Our family felt so blessed to stay in such a wonderful motel on our visit to Christchurch. We were "lucky" to be guests on the night of the 10 earthquake at the start of 2012. Having always known earthquakes, most of the hotels showed building fatigue from all the tremblers of this region; not so The Randolph. I can highly... More

We had a very bad experience at the Tuscana Motor Lodge (1 Star) and found this motel the next morning. The owner was very accommodating and the place was immaculate. We had 4 of us in a two bedroom unit and it was plenty of room. Recommend highly. A little more expensive than some but worth it.

We have stayed here a few times and are always pleased with the apartment size and facilities provided . Very good value and close to both what's left of the city and the Merivale Mall and restaurants. Very friendly staff as well. No noticeable traffic noise from Papanui Road.

I would thoroughly recommend this motel, which offered everything I was looking for. Good value, excellent modern and tasteful appliances, spa bath, free washing and drying facilities, clean rooms done everyday with lovely clean towels and flannels. Would stay again.

I recently stayed one night at this Motel with my daughter. The room was clean and spacious, with electric blankets and a heat pump to ensure we were warm on a cold night. In the morning I asked advise on where to eat breakfast and headed there on checking out. I accidentally left my I phone in the room and... More

Whilst in Melbourne on 22 Feb we heard about the dreadful earthquake in Christchurch and wondered whether we should go there as planned on 9 March. After much discussion with friends, family and Peter we decided we would follow our... More

We have stayed at the Randolph probably 6-8 times now. We live in Greymouth and always stay there when visiting Christchurch for business or pleasure. We have stayed & continue to stay in many motels around NZ and we rate the Randolph as one of the best. You won't be disappointed with the facilities, service & cleanliness. When booking the... More
