My partner and I arrived here in the early hours after flying in to NZ. Thankfully we were only stopping off en route elsewhere. The room was foisty and old-fashioned, and not very clean. The bedsheets were old and a little damp, and the en-suite bathroom was grim. For the price, this place was very poor, although the host was... More

Worst experience we had in NZ. Unfriendly staff. More

This is the perfect place to stay before flying out or on your way into Christchurch. The owners could not have been more helpful or welcoming. A big shopping centre just down the road is a perfect place to eat or chill out for a couple of hours. More

Wonderful place to stay, and close to the airport. Includes an airport shuttle service. Would highly recommend and will stay here again. More

Everyday there is a little plate of biscuits or crackers left in the room, always offering the use of dvds from reception and helpful recommendations for dinner options. More

The motel has not changed since last time we were there. Our first visit was when the motel was reasonably new and 2 years later I am pleased to say it is still exceptionally clean. More
