We stayed 2 nights and found the room to be very well equipped with a separate bathroom and kitchen. It was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The location was good - just a short drive to restaurants, shops and the CBD.

We travel to Christchurch regularly and since the earthquakes it has been difficult to get good value accommodation. This place certainly ticks all our boxes. Very friendly owners, the units are spacious and have a very comfortable bed. Even though they are on the main road, we heard hardly any noise and slept very well. Small kitchenette but had everything... More

It's lovely to have a motel offering seperate bedroom and living area a fully equipped kitchenette a dining area and seating area. It has generous size bathroom with a good shower pressure and spa bath. Though a wee bit stark in the decor for my liking they are very clean and work well. I was concerned about the potential road... More

The proprietors of this motel have something special going for them - they are just those rare hosts you come across every now and again who get it right 100% of the time. The accommodation was nice and pleasant and well appointed, and in a city that is a little shaky they make it seem OK by doing a range... More

We found Abbella one of the best accommodations we have ever stayed in. The service was really friendly, helpful and informative. They even lent us an umbrella as we walked to have dinner, as it looked like it could rain. The rooms very tastefully decorated, and the most spotlessly clean I have ever come across. We had concerns when we... More

Had some washing to do, which would have taken a long time to dry in the smallish dryer in the guest laundry but the hostess put our washing in her own dryer... More

We had a lovely time here at the end of 10 days in NZ. Close to Northlands shopping complex which was great for a leisurely shop or movie. Rooms were beautifuly furnished and exceptional clean as were the grounds. Gay and Roger were outstanding with their wonderful knowledge and suggestions to enhance our experience. Nothing was too much trouble for... More

We stayed in the bottom floor two bedroom apartment, small kitchen, well stocked, nice bathroom with bath, roomy and warm, with dehumidifier which was great. Really nice stay and we were surprised how quiet it was considering how close it was to both main busy main roads. Nice gardens, clean and well maintained. Excellent price, would definately stay again.

We were delayed flying into Christchurch and e-mailed them from LAX, they said no problem, unit #3, will leave room unlocked, lights on, key on table and milk in refirgerator for coffee. See you in morning. Good location north end of town but no problem finding our way around. Comfortable room and adequate parking.
