Chardonnay Motel lodge is conveniently placed for people with their own transport, not far from the airport but also "far enough" (?? 6 to 8 km's ?? so there is NO aircraft noise... plus there is a free airport shuttle available in need), and just off the main "through-route" for travellers. There is a lovely restaurant immediately adjacent which we... More

This is a perfect place to stay in Christchurch. Close to airport and has free shuttle service.

Wonderful friendly service, can't do enough for you. The rooms and facilities are spacious and extremely comfortable. We stay... More

There was a bit of road noise from the main road but the setting and gardens easily made up for this. It is a few miles out of Christchurch centre but we found... More

We had a one-night stop in this motel on our way from Mount Cook to Kaikoura. We arrived late a night and found a note placed on the reception door telling us our room number (with key inside it) and a phone number to contact in case needed. It was quite an efficient service. The studio room was spacious and... More

Stayed here for 2 nights, on arrival the rooms we booked online were not available so our children had to share a queen bed instead of 2 singles. Not a major problem but no apology given and we had no other option as motel was full. Room was compact but clean it was just the noise of the road which... More
