Since the quakes of 2010 and 2011 the downtown is essentially dead, so you need to go elsewhere for food and entertainment. This 10 unit motel is close to downtown but also just a few minutes walk away from a supermarket and a small selection of restaurants. The beds were comfortable, but use the softer pillows in the closet. The... More

My single room was upstairs which was very inconvenient as I had two bags and the stairs were steep . Arrangements to get the early train the following morning were non-existent. It should have been possible to be picked up but that didn't happen. The telephone wasn't working. My train was at 7 o'clock and I needed to be there... More

Having flown straight through from London via Singapore and Sydney, we were quite tired when we arrived. We received a nice welcome from the owner... More

A nice quiet room at the back of the complex. Spacious 2 bedroom apartment, good sized living area, adequate facilities in the rooms. Handy location, close to city, close to many eating places. Good value for a city which had a lot of no-vacancy signs up.
