Our family of 4 stayed at Camelot in April 2013 for 19 nights while Fletchers were repairing our home after the earthquakes. I can not speak highly enough of the service we received. Sue and Trevor (the Managers) are the loveliest people. Nothing was ever a problem with them. The house keeping was always to a very high standard and... More

Received excellent service from front desk staff and many eating options. Clean rooms, nothing fancy but everything you need in a motel room. No pool really, it is tiny and spa is essentially non-existent. There was construction going on when we checked in but did not interfere with our stay. We walked to Botanic Gardens and Sea Container mall but... More

Wonderful staff and owners at this property. From the minute you walk in to check in you feel welcomed and wanted. The property offers great amenities like a well stocked kitchen, a laundry facility and very clean rooms.

We were a large complicated family group and Penny and Brian coped with us all and went out of their way to be helpful - even to the point of giving us some breakfast supplies when all the shops were closed for the public holidays! I am very happy to recommend the Camelot as an excellent, comfortable and friendly place... More

We were a large family travelling for weeks and making our budget go a long way. Camelot was comfy and clean and great for our needs. We enjoyed it a lot .The kids enjoyed swimming in the hot tub outside.

One of the most important part of staying in a motel is the team that look after you. We were greeted and given tips and advice on where to go and given clear directions by a friendly motel manager. The room was good with a King Bed and was self contained with instructions on how to turn the fridge off... More

I booked with the Camelot as they were able comfortably accommodate a group of 6 men down in Christchurch for a Motorsport event making sure they had their space but also keeping the cost minimal, I found it very hard to secure what we needed in CHCH due to the disastrous events but the Camelot sure did bend over backwards...

This is the first time I have posted a comment on tripadvisor and felt I had to place some feedback for an excellent stay at the Camelot Motor Lodge in Christchurch. We have been fortunate enough to travel around New Zealand over the last six years. I can honestly say that Camelot is the best ever motel we have ever... More

I stayed in an apartment equipped for 7 people.. it had 3 single beds downstairs and a double bed and two singles upstairs. The vaulted ceilings meant that it was quite hard to heat as most of the hot air escaped and it was a large space to heat. The bathroom was very basic and if all the beds had... More

We had a wonderful stay here. The real plus factor was the owners who were extremely helpful with suggestions for sightseeing etc- nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely and the location very convenient, with good restaurants close by and only a short walk into the centre of Christchurch. Excellent!
