Stayed on two separate occasions. Both rooms were spacious. Cooking equipment is supplied for a light meal and milk is given on arrival. Cost was about 125 a night, cheaper then a couple of hotels in the same street, (and there are many hotels in that street) which when we checked were both about 140 a night. When we left... More

We stayed for one night and got the one bedroom unit. The unit was roomy for 4 people (family of 4 adults). We loved using the microwave, hairdryer and TV with local stations and 4 Sky Channels. The heater and electric blankets were perfect for that chilly autumn night. Parking is not a problem. And they have Fly Buys. Clean... More

Used our Fly Buys points for this motel and it was just perfect for our one night stay in Christchurch. Clean, comfortable and friendly. Great location on Riccarton Road, comfortable walking distant to a group of shops for restaurants and takeaways. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

The motel is well located on Riccation road and easy access in to the city, however as such it is very noisy! there is a cornershop across the road, which sell's essentials, and its a 15/20 min stroll down to Hagley Park, which takes you past a number of restaurants and a shopping mall enroute. The unit was a two... More

We arrived after 30 hour flight and found just what we needed to recover from jet lag. We are a family and it was nice to have a small kitchen with milk provided. The location was on the bus line to city center and near good shopping for food and sim cards

Pity the earthquakes happened - otherwise this might have been a even better stay. The motel clearly suffered some damage that is still not fixed - not the owners fault though - we all know that insurance companies don't work that fast. So - we had a few cracks in the ceiling and a water leak from under the fridge... More

Thank you for your review. The earthquake and has created a bit of damage but the claim is progressing and hopefully those cracks etc will be gone shortly. Looks like it will happen within the next few months. The one bedroom unit has a queen and a single bed in the bedroom but the single bed can be moved out... More

We stayed one night here. The room and ensuite were clean and tidy. The kitchen was very cramped with the two ring hotplate stowed on top of the microwave. The bed was comfortable enough, but so low that I had problems getting to my feet. However the electric blanket on my wife's side had been left on when the bed... More

The owners of this motel picked us up from the airport one night, delivered us to the TranzCoastal train the next morning, and provided us with great facilities and a good breakfast in the interim. Next time in Christchurch this is where we stay.

Unit was ok, certainly nothing spectacular. The whole place could do with a good spring clean and re vamp. Room was tidy but the bathroom and some fixtures and fittings needed a good clean and a moldy ceiling in the bathroom. Riccarton Rd has definitely got busies but the units on the road definitely get the traffic noise. Heater in... More
