I needed accommodation for three adults close to Bishopdale, and this motel hit the spot. We were halfway between the city and the people we were visiting. The room is small and basic, but I expected that for the price. The beds were pretty hard, but we actually slept well. The first night was hard to get to sleep because... More

Accommodation in Chch was almost booked out and this was 1 of 3 motels/hotels left - I should have guessed something was up. It was cheapish ($130) so my expectations were reasonably low. It was very basic, the towels were incredibly hard, decor was dated, tv was up high almost on the ceiling, milk was provided in a very small... More

We were greeted by the friendly manager who showed us to a unit close to the main road. What's good Location,price, clean, cooking facilities and good powerful shower.small bed was soft and bouncy but comfortable big bed was hard but comfortable.Friendly staff member Not so good. Really dated decor, sandpaper towels, noisy road which is quite from 3am till 5am,

Lovely photos BUT!! The single room had no curtain and was damp and freezing (no heater located in that room). It was so COLD that one of my children had to instead have the queen bed in what was meant to be the double room and share with her sister in another single bed located in same room. My partner...

I booked for my staff to stay here for a few days as it was close to our office. When I booked I gave them my credit card and all was accepted.

Accomadation is tight in Christchurch and surrounds, so you really do get what you pay for. Its about 8ks out of town. Good things are the bus stops just a few steps away to get into Christchurch. Its clean as well. Bad things id say is its very basic, and despite looking clean the dated and stained carpets and furniture... More

I think it comes down to expectations here. Another reviewer has discredited this place for what it doesn't have, but fails to see what it does have and what you get for your money. I believe I got exactly what I paid for at Tui Lodge: a good night's sleep in a basic motel room close to the city. All... More

THe studio unit we stayed in was small beter suited for one person not a couple and the kitchen was no bigger than a closet but he bed was comfortable and sun was welcome in the afternoon,carparking was a bit cramped but the motel itself was very well located and away from the traffic noise. Staff are very friendly and... More

We booked into this motel for 5 nights via the internet. It claimed to be a 3 star establishment. We escaped after a night's stay, grateful to have the balance of our stay refunded. The unit bore no resemblance to the advertised photos. It was cramped, the paintwork was chipped, the face cloths and bath towel discoloured, furniture ancient and... More
