We stayed here in December 2011 for 3 nights. On arrival, we were made to feel very welcome by Jeff, who was funny, friendly and full of useful knowledge. He gave us some great tips on what to do and see in Cristchurch, particularly difficult as much of it was so badly damaged in the Feb earthquake. He even tried... More

Stayed here for 1 night whilst travelling around New Zealand and have to say it one of the nicest motels we visited on our 3 week trip. Staff at the motel were very friendly, gave us great detailed advice on where to eat and what was on offer in the area. This was very handy especially after all the earthquakes... More

As other reviews indicate, the CPoC is clean, efficient, pleasant. Owners are thoughtful and friendly. I would return and recommend it to others. More

We had the 1 bedroom with the bedroom upstairs, 2 flat screen tvs, lots of room with a small kitchen area. The room was very clean and well kept, as usual with New Zealand, the owners were very friendly and helpful, especially pointing out the quake red zone and what is open. More

Great location. Jeff gives excellent information. Cofortable, clean rooms with nice leather chairs for lounging. Great find. More

Really nice accommodation - huge room. Very clean and tidy. The staff were very helpful. In light of the earthquake and all the local businesses that are closed, they had put together a map showing all restaurants that are still open - which was very helpful. It was within walking distance to the City - although there unfortunately isn't much... More

Jeff and Naomi are exceptional hosts, very friendly and helpful. The hotel room we stayed in was spacious and very clean and had 2 lovely leather armchairs that were a welcome place to relax after we had explored the city area. A visit to Christchurch at the moment is a sobering reality check. The hotel is very close to the... More

The short version: this is the ideal Kiwi motel, with the friendliest and most helpful owners I've ever encountered, heaps of useful information and great restaurant recs provided, beds that carefully tread the line between the soft-and-squashy Kiwi preference and the firm-and-supportive international style, and Internet included. The long version: I first encountered Naomi & Jeff on Twitter following the... More

First time staying in a Motel and couldn't fault it. The in room DVD Player was a nice touch. Any request that I had Jeff & Naomi were happy to help. Good base for my day trip to Kaikoura. Very central to the Red Zone so be prepared for seeing the damage first hand. Would definitely recommend to friends. More
