We stayed at Northcote Motor Lodge for a week and were surprised to find that we did not get the room service that we are normally accustomed to - just a fresh towel and the rubbish bin emptied each day. Parking was definitely tight and if you arrived back late in the evening that was tough. The bed was comfortable... More

I just wanted a bed for the night in the Northern side of Christchurch and this motel I would definately recommend. Good value for money, clean and tidy. Would stay there again if I needed to stay on this side of town. Close to some cafes and restaurants and a 15 minute walk to Northlands Mall and plenty more bars... More

We got this one within 10 min of someone else cancelling a reservation.. yes it is that tight. Room was very... More

We were placed on the ground level. The unit was compact, but had all that we needed. The parking was a little tight, but fortunately there weren't too many people staying at the time. The unit was clean, and the bed was comfortable.

When we arrived we walked into a freezing cold room as the door was wide open, it did take us a while to warm the room up and when we did it was pleasant. The bed was comfy and it was close to town. I had to go to the office a couple of times and each time i felt... More

My wife and I regularly travel to Christchurch to visit our daughter who is studying there. We have used several accommodation providers and now prefer to stay here because of the location (between friends and our daughter) and the quality of the accommodation which we always find clean, economical and comfortable, being next door to a service station it is...

We were surprised by the clean, spacious rooms after staying in some shockers on our budget holiday! The prices are very reasonable and Dave and Morag were very friendly and helpful. Also, its only about 10 minutes from the airport, which is great.

I stayed at this motel while visiting grandchildren nearby. Dave & Morag were so helpful & friendly. They even shared their lunch with me. I had no vehicle & so spent a lot of time at the motel. It was lovely. I would recommend this place to everyone.
