City Laundromat is a self-service, 24-hour laundry business with four locations across Christchurch: Hillmorton, Richmond, Hei Hei (Hornby), and Papanui. Its stated mission is simple — to provide high-quality washing and drying machines that save customers time and money.
Each store uses an EFTPOS/debit/credit card payment system, so there's no need for coins, tokens, or prepaid cards — customers pay only for what they use, just like at any other store. Machines are new, high-quality commercial washers and dryers, including larger units for duvets, blankets, or big loads that would otherwise take multiple loads or hours at home. Customers bring their own laundry detergent and softener.
All four stores are open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and are cleaned daily and monitored by security cameras for a clean, safe environment. Free Wi-Fi is available in-store while customers wait, with connection details posted on the in-store noticeboard.
City Laundromat runs four self-service laundry stores across Christchurch — in Hillmorton, Richmond, Hei Hei (Hornby), and Papanui — built around a simple mission: high-quality washing and drying machines that save customers time and money.
Rather than dealing with coins, tokens, or prepaid cards, City Laundromat uses a straightforward EFTPOS-based payment system. Customers simply tap their Eftpos, debit, or credit card, just like at any other store, and pay only for what they use.
Each store is fitted with new, high-quality commercial washers and dryers, including larger machines designed for duvets, blankets, and bigger loads that would otherwise take multiple loads — or hours — to manage at home. Customers bring their own laundry detergent and fabric softener.
Every City Laundromat location is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, giving customers flexibility to do their laundry whenever suits them. Stores are cleaned daily and monitored by security cameras, aiming to keep the environment clean and safe at any hour. While waiting for a wash or dry cycle, customers can also connect to free Wi-Fi in-store, with connection details posted on the noticeboard.
City Laundromat operates from four Christchurch locations: 7 Halswell Road in Hillmorton (next to Bill's Bar and HillMed Health Centre), 345 Stanmore Road in Richmond (on the corner of North Avon Road), 64 Carmen Road in Hei Hei (opposite Hornby High School), and 18a Main North Road in Papanui (opposite Winston Avenue). Each site follows the same self-service model, so customers can use whichever location is most convenient.
What sets City Laundromat apart is the combination of round-the-clock access, a modern cashless payment system, and machines sized for jobs too big for a home washer — all wrapped in a clean, camera-monitored environment. It's built for anyone needing a reliable, no-fuss laundry option outside normal business hours, or simply somewhere to handle a large wash without the wait.
