Great motel close to shops and restaurants. The room was clean and had many useful amenities such as a fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster and hob. Parking was also included and was close to the room which was convenient. Staff behind the reception were very friendly and helpful. I can't fault this motel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Christchurch. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
Fantastic batch for a family, with space for us all and all the amenities you need. Clean and tidy with off street parking and close to everything and great views.
I stayed here for 4 days and I can't speak highly enough of this motel the staff and owners were so friendly and helpful.
The motel is centrally situated to almost every holiday highlight you want to see in Christchurch also so many restaurants and fast food outlets.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Good location, kind staff and comfortable bed. Would happily stay again.
This is not downtown, but it is a good location that splits the difference between the airport and CBD. I walk, and it’s an easy (but longish) walk to the city center. Bus service is also frequent, and there is direct service to both the CBD and airport. It’s super clean, super quiet, and very comfy. It has a kitchenette. It’s overall a great spot.

The room was clean. The laundry facilities was wonderful to have.
Unfortunately due to a flight change our stay was short but room was clean, close to a variety of restaurants and had adequate parking. Check in was quick and staff personable and helpful.
