We stayed 4 nights at the Abbella Lodge and were very happy with our stay. Stayed there with a 3 year old and found the place to be very clean and tidy. I was very happy with the standard of the room and the price. The owners went out of their way to help us in an hour of need... More

we stayed one night at Abbella Lodge. We got a nice room upstairs, as we requested. Our king size bed was very comfortable and staff very helpful. All was clean and we would stay here again. Location is good, too.

We stayed 2 nights and found the room to be very well equipped with a separate bathroom and kitchen. It was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The location was good - just a short drive to restaurants, shops and the CBD.

It's lovely to have a motel offering seperate bedroom and living area a fully equipped kitchenette a dining area and seating area. It has generous size bathroom with a good shower pressure and spa bath. Though a wee bit stark in the decor for my liking they are very clean and work well. I was concerned about the potential road... More

The proprietors of this motel have something special going for them - they are just those rare hosts you come across every now and again who get it right 100% of the time. The accommodation was nice and pleasant and well appointed, and in a city that is a little shaky they make it seem OK by doing a range... More

We found Abbella one of the best accommodations we have ever stayed in. The service was really friendly, helpful and informative. They even lent us an umbrella as we walked to have dinner, as it looked like it could rain. The rooms very tastefully decorated, and the most spotlessly clean I have ever come across. We had concerns when we... More

Stayed for one night when touring the South Island with wife and two kids. Nice modern motel, but really set apart by the extremely helpful and pleasant service. Had some washing to do, which would have taken a long time to dry in the smallish dryer in the guest laundry but the hostess put our washing in her own dryer... More
