Hi everyone, the quality and cleanliness of the rooms were just horrible, i stayed here for 3 weeks, and just couldn't bare the stains on there bedsheets and the moulds in the shower. The lady at the front counter needs to learn to serve there customers in a decent way, she needs to be a bit polite. I personally wouldnt... More

We stayed with friends at the motel, occupying a number of rooms that look onto the courtyard. It was quiet despite a main road at the front of the motel (makes it easy to get to), and each room having their own little garden provided a bit more privacy from anyone out enjoying the outdoor tables in the courtyard. The... More

The staff here were wonderful, they were extremely helpful. They really look after their guests! They saved me from staying at an AWFUL backpackers - the racecourse backpackers. The room was great!!! It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. It was warm and had a massive TV. They also supplied coffee, tea, hot chocolate and milk. The location was great,... More

Sally & Allan thank you for your wonderful hospitality for letting us stay and sharing a room with others on the night of the Feb 22nd earthquake. The rooms are clean and even though we had no power, Allan dragged out the old gas BBQ and we managed to cook up a storm for the 50+ guests that you housed... More

We booked the 2 bedroom motel and were very pleased with the spacious , clean unit with a very well equipped kitchen. Place is cosy and has a beautiful garden.Recommended,

It's not five star. But the owners will make you feel so warm and cosy you will rather be nowhere else. Quiet and a little out of town but great for an early flight. Spotless and cosy units with nice garden aspect. Close to shops. And just lovely, helpful owners - hard to escape a nice converstaion sometimes! Not a... More

We chose Avonhead Lodge after reading other reviews and it seemed that it would be a lovely place to stay for our overnight visit. However, on arriving, we found that the motel was old and not at all what we had expected. The hosts were very lovely but the standard of accommodation was not as it had seemed on the... More

This is the second time we have used Avonhead Lodge as a base while staying in Christchurch for a family reunion. Alan and Sally are great hosts and went out of their way to make sure we were all grouped together (3 families) in adjoining units. We made good use of the tables and chairs on the grass area around... More

My family and I stayed there with Sally and Alan for 5 nights originally. We were planning to stay one more night there on the way out of Christchurch, but as we liked the place and Christchurch so much we cut short our stay in Queenstown to come back early. We stayed in Novotels in the rest of NZ and... More
