The Westfield shopping centre is around the corner, and lots of restaurants nearby, lots of thing is at your finger tips. The host Mary is just wonderful. She was simply the best host. When we arrived, she made us feel so welcomed, when we departed from there for the flights, she made us miss the hotel. It really is a... More

The Lorenzo is a clean,well-equipped motel. It's a short walk to shops and restaurants and stroll across Hagley park to the city centre, past the lovely botanical gardens. Our room was clean, comfortable and well furnished but it was on the ground floor with a large, rather open aspect so not as private as we would''ve liked. Mike and Mary,... More

It's hard to fault this wonderful accommodation at all. Mike was simply the best host and bent over backwards to help us out with a portacot and anything else that we needed at anytime of day. We even had to print out some things and they were kind enough to let us use their printer. The rooms were amazingly clean... More

I have stayed at Lorenzo's four times in the past four years on my motorcycle travels through New Zealand. My last visit was before the last major earthquake in 2011 and I returned again in 2012 to see how things had changed. To my delight there wasn't a single sign of damage to the motel and little to the Riccarton... More

We stayed as an entire family booking 5 rooms at Lorenzo's when we stayed for my daughter's 21st. Mary and Mike were excellent hosts who made us all feel very welcome. As it was winter and we were out for the evening they offered to turn on our electric blankets and Mike provided a bucket of hot water the following... More

Having read the reviews on here we chose to stay at the Lorenzo. I really cannot add anything more to other peoples comments. Everything people have written is a clear description and you won't be disappointed. Mike and Mary had just returned from holiday themselves when we arrived and this had no impact on the service and time they spent... More

Based on reviews I booked a room here for two nights, and I was not disappointed. Excellent service by Mike, clean room, table for my laptop, and close to some good places to eat. I would certainly stay here again. Laundry facilities as well, if you need those. My only nitpicks are that 1) It's near a railroad track, so... More

We'd been planning our holiday to NZ for years. The Lorenzo Motor Lodge was the first place we stayed upon our arrival in Christchurch. The 2 bedroom apartment was immaculate and housed 2 adults and 2 children well but what impressed myself more was the service provided by Mike and Mary. Both are very personable people who take great pride... More

My husband did a lot of research before our trip and Lorenzo Motor Lodge ranked number 1 for our Christchurch stay. So there we went! Our first encounter with Mike, the owner, was pleasant and warm. He was in no hurry at all and answered all our questions. Then he took us to our room, showed us around and let... More
