Wonderful

Great place to stay. Even when there was an issue (faulty lock on the door), they did everything they could do to fix it, eventually moving us to an upgraded room. Outstanding customer sevice
We had a pleasant stay. The room was basic but comfortable and had everything we needed. We worked all day in the room and had reliable wi-fi. It was good value.
It was a nice place to stay but another set of towels would have been appreciated. Not sure about shower, even with curtain around it water was around toilet etc which was disappointing.
The motel very happily allowed us to park our horse float and leave it for us to collect 6 hours after checkout after we had completed our business in Christchurch.
Really good location, quiet, staff good and helpful and would use again

The location was fantastic! Room was wonderful.
Only one issue, I a was travelling for work & required iron and ironing board! These weren’t in the room and I had to ask another guest to borrow them! Would have got a perfect score apart from that😞

Liked: Staff & service
The property manager was helpful. The room was very minimal. We were not comfortable in the area.
Staff was wonderful, and a clean nice place to stay after landing in Christchurch after a very long flight. Walking distance to shops and restaurants made it also convenient and there was a place to park our campervan too which was awesome.
Once I worked out the key situation, I was in a warm, clean, spacious room with modern facilities that functioned well. Having now stayed at a few places around the park, this has by far been the best. Staff were responsive to emails through the night and helped with requests. Well done!
