I just popped in while driving by to get a room for the night. The hosts were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Grounds were very attractive (great for families). The room was very nice, tidy, clean and very comfortable. It certainly had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable as well. I'll certainly be back the... More

Brilliant accommodation in Christchurch, a short walk from anywhere, particularly the newly lively Riccarton. Rooms are what you would expect, very well maintained and clean with everything you would need. Depending on the time of year, the heater does come in handy. I have to mention the owners - great fun, helpful and can't do enough for you.

Easily accessible by bus (Red Bus Metro 3), half hourly from the airport. We stayed here at the start and finish of our NZ visit. Very helpful owners. Good location, quiet even though it is near a busy roundabout. Easy access to the botanical gardens and town through the park. Large comfortable room with fully equipped kitchen. Ample parking.

Stayed here for one night last week and it was great. I was worried that it would be noisy but the double glazing did its'job well and I had a very peaceful night's sleep. The room decor is a bit tired and dated but the furnishings are fresh, clean and modern and plenty of space. I had the cooked breakfast... More

We stayed here twice in our recent trip to NZ. It is ideally located for a city property.It can be easily accessed by road and its closeness to the centre enables you to leave your car at the hotel and walk through the Botanic gardens to the centre in only 10 minutes. You can then easily drive out of the... More

We spent one night there. The room was well sized with a small kitchinette. The bathroom was very small as well and a little outdated. Apart from that, the bed, tv and furniture was brand new and very good. As it was our last night in New Zealand, we were really tired. Because of that we decided to have dinner... More

The room is small. The bed in the living room is the only other bed available. It takes up most of the living area. Bathroom very small. Kitchen small. But they did let us check in even after midnight. No free wifi. It is right on the park so that was the good part.

Hosts garaged motorcycle while on an overnight trip on the TransAlpine train to Greymouth - and included drop-off and pick-up from the Railway Station. Excellent service and the motel is in a good location - close to the City but also close to the station.

Great central location, close to Riccarton Road eating and shopping. The place looks a bit old but clean and tidy with a nice welcome. Unfortunately the Friday night hoons 'cruising' for several hours late at night made this stay unpleasant.
