During our 3.5 week NZ trip, we stayed twice at the Lorenzo Motor Lodge, the first time, when we arrived and the second time before we left. We prebooked the first two nights in NZ from Germany many months before. It was the right choice, very nice hosts and a great location. Not far from the airport, Restaurants and Malls,... More

Our stay at the Lorenzo Motor Lodge was the first of many hotels chosen for our tour through New Zealand and Australia. After staying in five other hotels along the way, I'd have to say that the Lorenzo was our favorite. Not only was it immaculate and comfortable, but our hosts, Mary and Mike, were friendly and extremely helpful. Their... More

A little bit late with this review - Stayed here February 2013 to attend my sons wedding. Had a great two bedroom ground floor unit, it was clean, fresh and faultless. Owner Mike very friendly and efficient and "customer focused" on his guests. Enjoyed this stay emmensley and will have no hesitation to return when next in Christchurch. Genuinely enjoyed... More

we stayed here on our last night in new zealand and i wish we could have stayed for longer. this place is very spacious and relaxing, it was very comfortable and homely, but maybe that was because we got upgraded to a two bedroom apartment! we even loved the toiletries - natural handmade soaps and body products from jeymar soap...

Since the earthquake put many of the big chain hotels out of action it has allowed great independants like this one to flourish. We would have stayed in the centre before, but Lorenzo is now in one of the best locations to explore Christchurch. We really appreciated the time Mike spent giving advice on what to see and where to... More

When I booked Lorenzo online. I thought it was pricey but, given that so many places in Christchurch were closed because of the earthquake and that we were on a long flight from Canada, we thought we would splurge and go to Tripadvisor's # 1 rated hotel. I had requested an early check-in and hoped we would be accommodated. We... More

Went to check in to the room for 2nd anniversary; he asked if it was just the two of us, we said yes, and suddenly he couldn't accept the credit card. Miraculously there is now a charge on our credit card despite the fact he wouldn't let us check in. We had had the booking since CHRISTMAS! Amazing there is... More

I will start by saying that the contents of this review are inaccurate and an incorrect assumption has been made. This reservation was made on 20 January with an arrival time of 6pm given. When the guest had not arrived by 7pm, I checked the credit card details stated to verify the booking. At no stage were any funds transferred... More

Mike and Mary were wonderful, extremely helpful and friendly. We booked over the Lorenzo website and Mike was quick to respond with confirmation and extra information for our trip. The room was great, spotlessly clean and the spa was fantastic after a big day. We were also impressed with the lovely bathroom products provided, they were a really nice touch.... More
