Canterbury DHB  operates a whānau-family accommodation facility for eligible family members, supporting a whānau member using services at Christchurch Hospital. 

This four-bedroom residence is within walking distance (8 to 10 minutes) of Christchurch and Christchurch Women's Hospitals. There are four lockable bedrooms of varying sizes named after native trees—Kauri, Tōtara, Kōwhai and Tī Kōuka.

There is a cost for those eligible to stay at Te Whare Mahana although some people may be eligible for funded accommodation. If you have any questions about this facility please speak to your social worker or Māori health worker.
