This is a motel that my fiance regularly stays in when in Christchurch for business. I joined him over the weekend and was very happily surprised at the quality of accomodation and service provided by the hosts. The host, Brian, was familiar with seeing my fiance around and introduced himself to me. From then on he remembered my name each... More

I stayed 2 nights here on business and would never usually stay at a motel when travelling but as most city hotels are closed I gave this a go - and it was worth it! The welcome when checking in is very friendly and made me feel immediately relaxed, assistance with luggage was also offered and appreciated. The room was... More

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... More

This was actually the second motel I tried in Christchurch. The first was fully booked. Definately landed on my feet. The only downside was I needed to pay for the WiFi access - but paid a competitive rate for it. Very helpful hosts, not too far from Shops and restauarants and short drive to the CBD. More

Due to the earthquake, the city center is closed. Basicand elegant interiors. We had a spa studio and it was great. The room was organised and equipped (TV, DVD player and Music system provided). There is adequate parking for guests and hosts Brian and Sue are indeed helpful. However you would find the location of stove is under a rack,... More

We stayed there for only one night and found it very convenient. The room, although it's small, is very comfortable and clean. The small kitchen has all you need to prepare a quick meal and the service is good. Only thing is that there's not much space in the bathroom for your toiletries. Not a big deal. More

It took me a while to decide whether to skip this review or just go ahead and write it. I felt this way because we checked in about 8 PM and out about 4 AM the next morning to head to the airport. Our stay here was somewhat bittersweet because it was our last night in New Zealand before heading... More

Have stayed at the Fyffe on my 3 trips to NZ. Sue & Brian are fantastic hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Our last trip was for the Rugby World Cup and whilst we were off travelling to Dunedin, Invercargill & Wellington Sue & Brian kindly stored our suitcases. We arrived back in CC to find our suitcases has... More
