We enjoyed the comfy bed and found the room clean and tidy. The lady at the desk was really nice. Wifi was cheap. It's location was good - about 10mins walk to CBD. Not that it helps to be close to the CBD any more since the earthquake. There is a really nice cafe on the corner nearby - excellent... More

It's very handy for getting off the intercity bus, ideal not having to walk far with a case. The room was ok, nothing special but a bit dark I felt. The bed was comfy although I found two small black ants on the sheets. I don't know if this was because the room was on the ground floor with patio... More

This was my last day/night with my partner in NZ. We stayed at some really lovely places and some average...this was the WORST! The motel is not well kept and looks run down. It does look like they are touching a few things up to make it more modern but it still looks delapidated. I lay down on the bed... More

We had a good stay here. While the rooms are basic, they have everything you could possibly need and were very clean. The staff were very friendly and our room was nice and quiet. Good value for money and good location within walking distance of the city.

I stayed for 3 nights, if you include the stupid 3AM wake up to fly out! While I only rate it as average its not because of bad things, it just doesnt excel in any way.

This motel is strategically located near the intercity coach stop which was very convenient for us since we were traveling from Queenstown to Christchurch via bus. They provided us with a kitchenette, electric blanket, heater, sofa, tv, etc. We really love the stay here and the staff is helpful.
