We stayed here for a few days on our honeymoon and holiday of a lifetime to New Zealand. The motel was very well kept and had good local amenities nearby. When we arrived, the husband and wife duo who ran the motel were there to greet us and were very helpful in giving us advice about places to visit. The... More

We recently stayed 4 nights in the access studio unit and would highly recommend this motel to anyone looking for extremely clean, well presented motel. The kitchen was well equipped as was the rest of the unit even down to the provision of make up removal wipes. The windows were double glazed to reduce traffic noise so we were able... More

I just wanted to say what a lovely place to stay , such great service and location. My partner and I stayed there for a night as we visited Christchurch for a concert recently. The room was modern and clean. Nice touch with the muffins on arrival. Everything is at your doorstep. Would stay again

One of the best motels ever expereinced. Highly recommended because of space, sound proof rooms, location, cleanliness, service, friendly staff and above all the owners hospitality. Will definitely stay again when I will visit Christchurch a year later to explore rest of the places.

I stayed overnight at the motel, and found the owners to be very friendly and helpful, but the bed wasn't very comfortable, nor were the rooms as 'soundproof' as advertised. Pillows were big and boofy and hard to get comfortable on, and the neighbours were making a fair bit of noise until the wee small hours, so sleep was rather... More

Extremely clean and comfortable. Perfect location. Lovely, helpful, friendly hosts and staff. Picked up from the airport and was also able to hire a car. One stop shop! Even though it is on a main road, we barely noticed as so quiet. Will definitely stay again.

Modern, clean, and tidy. A very comfortable nights stay while in Christchurch for work. The Host provided fruit and a muffin upon check in. Fully air conditioned and sound proofed as well. I will definitely be staying here from now on.
