I am doing hotel business. This time my families travelled in New Zealand, Christchurch. We arrived late in the evening but the manager still waiting for us. Escorting us to the room. The room is very clean and comfortable. Since we had contacted each other before we came here, therefore the manager even prepared some snacks for us because we... More

This was our second visit to Christchurch as part of our overall seventeen day holiday in New Zealand. We received a very friendly welcome from Sandy and was pleasantly surprised and grateful to be informed that we had been upgraded to two rooms with connecting doors. It was greatly appreciated by my husband,two daughters and myself. The rooms were very... More

The Cranford Oak Motel is one of the most delightful places we stayed in during a short visit to the South Island of NZ in January 2012. The owners of the motel, Sandy and Greg, were so receptive to our needs and welcomed us with absolute courtesy and kindness. Their commitment to assisting us with further travel arrangements and connections... More

After looking at quite a few motels we chose to stay at Cranford Oak Motel whilst our home was being repaired after the Christchurch earthquakes so we did not have to travel far to get there. We were made very welcome and after 5 weeks with Sandy & Greg we felt almost like family. Our room was quite spacious and... More

We visited Christchurch with 2 kids. We had booked a one bedroom - we got upgraded to 2 studios with connecting doors. It was great to have 2 baths, 2 kitchenettes etc. The rooms were very clean, nice decor and came with free wired internet! The hosts were very helpful and accommodated our requests!

One of a series of short reviews after a South Island road trip! Great helpful people, free internet terminal at reception, great studio rooms (not huge but big enough and including a two seater couch), everything provided in the bathrooms, we paid $10 more to have a room with a spa bath. Stayed here a couple of years ago. As... More

The ambience and rooms were quite spacious, very clean and tidy, comfortable and offered all the luxuries a hotel can offer. This hotel went above and beyond all our needs and truly made this experience memorable! We recommend this to anyone.... we will... More

Nice, clean and comfortable well appointed unit. Everything the website promised was a reality. Welcoming hosts, that made us feel as though we were the most important people they had book in that day! ( We were not the only one's staying). Always nice to know you matter. I rang ahead to say we were going to be late in,... More

If you've just got off the plane in Christchurch, stay here, if only for the shower. Best thing ever. We only stayed one night before going to Kaikoura, but this was the best choice we could have made. Although the area is lacking in eateries since the centre is currently not there, you can get a bus, or walk 20mins-ish... More
