Used this motel only because it was part of a national chain advertised in a NZ brochure. The gentleman on the front desk was helpful, informative and recommended a nice restaurant not too far away ( the fox & the ferret). Accommodation was basic but clean and since we were only sleeping in it rather than living in it, was... More

Thank you for your comments and glad you enjoyed your meal down the road. Unfortunately since Christchurch City was damaged with the earthquake there is no doubt Riccarton road has become very busy. Regards More

We recently stayed at this motel for several nights and found it to be good clean accommodation with everything that we required for a comfortable stay. The location is good with good shopping and food outlets nearby. The thing that most impressed us was the help and advice we received from the Hosts.

We were not to sure what to expect with this Motel. On review we thought it was basic, but was sound and reasonably good. PROS it is is walking distance to Riccarton Westfield. Also, there are a number of parks and playgrounds in the nearby area for the kids. The double rooms are quite spacious for a Motel, and kitchen... More

Thank you for taking the time to comment on our premises. Your comment about the dripping taps is noted - always trying to fix any problems like this but occassionally some are missed. We do need to update our website as the playground has now gone and being updated with furniture - which we are waiting for. We also appreciate... More

I stayed here for 4 days with my family in a 2 bedroom unit. The unit was a good size for the 4 of us. Hot water was a problem - it kept running out! Unit seemed clean enough. The motel is on a busy road (Riccarton Road), it was very difficult to turn onto the road due to heavy... More

It's difficult finding accommodation for a group of six so it's nice to find something that caters for it. Two bedroom unit was OK, food etc. within walking distance. Pretty noisy for me as I don't ive in the city, the main road near by is very busy. Good info re things to do from the staff. We only stayed... More

This motel was booked for me by a family member. She was aware that I would be requiring a nice hot bath at the end of a couple of long days travelling. Yes this unit had a bath but not enough hot water for more than one person to use it!!! I found the room quite stale on arrival which... More

My experience at this motel was appalling. The unit was dirty and smelly, as was the office. There was no hot water to shower!! I had to wait until the morning for a shower after a long da of travelling. This would be the worst motel I have ever stayed in. The only beauty of the entire experience was that... More

We stayed in this motel for one night, a group of four woman adults. The unit was smelly and stale as well as being very poorly supplied. (two flannels for 4 guests), lack of pillows and the pillows provided were pathetically thin and dirty, with some of them being without pillowslips. The two spare pillows in the wardrobe were unwashed... More
