In spite of its busy Riccarton Road location, the double glazing at the Apollo provides a quiet and restful experience. The owners and staff are attentive and friendly, the unit was clean, comfortable and well equipped, there's a genuine green commitment to recycling and energy saving, and the Apollo is centrally located and really convenient. I've stayed here before, and... More

What a gem the Apollo Motel is! The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and well equiped, the decor was restful and inviting. It felt like there was heating under the tiles in the bathroom. The hosts were helpful and knowledgeable about attractions around Christchurch. Nothing is a problem, they are willing to go the extra mile for their... More

The beds were comfortable, rooms exceptionally clean, and the shower had good water pressure which is very important to me! I would definitely recommend this to anyone heading to Christchurch. Book in early though, because beds in Christchurch are fairly limited.

A lovely and warm reception from the staff and great flexibility with our early and late arrival times due to flights. Great room, small outdoor area and a great feel. Easy trip to town and good spots to eat not too far away. A great place to stay!

We had a lovely stay. The owners are helpful and very friendly. Rooms were much nicer than we were expecting and the well-maintained flower gardens were a pleasant touch. We have been back again, and have been more than satisfied with Apollo on both occasions.

My wife and I stayed in a downstairs room in the Apollo for one night as somewhere to tide us over between an incoming flight at Christchurch Airport and a long drive down south. My first impression was that this small two-storey motel was on a very noisy main road and had a very cramped car park, requiring some tight... More

We booked over the phone and were impressed with the service, this was confirmed when we arrived. The motel operators were very friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely and clean. Despite being the closet room to Riccarton Rd we found the room to be quiet due to the double glazing and room layout. Excellent free Internet and a selection... More

very comfortable, spacious and immaculately presented units on Riccarton Road, close to University (10 min walk) and Westfield mall (15 min walk), on the main bus routes to the city and outside. Very friendly and helpful owners. Would certainly recommend this as a good base for the city.

Our last stop in NZ was Christchurch. Luckily, we booked this motel well in advance. There were numerous events going on in Christchurch, and with the damage done by the earthquake, there were no more rooms to be found in the city. We liked the upstairs room as it had a cathedral ceiling, making the place seem very large. The... More
