We started and finished our time in New Zealand at the Camelot Motor Lodge. Brian & Penny Davidson were excellent hosts, so very helpful to us Minnesotans, in New Zealand for the first time. They were always friendly and even helped us with a computer problem. Rooms were clean and comfortable beds.

Prior to leaving on our campervan trip around the south island, we had a chance to stay a couple of nights here and visit Christchurch. The location was great for us to walk around to different sites. It felt like a little home--super clean and super cozy. The unit we were in was large, lots of windows, a kitchenette, and... More

We stayed in the 2-bedroom apartment and a studio. Both were very comfortable and the apartment especially was spacious and well-furnished. The carpet was a little worn and could do with replacing but it's not major. The location is handy to the city and amenities and the good kitchen facilities means you can cook a decent meal and save some... More

Our room was clean, spacious and a good value. We arrived after the office was closed and the key was in the box just like they said it would be. The castle motif was a little cheesy, but nothing else bad to say about it. In the morning, the staff was helpful with maps and recommendations on what to see.

We stayed 2 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. The rooms and main living area were very spacious, The hotel and the decor is a little cheesy with the Camelot theme. Furniture, bedspreads, bathrooms were all pretty old and worn Internet was free, but slow and problematic. Parking was very tight. The kids liked it mainly because of its size,... More

We were given an upgrade to a three bedroom suite...was a great hotel with all the amenities. Christchurch and New Zealand in general was quite a magical place. Great Thai food close by and down the street was a great Italian restaurant! 5 to 10 minutes away from the city center where you will have a blast shopping and exploring... More

I agree with the general vibe of the comments here. It's in a good location and the staff are really friendly and helpful, giving great recommendations for places to eat out. I only stayed for one night, but made use of the 'Free Breakfast' deal currently advertised on Trip Advisor. I'd definitely be happy to stay here again. It's worth... More
