We stayed at the Camelot for two nights at the start of our holiday in New Zealand. We were very impressed with the amount of space in our two bedroom apartment. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The upper level was quite hot during the day, but cooled off nicely in time for sleeping at night. The downstairs bedroom... More

We needed a large four bedroom Motel unit that would accommodate our extended Family who came from Canada, and we wanted to all be together so that we could make the most of the time. From the time of checking in till we left we had excellent service and must say that Penny and Brian could not have done more... More

We arrived to 4 earthquakes on Dec. 23 and the owners treated us like family, inquiring after our well-being and offering us a room on the ground floor instead. The rooms were great with a separate kitchen and sitting area. Also super laundry facilities, a plus when you're traveling for extended periods of time. It was an easy walk to... More

This motel offered excellent service, from the check in on through to check out. One of those places where you truly enjoy doing business with them. The room had an upstairs bedroom, plenty of room, clean, nice kitchenette, well, you get the idea. More

We stayed at this Motel on days13 & 14 of our 25 day tour of NZ. We then came back for our last night in New Zealand before flying back to UK. Penny & Brian made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and they seemed to know everthing about Christchurch and surrouding area. The Motel complex is attractive... More

The hotel was clean, conveniently located, with all the features and facilities you would expect from such a motel. What made this exceptional was the welcome, helpfulness and friendliness of Brian and Penny, the owners. They could not have been better. We stayed trwice on our tour and our reception was great on both occasions. My wife had broken her... More

The Camelot is is quirky hotel in terms of style - faux tudor. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the location close the city centre is hard to beat. While Christchurch has suffered from significant damage due to the earthquakes the service offered by Bryan and Penny at the Camelot has not obviously not dipped from that listed in... More
