Very enjoyable stay in a cosy, ultra quiet motel with excellent host, Frances, who directed us to restaurants (which were good and had reasonable prices) and helped with all our enquires.
Great location - 10 mins drive from the airport, 5 mins walk from lovely Hagley Park, 5 mins easy walk from a huge Westfield centre where you can buy anything and 10 mins walk from a huge centre with all the outdoor gear stores you could want.
50 MB free wifi and you can pay for more. Shared washing machine and dryer (pay $2 per load) and a clothes line to use out the back.
Large rooms, comfortable beds, shampoo, hairdryer, nice towels, tea, coffee and hot chocolate and biscuits all included. Kitchen with all the necessary utensils.
It is a tiny bit dated and the sheets aren't pure cotton. The shower head is one that seems to be fairly typical in NZ - it has a constant pressure and you adjust the temperature. For those who like a warm but gentle shower this is not great but it was hot, which is the main thing! The heater makes a bit of noise but it is a great place to stay at a great price and we would return again.
