“What an amazing Motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

What a great Motel Annabell court is

The people of christchurch have had a tough time to say the least, Yet the owners of this Motel could not have been more helpful, friendly or polite.

Bedroom - Very clean and tidy. The bed was very much to my liking. Extra covers are provided if required.

Bathroom - Very clean and tidy. Shower was hot and powerful and enough cupboard space to store everything.

Lounge / Kitchen - Again clean and tidy, everything you would expect in a kitchen, Sofa bed/settee in the lounge with TV.

We only used the heating once, ( It was me that was cold not the room ) and it seems 95% of homes/Hotels and motels DO NOT have central heating as you would find in the UK. Some may have air Con that blows hot air.
Annabelle court provides heaters which do a superb job.

It is on a main road, If you wish to turn right but getting stuck with traffic, Turn Left , then Turn right into the Liquor shop and come out again. So easy.

We had one of the end rooms and had no issue with road noise ( as in we did not hear it )

Shopping and park are within 10 minutes walk.

My only regret is that I did not make more use of there Local knowledge and things to see and do.

This is a Beautiful country to visit and this is a superb location to have a base to start and end from.

10 out of 10 .

Extra Notes......
1 - when driving in the carpark please watch out for small white dog. he is very cute and I would like to see him next time I visit.
2 - Dont sit in the carpark and get sun burnt, :o(
3 - leave it clean and tidy and how you would expect to find it.

I would come back tomorrow if I could.

Thank you so much .

Mark and caroline Morley

“Excellent Motel in great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011

I was at this motel during a work visit to Christchurch and it was a great place to stay at. It is located just off Hagley park so great for runners, it is just down the road from teh Westfield mall so good if you want to shop, and it is a nice walk through the park or short cab ride in to the city. All in all a great location.

As for the motel, the room was nice and had everything i required including fridge, pots and pans, hob, microwave, cutlery, kettle, plates and cups etc. Everythign you need.

The room was cleaned daily and the bed was comfortable and the shower high pressure and great after running around the park. The laundry is cheap and efficient taking a short time to wash and dry clothes.

The owners were very friendly and a great help, suggesting thigns to do, places to go etc.

There is a gym across the road which is handy and the motel has wifi access.

I would highly recommend this motel.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2011

We stayed there on our first visit to Christchurch and liked it so much we returned to the motel to stay again two weeks later. Rooms very clean and comfortable. We lived in room at rear of motel and it was very quiet. The owners could not be more helpful. The motel has very good discount arrangements with a couple of very good restaurants nearby which we took full advantage of. There are buses every few minutes to town center just outside motel, a liquor store right across the road and an Irish bar only two minutes away on same side. What more do you need!!
We have no problem in recommending Annabelle Court to anyone as a place to stay when visiting Christchurch.

We will have no hestiation in booking our accommodation at Annabelle Court for future trips to Christchurch and can recommend this motel to others planning to stay in Chrischurch. Thank you Annabelle Court for a most enjoyable and relaxing stay in Chistchurch.

“Great Family Accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

We stayed at Annabelle Court Motel for the 2nd week of the September school holidays and found the accommodation excellent. We had a 2bedroom room which had ample room for us and we also had a patio area around the back. The unit was clean and tidy and was always cleaned daily. We found the owner to be very friendly and happy to help out in anyway. The motel was well situated to the city and its fantastic to have Riccarton Mall just down the road.
We will definitely be staying again.
