We had driven from Pohara that day and came to this motor lodge which we had booked blind whilst in the UK. We were so relieved to find this was an excellent choice. Sue and Brian were very friendly on arrival and check in was made very simple, even with some complimentary tea and coffee and milk. The rooms were of outstanding quality and spacious. The self catering apartment was cleaned every day and fresh everything on a daily basis as well. Although on the main road it was well located and we weren't bothered by any traffic noise during our stay. Our hire car made it easy to travel into the city but as you are on a main bus route using public transport would also be an easy alternative. I was also pleased that a Lone Star restaurant was located at the end of the road which provides excellent food and service. Definitely recommend on every level. Hope to stay again on a return visit to Christchurch NZ.
