Very nice owners, great place, very roomy. Not an easy walk to town or city parks, but a wonderful place to start our New Zealand vacation!

The room is well appointed, including a kitchenette, washer and dryer. The manager/owner was pleasant and accommodating. The location is not the most convenient for dining and sight seeing, but is a short Uber/bus ride from the CBD. Excellent value for the price.

Thanks for staying Paul. Fans are available and ac is in some rooms. If only 1 TV channel was available it would be because someone changed from Sky to Freeview and it is changeable in 30 seconds.

Kirsten, Sydney

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lovely accommodation. My room had a lot of space and a lovely balcony with table and chairs to enjoy the lovely ChCh summer weather with a glass of wine. The huge bonus was a washing machine and dryer in the apartment, which I have never had in a motel anywhere in NZ before. Even though the motel is on busy Bealey Ave, it is back far enough from the road to not hear any road noise. I would definitely recommend this motel!

It is decent but not as clean as I expected. The rooms are stuffy with no good air ventilation as no AC provided. The good thing is the washine machine n dryer are provided in each apartment. This gives alot of convenience and the washer is good.

Unable to locate a booking foe Julie, but did find a Karen around this time. All guests who paid for A/C, got A/C and those that request a fan, receive a fan.

Brian was outstanding. Very helpful, very accommodating. The room was ok. Luxury is a stretch. I suspect ours was the smallest room in the place. And while it was clean, it was tired. Carpet was old and stained, furniture noticeably beat up, mattress a little saggy. Location, cleanliness and shower were good.

Brian was very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible with not only our initial booking but also our extended accommodation requirements. The location is fabulous with everything you need within walking distance or short 5/10 minute drive. Also, having a light kitchenette (mini-fridge, microwave, sink, kettle, toaster, etc.) in addition to a full washer and dryer was very convenient for extended stay. The huge Jacuzzi tub was a welcome respite after our long days of walking. Overall, a great place to call your temporary home while in Christchurch.

Told the owner that Wi-Fi wasn’t working in the afternoon, but the owner dismissed the issue. Wi-Fi worked intermittently in the evening and stopped working the next morning. The “kitchen” doesn’t include a stove or oven. Everything else is pretty good as one would expect.

This small family run hotel is our favorite when visiting Christchurch. It is impeccably clean, the owner is on site and helpful, and the rooms are comfortable. The parking area can be tight and fill up quickly, but we have always found a park. Will be back again soon !

Beautifully appointed - the room smelled strongly of smoke - there was a wee veranda outside with an ashtray but I wonder if the last guests smoked inside. Lovely manager. Wasn’t sure where to leave key on my early checkout - reception was locked and there was no Dropbox - left in room.
