“Comfortable and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012

We have just spent 3 nights at the Arthur's Court. The units were lovely, beds comfortable and Frank and Jo were very helpful and friendly. Despite their best efforts, we couldn't get a table at the local Thai restaurant, which is apparently superb. However, we did manage to get into Coriander, the local Indian, which was excellent - if you do not have a VERY large appetite, don't order a starter - they are humungous!! They did arrange for us to have dinner at Christchurch Casino - we aren't gamblers, but it was an entertaining evening of people watching and the food was very good.
We can only assume that the people who found Frank grumpy did not appreciate his sense of humour. We loved the fact that smoking was only allowed in a designated area so that second hand smoke didn't float in through the window of the unit.
This is our first visit to Christchurch since the earthquake - we now appreciate the enormity of the task ahead to rebuild.
We will certainly stay at Arthur's Court again the next time we visit the Garden City.

Room Tip: Try to get one which is not adjacent to the road - despite the double glazing, there was still a lit...

“Well located, very clean and comfortable.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

This motel is well located for a stay in Christchurch. It is very clean and comfortable, with good parking. Wifi access was fast and the cost of using reasonable. If you want somewhere to stay close to the city centre which provides good value for money, thesis a good place to stay.

“Feel like at home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Arthur`s Court Motor Lodge is a very nice place to stay in. I`m here in New Zealand for work and from the beginning I got a very warm, lovely welcome. Jo and Frank are the owners of this Motel and they try to help and support you where ever they can. The units are very clean and nothing is missing. However if you are staying one night or 4 weeks Frank and Jo are taking care of you. You can sit back relax and enjoy your stay.

Thank you very much

Greetings Martin from Switzerland/Germany

“Best Motel in Christchurch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

Fantastic place to stay. Frank and Jo are warm and welcoming hosts. After a travel day from hell I needed a haven to relax in..this is the place, Frank even welcomed me with a beer to ease away the stress. Room was absolutely spotless with quality touches throughout from the sheets on the bed to the wine glasses and cutlery.
If you are feeling peckish be sure to check out the Thai Restauraunt about 30m up the road awesome food, best Thai I have tasted in a long while. There is also a bottleshop a little further down the road (2 mins walk) which has a great selection of wine.
Highly recommended will be back on my next visit to Christchurch
