We spent a total of eleven days at Avenue Motel. It was a very comfortable stay and had everything we needed. The owners were extremely welcoming and friendly. Rooms are large and have small kitchens with fridge, microwave, electric hob, oven, and all the necessary utensils and crockery. There was a flat screen TV in the room with Sky Sports... More

We stayed one night at the Avenue Motel and had an excellent stay. The rooms are large, clean and well equipped and the motel is quiet even though it is on the main road. The walls might be a bit thin or our neighbours could have been hard of hearing, but it wasn't a major issue. It is very close... More

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The room was perfectly clean and secure. Free Wifi was a great bonus. There were certainly no frills, but it was suitable for a stop to see the penguins. It is a bit out of the main town centre but we had a car so it was no worries. Only about 5-10 minute... More

My husband and I stopped here for the night on our way through to Christchurch. Good off street parking. No traffic noise . Very comfortable but it does need updating. Served the purpose for cheaper accommodation.

We do a lot of travelling and it is really nice to go to this motel and feel like it is another home you have, that you didn't know about. The managers are very friendly and helpful, the kids are cute and funny. Some rooms are nice and large, especially for the price. The rooms are always clean and tidy... More

We stay here regularly. A new young couple with a desire to renovate this comfortable property. Extremely affordable, plenty of space inside units and for parking. Comfortable beds with electric blankets, and full kitchen facilities. Close to eating facilities and supermarkets. Great location. Love this little family and their motel.

Dissappointed with this motel. Very dated and cleanliness was fairly poor. No telephone and heating was insufficient. Location was suitable and reasonably priced.

Very welcoming hosts and comfortable and clean room. Whilst not the most modern of venues, it was very comfortable, in a nice area and close to supermarket and main routes. Very nice stay thanks.

Having stayed in numerous motels of the same value within the last week, this would rate as the poorest. The unit was spacious, but could have done with some serious cleaning. Large amounts of dust/mould on ledges and doors, microwave was dirty with an uncovered milk jug in fridge (didnt know how old the milk was). Ineffective heating. No telephone.
