Unit was clean but overall a bit tired. Although the sign in the unit said breakfast was available this was not the case. This wasn’t a problem as the location provides plenty of places to get breakfast. Reasonable for the price and location. I needed to be close to the airport so this was ideal.

Great motel with amazing staff.
I only stayed for one night, but the room was much larger than I had expected for the price. Equipped with a individual dining/living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay and even the time after check out went as smooth as possible.

Lovely motel.
Really lovely motel, and i love the fact that some of the rooms have covered parking right next to them. It might not be the most modern motel but don't let that put you off, it was warm, and it's clean and the shower was hot and strong. Lovely staff.

Ideal if flying from Christhurch Airport.
Overall a decent little motel, could do with abit of updating though. Carpet had a tear in it, and was quite dated throughout but to be fair I would stay there again so it can't be that bad. Would recommend!

Lovely units. Garden to rear
Only 1 night for us, but I travel through and will be staying again. As we arrived late it was only in the morning that we noticed the lovely open plan garden out the back. Bathroom could use a revamp but otherwise a very pleasant place. We left some stuff behind and they were happy to forward to us. 👍

Close to the airport
Two night stay during autumn (late April). The room was cold when I arrived back from work at 11pm and took a while to warm up. Luckily there was an electric blanket. The shower pressure was very low, so the morning wake-up was not pleasant. The staff were friendly and the price was good, so you get what you pay for!

Perfect for what we needed
The rooms are not new but they were extremely comfortable and they were clean. The set up was great: even the teenager had his own space. We had cooking facilities and could have been completely self contained. The staff were wonderful. Really friendly and they went out of their way to provide an excellent service. The location really worked for us with bus stops going in both directions located at the doorstop. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone who didn't mind being a little way from town; We didn't see that as a big deal in Christchurch anyway as there is less happening in the CBD these days.

Very nice hotel, centrally located
We had a large, clean, comfortable room on the 5th floor. The staff allowed us to check in at 10:15 a.m., so we had a full day, within a block of the Octagon. Laundry facilities were right next door. This was convenient as we had been travelling for a month. The room was still quiet, even with the adjacent laundry room.
