We stayed in a 2-bed apartment unit. The unit was spacious and had a full kitchen and good shower. The owner/manager was very conscientious, offering us fresh milk for coffee, a heater in case we needed it for the night, and invited us to use the well stocked DVD library as needed.

This is an older motel, yes the carpets are not new but the place was clean, the owners friendly, and the beds were comfortable.

We stayed here on our return to Christchurch after several days of camping throughout the South Island and we found this motel extremely comfortable. Its situated close to the airport (about 10...

(you can get free DVDs to watch at the reception) As with all motels in the area you need a car to move around. Distances are huge in NZ, (nothing to do... More
