The first room I had was upstairs, which was a bit of an issue for me, as stairs are not so easy to negotiate. The room was clean, comfortable bed, good shower, TV, basic kitchenette, iron and ironing board. The Hosts gave me a City Map which proved very helpful. On my second stay, I had a ground floor room, which was even better! It had a massive bathroom! Only downside was that the TV didn't work the evening I arrived, but the Hosts brought a brand new one to the room the next morning and fitted it up. I was also given a complimentary Cappuccino! Overall, a good, clean, very conveniently located Motel.

Nothing.

Location: a key bonus, very easy walk to everything (eateries, attractions, shopping, markets). Room: very attractive, comfortable, immaculate. New bathroom, kitchenette very convenient for making our own breakfast tho a delicious breakfast was available at a reasonable cost. Lovely, friendly, helpful manager. One of our favourite stays during our three week holiday. We would go back in a blink.

There was nothing we didn't like. Everything was great.

the room itself was comfortable, clean, and spacious. good shower. it was nice to be able to leave our car parked there for a couple of hours after checking out.

it was hard to get a clear description of breakfast ahead of time during the booking process. breakfast itself proved to be competent, but uninspiring: there are much more interesting options within easy walking distance. NZD$14 for continental breakfast, $18 for cooked to order.

Amazing location. I had three places I needed to go in the city and all locations were within walking distance. Rooms are far enough off the road that you don't hear any traffic. Love accomodation that provides Netflix!

Maybe could do with un upgrade at some stage but for the price we were very happy

Very clean, & comfortable B&B. Our studio was in a small quaint group, centrally located within walking distance to the CBD, Botanical Gardens, cafes, restaurants, historic buildings & shops. It offered everything we needed. The iconic tram passes right by the front door! Highly recommended. Wished we could have stayed longer. We'd stay there again if back in Christchurch.

The location was perfect for accessing the hospital and Ranui House and very close to the city centre. All these were in walking distance and the offstreet parking was a real bonus. The room was clean, comfortable bed and loved the double opening doors onto the wee balcony. Excellent shower pressure and hot water. It was a cold week but the heating in the rooms was very good.

Everything was great :-)

We have stayed here 6 times now and it is always the same great service and stay . We are already booked for next year's Electric avenue concert. The hosts are fabulous people who have accommodated our large vehicles and trailer with no problem. Also a lovely breakfast, cooked and continental on site. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Have stayed several times, and the Grange Motel is our first choice for accommodation in Christchurch. Comfortable, well equipped apartment, walking distance to CBD and friendly owners/staff. Highly recommended

Parking can be a little pressured but staff always sort any issues. I've never not been able to park on site.

Lovely large, tiled bathroom with large shower and space on vanity beside the sink to put items. Great location which is a very short walk to Hagley Park events area for a concert. Very comfortable large bed and pillows. Clean and well maintained.

Parking a bit tight but to be expected for the location and was still fine for an SUV on a very busy night. Netflix initially didn't work as needed new batteries in the remote, but we pointed this out to the staff and they were replaced immediately.

The location was perfect, easy walk to cbd. Staff are very friendly and the room was just what we needed. The bed and breakfast was in the beautiful old house, and we were tucked around the back in the motel, but had the house in front, which is great to see in chch.

The builders starting work at 6.45am right next do, but looks like that project will be finished soon
