We stayed here just for one night in November. Their fancy website promises, amongst other, free broadband wifi, which we needed for all kind of things (bookings for our journey etc). After arrival it turned out to be only 50mb (which is nothing these days), and you pay extra for more needed. This was truly in contradiction with their marketing.... More

The good - spacious and great wireless internet connection that didn't drop out. Plenty of towels that were clean and fresh milk offered, parking no problem and a good iron and board that made short work of creases. It has a tired exterior, but the interior is clean and they obviously work hard at keeping it just so. The average... More

We chose to stay here while our house was having EQC repairs done. We stayed for 10 days. Our family of four chose to stay as it was close to our kids school and an area we knew well so convenient for us. We found the whole experience to be pretty average. Our room was in need of a good... More

My family visited Christchurch for the UC graduation ceremony in April. We choose this motel because it is located in a quiet residential suburb, handy to the airport and main road north, but also within walking distance to my son who now lives in Avonhead. We particularly enjoyed the convenience of shopping at Countdown on Church corner without having to... More

We stayed at the Avonhead Lodge Motel in March this year for 2 weeks while our home was being repaired from earthquake damage. We stayed in one of the newly renovated2 bedroom units, was just lovely - it even had a fully fenced PRIVATE backyard, perfect for my 2 kids. The owners were very friendly, always going the extra mile... More

The lady at the front counter needs to learn to serve there customers in a decent way, she needs to be a bit polite. I personally wouldnt... More

We stayed with friends at the motel, occupying a number of rooms that look onto the courtyard. It was quiet despite a main road at the front of the motel (makes it easy to get to), and each room having their own little garden provided a bit more privacy from anyone out enjoying the outdoor tables in the courtyard. The... More

The staff here were wonderful, they were extremely helpful. They really look after their guests! They saved me from staying at an AWFUL backpackers - the racecourse backpackers. The room was great!!! It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. It was warm and had a massive TV. They also supplied coffee, tea, hot chocolate and milk. The location was great,... More

Sally & Allan thank you for your wonderful hospitality for letting us stay and sharing a room with others on the night of the Feb 22nd earthquake. The rooms are clean and even though we had no power, Allan dragged out the old gas BBQ and we managed to cook up a storm for the 50+ guests that you housed... More
