Arriving in Christchurch sans reservations, we cruised down Papanui Road looking at accommodation that might be a good place to stay. After trying a couple of places, we came across 'Milano' and so we drove up to reception and inquired about rooms and rates. We were shown a very nice unit and made a decision on the spot. Spacious, warm,... More

We had an excellent stay at the Milano Motor Lodge. It was easy to check in, the room was clean and there was available parking. It is located close to a great big park and near the center of town. With limited options for accommodation in Christchurch, be sure to book early. It was sold out for a number of... More

The reservation process had been very helpful, and so I was expecting a slightly warmer welcome than received. That being said, the room and amenities were of a very good standard. Comfortable and clean. We had a one bedroom suite with a spa bath. There was plenty of room for our family to fit in. Would recommend.

We spent our first night in NZ here after 34 hours of travel. It was a very pleasant spot for transitioning into our vacation. Location is really convenient; easy walk downtown. Cafe Metro nearby was a great introduction to fabulous NZ coffees. We had no complaints about our lodging and would recommend staying here.

We (two couples visiting from the USA) spent four nights at the Milano Motor Lodge, hosted by Jocelyn and Murray, and they couldn't have been more kind and helpful.

Wonderful hosts accommodated us arriving before the usual afternoon check in time. Room was small but well appointed and very quiet. There was no traffic noise even though the motel is situated on a busy road. Gardens are beautiful and and well maintained.

Thank you for taking the time to review our business, it does help us focus on what our guests want. We were sorry we didn't have a larger room for you but next time hopefully we can allocate one of our larger studios but were happy to give you an earlier check in. More

We had one night here and could not fault the place. The rooms were immaculately clean and tidy. The bed was a king size and very comfortable. Service was excellent, offered to drop us off at our function if it was raining or too cold to walk. Easy walk into the city centre. Shops; cafes and eateries within walking distance... More

I stayed in this motel for a night before flying out to Singapore. The motel was very clean, modern and comfortable. But, the real blessing were the hosts - Murray and Jocelyn.

Very clean and well maintained property with average service - not the typical, very friendly Kiwis we experienced throughout our 2 weeks in New Zealand.

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. We would like to point out that when you only book a suite that caters for 2 people and you arrive with three you won't be satisfied with the room. The king bed we have is not designed to sleep 3 people. Had we known that your daughter was travelling... More
