We stayed there for 3 nights. Room cleaness was avarage. We had a late check-in time about 2 am and as the reception office shutted off they left the key for us and emailed us before we arrived which was very nice. They checked on us in the early morning. When we asked for tourist places they kindly adviced us.... More

Definitely not recommended. The rooms were not serviced properly despite booking the room for a week, the office was only open between 9am and 6pm and when trying to access an invoice at the end of my stay they refused to give it to me on check out, instead telling me to put the keys through the cat door.

Using an online motel finder this was the last option available in Christchurch and I can see why. The ground floor units appeared to be populated with student who were doing what students do, partying. It was a mission trying to park the car, there seemed to be 2 vehicles to every room. Room was clean enough but the place... More

I booked here due to reading the reviews, so I feel I was let down. I found the Shower hadnt been cleaned properly, which ruined totally my weekendbefore it started and the fridge didnt seem to be working properly. More

We acknowledge that occasionally small things slip through the system as everyone is human. Our standard of cleanliness is normally exceptionally high and we pride ourselves on this. In this case, as explained to the guest, we had been out of town for a few days at a funeral and not been in a position to check the units and... More

Owners are so friendly and helpful, directed us to all the great places to dine and sightsee nothing was too much to ask. Services all conveniently located on site. Transport just out on the sidewalk, so handy to all amenities. More

We stayed here after the earthquake and we needed a place to stay temporarily while we waited for our house to be inspected. Really accomodating hosts, very understanding and really go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms we stayed in were clean and serviced daily, location close to town and what's great... More

The no refund policy will also apply to anyone not happy with the service or quality of the stay.The location being situated right next door to student accomodation can make for a very loud stay, if you like the sound of the walls bouncing base then perfect for you. Reception is not available after 10.30pm so any problems are yours... More

I stayed here with my family in July and found it to be perfect for a family, the units are quite large and although a bit dated everything was clean and comfortable. The owners are really friendly they even got our washing in one day when it started to rain! The first thai restaurant just down the road (the blue... More

If you are looking at a comfortable, clean motel that has every thing you need then you should definately pick the Strathern Lodge Motel. My family, friends and I (4 Units) stayed at this motel when we where in town for the funeral of our mother. The owners were so accommodating and caring and nothing was to much trouble. The... More

The Strathern Motel has provided peace of mind and great value during several visits over the last ten years. Even though ownership changed - the location, service, price and environment have always been excellent. My grown children have visited Christchurh on their own and stayed at the Strathern. I've stayed there by myself. Last July my wife, the younger children... More
