This motel appears to cater for a lot of Airport travellers.. though you would expect that being only 3ks or so away from the airport. The staff are excellent and in particular the shuttle bus people.. all hours of the night and still smiling. If you are doing a before 7am flight you need to arrange a taxi.. the front... More

i needed a room in Christchurch, a base to get my head down between arriving late and an early departure. The large airport hotel was not a cost effective option. A google search led me to finding the Airport Lodge Motel, I am so glad i did. I booked a room for a couple of nights over the phone and... More

Not impressed at all for the price. Bedroom furniture chipped and tatty. Net curtains in bedroom torn, main drapes not connected at one corner to the track, net curtain on lounge door torn and needed a wash. Grubby marks on the most uncomfortable couch. Screws in the wall where something had obviously been hanging. No outside light working from lounge.... More

We stayed for two nights and were very comfortable in our room. The motel is an older style but our rooms were clean and larger than most modern motels - we had a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. The price for our breakfast was very reasonable and we were able to cook our own toast and make our own... More

Turned up and thought all was promising: nice rooms, kitchen was good, bathroom a little to be desired but very big for the price. However, we thought we'd lost our camera and asked the owner if he had CCTV for us to check who was around our room just in case. He said he'd been meaning to install it but... More

We were booked on a late arrival from Brisbane and an early departure for Queenstown, so we needed a room with a warm shower and warm bed near the airport – with a free shuttle transfer service – that was open at midnight. Airport Lodge fitted the bill. We arrived at midnight and called the freecall number and their night... More

Called for the free airport shuttle, got greeted by friendly guy who I think actually does everything at the property. Nights stay was good, good value, especially when you take into account 2 free shuttle transfers for our family. Good clean unit, perhaps a little dated but kept very clean and tidy. Has everything you need.

We booked this lodge as we found it to be conveniently located near the airport & fabulous for an overnight stay especially when one is using Christchurch as a hub while driving into other touristee spots .The rooms are very old & needs a TLC. The refrigeration unit was very noisy in the night, especially the thermostat didn't get a... More

We stayed 1 night between flights , typical old style motel , needs decor up- dating to 21st century , unit was clean but looked like some residential welfare folk staying in them up till 12:30am making noise ----- tv good although volume dodgy -no restaurants in walking distance ---short drive to airport----- wouldn't stay again as have had a...
