Just what I needed!
Pros:

After a long day on the road I arrived late with a space reserved for my traveling van comes off in their secure car park. Room warm and cozy ready for my rest.

Exceptionally comfortable bed saw me sleep until after 8am which I never usually do.

A well prepared continental breakfast has just been completed ready to hit the road again.

Great location. This is my new central city Christchurch accommodation! Cheers.

Great place to stay in central Christchurch
Pros:

Check in was efficient and friendly. Our room had an excellent shower and had good heating. The kitchen had everything we needed for easy meals but there is also plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from in the area. We would stay again and recommend.

Central to all the activities we wanted to do. Whether it was walking around city centre, getting on the tram or taking the car to the gondola, Antarctic Centre, etc. The unit was clean & tidy with plenty of room to move, with all day sun. Lovely & toastie. The hosts had a wealth of knowledge, so thank you for having us

Pros:

I liked the location in a quiet area of the city on a lightly trafficked main road. A 10 minute walk to the centre of Christchurch, 3-5 minutes to several restaurants and, though it’s not my thing, a stone’s throw from the casino. The couple who own/operate the motel were very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Nicely appointed clean and spacious unit with kitchenette and high water pressure shower helped make my stay very enjoyable.

Pros:

Extremely noisy location. Between traffic noise and the casino I think I got 3 hours of sleep. The casino feels that 5 am is the time to smooth their gravel parking lot. So imagine someone driving a diesel truck, dragging a metal pan over the gravel, for an hour and you hear it with all the windows closed and curtains drawn
