Mates at UC Brand-new flats — cross the street, you're on campus

Five brand-new, Homestar 6 rated 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 use significantly less energy than a standard NZ build — saving up to $760/year on power in Christchurch — so your power bill will be lower than a typical student flat.

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 — cross the street and you're 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

/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.

🌡️
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 for NZGBC shows Homestar 6 homes in Christchurch can save up to $760/year on electricity versus a code-minimum home — meaning meaningfully lower power bills every year.
🌡️
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.
