My room was one of the smaller rooms, but it had everything you could possibly want and was clean and quiet. The motel is just across the road from Westfield Shopping Mall and within walking... More

Our experience of Kauri Motel was fantastic. Helen & Denis are the most amazing people you could come across, they epitomise kiwi hospitality. Our room was cosy but well laid out, and every last detail had been thought of. It was stylish, modern and functional, and a great place to stay. It was the best nights sleep I had of... More

With the existing red zone, accomodation in CC is now situated in the suburbs such as this one in Riccarton. The location is right across the street from the best mall in town. Lots of restaurants in the neighborhood, not to mention the food court at the mall. Rooms are clean, well appointed, relatively quiet though relatively small. Helen is... More

Helen went out of her way to organise flowers and chocolates to go into my room on my mother’s behalf. My room was very clean, modern and classily decorated.... More

Excellent locality. Right opposite the Riccarton Mall. The room compact, very clean and tidy. The owners were very friendly. We thought that it might be noisy being close to the main road but it wasn't at all. More

The location of this motel, right adjacent the Riccarton Mall, is all it has going for it. The room was tiny, with small windows and no outlook. The room was cold and dark and the bathroom cramped. The mirror in the bathroom was so low you had to crouch to see yourself and there was no rubbish bin in the... More
