This unit was modern, clean and tidy. Service was excellent however bedroom was too cramped. There was a double bed and a single bed crammed into one room. No room to walk comfortably in between or through between bed and door. No room for bedside tables. Bit of a risk if you needed to get out in a hurry. Would have been much better with just a good size bed, e.g king.

Awesome place to stay. Friendly checkin and had everything we needed. Great location by Hagley Park. Kids loved the pool. Right by the road but noise wasn't too bad but room shook when buses/trucks raced past!

Thanks for the awesome review we are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Unfortunately a lot of Christchurch shakes now when the trucks and busses pass by since the earthquakes hope this was not too troublesome for you.

A very good clean, large motel room that is within walking distance to Christchurch. Has a good size kitchenette and a comfortable bed. Close to restaurants, shops & botanic gardens. On a main road but little noise evident & has onsite parking. Highly recommended.

We chose it because it was Pet Friendly. Very warm welcome. After a long drive on a cold winter's day, we arrived to a wonderfully warm and spotlessly clean room. Bed was very comfortable. Will definitely revisit.

We stayed at this motel twice during our holiday, and we loved the location. It is just a short walking distance from several parks and the CBD. The unit was also really clean and modern. I'd definitely stay here again!

We have stayed here for almost 2 weeks due to covid 19. The circumstances were uncertain, but Shelley was very understanding and we could speak Dutch with Hennie and Leo from housekeeping. They took good care of us and provided us with everything we needed. We had a perfect spacious room with good wifi and cooking facilities. A supermarket is at walking distance and a beautiful park is in the neigbourhood. It's a perfect place to stay near the center and 10 minutes from the airport.
