I cannot rate this motel highly enough! The room had everything that we could possibly need, was quiet and comfy. We were loaned DVDs free for two nights, extra wifi and a hob to cook on. We got all our washing done before packing up to go to Singapore. Extremely nice people who couldn't do enough for us.

It's years since I've stayed in a motel and the word always makes me think of places I stayed in the States when I was travelling on a limited budget. But i had no intention of staying in any building higher than two storeys in Christchurch, so a motel it was. Clearly, New Zealand motels operate to MUCH higher standards.... More

This place is a gem. Modern, quiet, all the extras including a nice laundry room. Use the #28 to get to town. The bakery down the street is great but the restaurant across the street is justt average. You will have to drive to get to a good restaurant. The owners of this place go out of their way to... More

Without knowing where to stay in Christchurch we searched the web and settled on the Cranford Oak Motel. That was the best decision we ever made. The room was modern and beautifully finished. It was clean and there was very little outside noise and nothing from the other rooms. After returning from the days outing the room was always serviced... More

The highest point in this accommodation were the owners, they are a friendly and helpful couple who made us fell at home. The room was very clean and wheelchair friendly (the bathroom is quite good). Certainly it is the place I'll stay when visiting Christchurch!

Had a great stay here - it was very clean and quiet and the owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful. It is located about halfway between the central city and airport so is a great location. I would stay here again and recommend others to. Thanks

The owners are the most friendly people on this planet, such a warm welcome, always helpful and going the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. The rooms are sparkling clean and tidy, the bathrooms are equipped with a shower you don't want to leave. And the day you have to go, you feel you leave some good friends too.... More

This was the first time my family and siblings visited in a number of years and having a 60th birthday wanted somewhere nice and handy to my home address for my family to stay. Greg and Sandy were so accommodating by arranging keys for late arrival, (after midnight). A great welcome the following day, excellent facilities in the rooms, such... More
