Ian the Manager was extremely helpful, rooms were very comfortable, rooms were also very quiet. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return

Our trip through NZ last fall was wonderful and easy to find accommodation despite the Rugby World Cup. Christchurch was the opposite. The devestating earthquakes they incurred in 2011 had wiped out 4400 hotel rooms, and with engineers, geologists and deconstruction crews invading town, hotel rooms were in short supply. The owners Ian and Heather went out of their way... More

We stayed at this motel as I had to have surgery at Southern Cross Hospital which is just a few hundred meters next door. The staff were very friendly and accomodating despite having to work out of what was a motel room due to the collapse of the main office building during the earthquake. The rest of the motel was...

Ian and Heather our hosts, were always very helpful and accommodating with our frequent enquiries about things to do and places to eat. We recommend trying Speights Ale House further down Bealey Ave as a great place for dinner... More
