As Christchurch is so broken we were lucky to be recommended to Bella Vista Christchurch, as so many places are gone.. The owers were friendly helpful and made us feel very welcome. It was a easy walk to the city and Speights Bar. The two bedroom apartment was clean had everything we needed and warm, perfect for our start of... More

My wife and I stayed here on our last night in New Zealand. We had an early flight the next day and so didn't get too much time to spend here. Although we were not supposed to check in until 2pm, we had to drop the car off in Christchurch Town at around midday. We arrived at the motel at... More

The location on an avenue bounding the city centre meant that it was convenient for arriving from the north and when trying to navigate the city. We walked into the Botanic Gardens and Museum, taking only about 10 minutes even after having to divert around the closed Red Zone. A bus tour into the Red Zone was well worth the... More

Clean, value for money motel, and with a parking space right outside your bedroom. A decent pub for evening meals was reccommended to us by the motel proprietors, just 100 yards walk away which was extremely helpful... More

We stayed in a number of motels in this chain during our trip around New Zeland. This one is typical, providing everything you need for an overnight stay. The standard rooms is not big but is cosy, clean and well maintained. They give you milk for coffee / tea. The only downside is the limited wifi that you need to... More

Friendly staff and clean rooms. I stayed in room 11 which is upstairs. It gets a bit hot on a very sunny day as there is no A/C but wit a window open on both sides of the soom you get a nice cross breeze.

On a main road but not too noisy. We had a 3 bedroom unit so plenty of room. Unit was clean and comfortable but dated. Relatively close to town centre and a short walk to an excellent pub where meals were good (but very slow). The lady at the desk was very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.

All I can say is that the hosts truly make this a fabulous stay. Grant was super friendly to the point of even helping us with our bags. When you get a warm, sincere welcome it immediately helps you relax and shows that the owner has a passion for what they do. The rooms are well equipped with cooking facilities... More
