My fiance and I stayed at the Bella Vista just for one night over Easter whilst travelling through from Mount Cook to Christchurch. The rooms were clean and had everything you were after. The staff were friendly and help us with directions, restaurants near by and even breakfast in the morning. Defiantly recommend this motel and would stay again.

We arrived here later than we had planned and it was so nice to find such helpful staff suggesting somewhere where we could get dinner. The room was clean comfortable and modern with everything we could possibly need. and the landscaping around the units was attractive. We didn't find any problems with road noise and slept soundly.

The Bella Vista Motel is conveniently located on the main road on the edge of Ashburton. I had a one bedroom apartment which I can best describe as modern, clean and functional.

We were greeted by Allison, the Asst. Manager, and she was cheerful and very helpful, providing us with a map with recommendations were to have dinner. The room was spotless, and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. If we were to pass through Ashburton again, we'd stay here.

We were upgraded from studio to a one bedroom apartment without any extra charge. The manager was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure everything was ok in the apartment before... More

The room itself is small, but very nice for a hotel: doubly-locked door, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, full set of all utensils (the bottle opener, corkscrew, wine glasses - all... More

We had booked a 2 bedroom unit which was in the back of the building, far enough away from the noisy Route 1. One kingsize bed was in the living room, the other room had 2 single beds.The apartment was... More
