Clean rooms, well maintained. About 20 minutes walk into central Christchurch but not much enroute. Bus from airport stops less than 5 minutes walk away. Staff all very friendly and helpful. There are no kitchen facilities but some crockery is provided in the room with a fridge, kettle and microwave There was some noise from the neighbours who came back to the accommodation late one night. Overall however, we were happy with our stay.

Arrived with very large loaded trailer that I had emailed them about. The man in office came straight out and helped stop traffic so I could back into an allocated space. Later he noticed liquid leaking from ute and came and told me. I had already checked it was condensate from AC unit but really appreciated it. We also observed him helping carry bags and loading them into vehicles for guests. Best we have encountered.

We stay here whenever we stay in Chch. It’s central location is great for us whenever have a sports tournament to attend. It’s clean, comfy & perfect for families. Only a short stroll to the Margaret Mahy Playground & the CBD.

It would be great to have assigned car parks for each unit. After a long day at a sports tournament, it would be perfect to arrive back without having to find a car park (because someone else has parked outside your unit whilst away from the motel). This a small thing, but would make the stay perfect.

Exceptionally clean. I stay in hotels and motels often. The Bella Vista motel is of a higher standard of facilities than an 5* hotel I stayed in last month. Beautiful shower room. Attention to details. Immaculate. Quiet ( its near to a busy road but not noticeable) Excellent 👌

No where to wash my dishes? The room was smaller than I'd anticipated but that wasn't an issue.

I thought the location was good and the apartment was clean it had a decent kitchen with a dishwasher and the lounge was a good size with plenty of space, it also had 3 bedroom's for 5 people which worked really well for our group.

It was pretty cold when we arrived and the heaters were insufficient for the temperature, it took a while to warm the space up so we left the heating on over night and that made a huge difference.

Handy location, easy to find and access of a busy road warm unit in a very frosty ChCh -4 deg morning staff where friendly and made sure I could connect my EV to the charger OK. nice shower and very comfortable bed.

my only small complaint was the lighting, the main room was two bright with the lights on, while the bathroom the lights over the sink didn't work so had to use the heat lamp light, no real problem.

All the amenities were functioning. The room size was good. The hot tub in the room was a nice touch and utilised by all. There were plenty of nice restaurants , convenience stores and attractions nearby. Parking was available and convenient. The staff members were attentive and helpful and gave us some great tips for sightseeing and shopping.

Carrying luggage up 2 flights is quite a task.

Very comfortable, apartments had everything we needed, regularly maintained, staff were wonderful and helpful, location was perfect, a short 15 minute walk into the city, central to surrounding areas, spa bath a bonus, a wonderful haven at the end of each conference day.

Minor issues - The laundry opened too late and closed too early. Lots of stairs in the apartment. Electric blanket wasn’t working, no electric blanket for one room.

Another great stay at a Bella Vista. We received a very friendly welcome , a complementary small bottle of milk. We were in room 2, set out for the less abled. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. There wasn’t any road noise. Good location it takes about a 20 minute walk to the centre of Christchurch CBD.
