We stayed here for 7 nights due to EQC repairs. We found the place lovely and warm. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Nice and quiet considering it is placed on a main road. Close to a huge selection of restaurants. Reasonably priced for a two room. More

The motel is old and needs refreshing however the owners are very welcoming and hospitable. There is reduced choice in Christchurch due to the earthquake and we found that every motel along yaldhurst rd was booked out. We paid $185 for the two bed apt for the one night. More

Stayed here for 2 nights, it was quite a lot of money compared to other motels I've stayed at (which were better). The room was a mini apartment with a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. It was very dated and could use a re-vamp, but they have brand new widescreen TV's which doesn't really match up. They said they have... More

Hi, we're sorry you found our motel dull and expensive. Down the road are about 15 newer motels where you could have paid $20 to $40 a night more. Our tarifs are within the industry norm for a 3 Star Plus Qualmark rated motel. More

We only stayed here as we’d been double booked at our original motel due to the volume of EQ workers that had to be accommodated, and this was the only place in town that had a 2 bed unit available. The owner seemed indifferent to us and said when trade picks up he’ll be selling up and moving on, not... More

Great spot handy to the city and malls, but very tired needs a major revamp all the units seem to be the same as when they were built 20-30 years ago apart from new tvs. Not a place we would stay again, far better value closer to town. Maybe a smile from the owner now and again would help also. More

This reply is rather late , but have just started to reply to some. We are sorry you found our tariffs too high , but are chuffed at your compliment of saying we only look 20 to 30 years old when in fact the buildings are 50 years old this year. We have been upgrading rooms one by one ,... More
