centre, lecture theatres — all right there. Spend less time commuting and more time living.

And forget the fuel bill. Students living further out typically spend $30–$60/week on petrol or bus fares getting to campus — plus the daily frustration of fighting for a park around UC. From 48 Creyke Road you walk or cycle — that's money straight back in your pocket, every single week of the year.

⛽
Save ~$1,500–$3,000/year on transport
No car needed. No bus pass. No parking fees. No circling the block looking for a park. Walk to lectures in under a minute — it's the closest student flat to UC in Christchurch.

Homestar 6
Rated

6
/10 Homestar
Officially Targeting Homestar

Homestar is New Zealand's independent rating tool for the health, warmth, and efficiency of homes — administered by the NZ Green Building Council. A Homestar 6 means these flats are certified to significantly outperform a standard new NZ build on every measure that matters for daily living.

Most Christchurch student flats are cold, damp, and expensive to heat in winter. These are purpose-built to be the opposite. The combination of above-code insulation, Mitsubishi Lossnay heat recovery ventilation, argon gas double glazing, and seven heat pumps per flat — one in the lounge and one in every bedroom — means warm bedrooms, fresh air, no condensation — and a power bill that won't ruin your week.

Homestar 6 is independently assessed and certified — not self-reported.

Homestar 6 is significantly above the New Zealand Healthy Homes Standard — the legal minimum landlords must meet. These flats aren't just compliant; they're built to a level most rental properties in Christchurch will never reach.

6/10

Zero
Mould, damp or condensation risk
🌡️
High-Performance Insulation
Ceiling, underfloor and wall insulation well above the NZ Building Code minimum — keeps heat in during winter and out in summer, significantly reducing heating costs.
💨
Mitsubishi Lossnay HRV — Fresh Air Without Opening a Window
Continuously supplies fresh filtered air throughout the flat — day and night, winter and summer — without needing to open a window. Recovers up to 80% of heat from outgoing air so you stay warm. No damp, no mould, no stale air.
🔥
7× Heat Pumps Per Flat
1× heat pump in the lounge plus 1× heat pump in every bedroom — so every person controls their own temperature. No fighting over the thermostat, no cold bedrooms. Up to 4× more efficient than resistive heating.
🔆
Double-Glazed Argon & Low-E
Reduces heat loss, eliminates condensation, and cuts outside noise throughout.
🏥
Health & Wellbeing
Assessed for air quality, moisture control and daylight — the factors most linked to sleep and study.
💡
Lower Energy Bills
Infometrics research (NZGBC, May 2025) shows Homestar 6 homes in Christchurch save up to $760/year on electricity versus a code-minimum home. That figure is based on a standard NZ home — with 6 bedrooms to heat, the savings for your flat are likely even higher.
🌡️
Stays Warm Without the Effort
The building envelope is designed to maintain 18°C+ in winter without cranking the heating — the WHO's recommended minimum for healthy living.
