Booked this motel through the Qantas website. Stayed two nights. Arrived late. Emailed prior and arranged for late check-in. The room was modern with good bathroom facilities and the bed was comfortable. Hot water ran almost instantly. The room had a "heat pump" or reverse cycle air conditioner which was great for the cold mornings. Bed made up during the... More

Handy location on the main road into Riccarton. The road noise could be a problem for some but we just closed the windows. The price was very reasonable and the service was fantastic with the owner showing us our room and giving us fresh milk. We had an upstairs room which was no issue for us, though for elderly or...

We stayed at the 298 Westside Motor Lodge for three nights. The rooms were very modern and spotless with beautiful grounds. The hotel was in close proximity to the city bus lines. Several of the booking sites (not this hotels) state that there is free airport transfer which is not the case. The hotel offers 200MB of Wi-Fi which did... More

We stayed at this place our last night in New Zealand. We were just looking for a reasonable place to crash. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, walking us to our room and showing us how to use the amenities. They even gave us milk for our coffee. Our room was a studio suite, with a small kitchen.... More

Stayed here during my first visit in New Zealand. Arrived at midnight, Kim (the owner) personally came and fetch us. She also helped us carry our luggages up the stairs. Very nice, clean place with just walking distance to the malls and convenient shops. Kim even makes good suggestion regarding tours and drove us to the Riccarton Sunday Market. The... More

Christchurch was our final destination in NZ after having driven 4,500km all over the North and South Islands for 3 weeks.This place was clean, spacious and had 2 bedrooms which were really good for catching up on lost sleep. This was what we needed to recover before going on our 20 hour flight back. We booked for 3 nights and... More

We were in Christchurch for a stopover and had to leave early the next morning. Everything about this hotel was awesome except for one incident which I'll share last. But from the moment we entered the lobby, we were attended to with courtesy and care. Our 2-bedroom accommodation was very clean and nice. Loved the a/c and heating. There was... More

We stayed one night before a flight. The location was excellent, close to the airport, and on a main room so easy to get to. The room was spacious, quiet and had a small kitchen area like most NZ motels. The spa bath was huge and relaxing. We walked about 20-30min to westfield shopping mall and had a good cheap... More

Found this motel as one arguably closest to the airport and hence recommended for families/friends who'd want to fly-in/fly-out of Christchurch without the worries of airport transfers. The hotel is on riccarton road and a short distance away from malls and restaurants in the region. The motel is (of course) family run and well maintained though the outdoors are a... More
