It was very convenient to the CBD, local supermarket, and airport. The receptionist was very helpful and went to the extra distance to help us with the TV reception. The motel's reception office externally looks terrific with hanging baskets full of flowers. The rooms are very clean, although quite basic. The laundry facilities require coins to operate. And the bed is comfortable. We did like the dining table with four chairs - a nice touch to actually be able to eat our meals at a table.
The material cloth provided to wash our dishes seemed a bit unhygienic to me, as it was always dripping wet all day long. I would highly recommend that a fresh disposable cloth is provided for every new guest to use, as they tend to dry easily between dishwashing sessions and don't get smelly.

Excellent central location; free convenient parking right by our unit; room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. All that we could need in the city centre. We were only there one night, but I inadvertently left my hearing aid behind, plugged into its charger. Staff were terrific: room staff found it, then management contacted me promptly by phone (although I missed the call and the voicemail - my fault) and then still somehow recognised us as we returned later to pick up our vehicle and dashed out to return it personally. Really admirable, and very much appreciated, considering I hadn’t even noticed yet that I’d lost it!

Spacious room. Good WiFi. Light and airy, lots of windows to open, convenient little kitchenette. Heated towel rail in kitchen. Convenient laundry facilities - $4 for washing, $4 for dryer, free detergent (powder). Very unusual shower, but did the job. Staff were lovely, swapped my note for $2 coins (for the laundry) and gave me more milk when I asked for it. Parking was very easy, and location was walkable to centre. I would stay again.
Very minor: Tap in bathroom was rather loose. Whole bathroom unit is quite dated, but does the job just fine, still very functional.

My check-in and out times were both out of hours but the correspondence from Jane was clear, efficient and welcoming for confirmations and instructions. Correspondence was always quickly acknowledged or replied to. The location was excellent - only a 900metre walk to turn to Cathedral Square. I had a car and it was easy to find, access and I always had a parking space. The accommodation was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet and excellent value. This was a final few days before flying home to the UK having been in NZ for 4 months. I was grateful that my room was on the ground floor due the weight and quantity of my luggage. Jane even let me borrow some scales to check my luggage weight. It was a perfect end to my trip.
Nothing not to,like.

Great central location. Free offstreet parking in safe area. Walk or short drive to all central interest areas, shopping, cafes, restaurants. Good size room. Great heatpump..we used during our stay. Love the free wifi & tv channel choices. Good kitchen facilities. Very comfortable bed & choice of pillows. We used bookme site to get discount for Christchurch Gondola..which orovided fab views but awful overpriced food..great coffee though I thought
Ugly dirty aircond unit..no longer in use? Seen outside one of the windows. Better to completely clean that space. Would be great improvement. Bathroom a little dated, still useable.

The property was exceptionally clean, it was very comfortable (electric blankets were on the bed). It was very spacious and decorated well. The bathroom had lots of space alongside a heated towel rail and a blow heater. There was plenty of room in the car park and it was a quick ten minute walk into the centre of town. The property also has Netflix in all of the rooms.
There is nothing that I could say I did not like.

It's a perfect 15-minute easy flat walk into the town. The room was spacious, clean, and easy to find. I liked that my car was easy to access, although I didn't need to use it. (I could see it from my room.) I ended up checking in late and just rang the number, and the lady was polite, efficient, and kind checking me in.
If I had to pick something, it would be having to carry my case up a small flight of stairs, but that's being super picky.

Walking distance to the city and conveniently accessible to nearby restaurant. An affordable stay and it was a good unit and facilities. The staffs were friendly and honest as I accidentally left my mobile phone in the unit but they messaged me to contact them. Have called them that I will be back this Friday to get my phone soon when we are back to Christchurch. Really appreciate it, thank you so much. 😊

Great value for money and in a fantastic location, you can take a bus to the city center and the place is walking distance from the Christchurch cathedral and the Centre mall. The property is tidy and well maintained and is simple to drive in and out from it. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, containing a few chairs, desk area and nice comfy beds. The rooms also have all the necessary amenities and facilities. The motel is suitable for solo travelers and also for couples and families, great for a few nights stay. You can generally get great and cheap prices if you book well in advance, but if you book a few days before, you shouldn’t expect huge discounts or competitive prices. Overall, I would recommend a visit to this motel.
I didn’t see any restaurants or breakfast venues on site

Conveniently located and quiet, within walking distance of the centre. Friendly staff, clean 2 bedroom unit with full kitchen and shower room. Air-conditioning in living room, so left bedroom doors open as it was quite warm outside. Free parking over 4 nights was great.
The fire alarm went off on two out of four evenings due to someone cooking in the unit, but the owners came to turn it off within a few minutes. There is a sign on the wall that says to make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated when cooking.
