Many large hotels could learn a trick or two from this small motel. The rooms a spacious and well appointed, bed and furniture are very comfortable and service is impeccable! I just wish I could duplicate this hotel to other places I travel to. More

This was our first stay at this motel and it met all of our expectations of a quiet, modern, spacious, affordable, well managed motel, where we would happily stay again. Other reviews adequately cover off the main points. This review will add some further comments only. We stayed in a downstairs unit. The upstairs units would be quieter as some... More

I stayed here for 5 nights on a business trip. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. The spa bath is a bit of luxury at the end of a long day. I would recommend this motel to couples on a weekend away or business travellers. It is very close to the town centre (approx 4 minutes drive) and away... More

Intially it was planned to stay only 1 night at the Avenue Motor Lodge as most of our time would be spent in Christchurch. However due to the earthquake we couldnt do this and the staff at the Avenue Motor Lodge were happy to accomodate us for 5 nights at the very last minute. It was quite modern with a... More

I really can't fault the motel. The level of cleanliness, room size and modern fixtures & fittings were second to none - and this was not matched by any other motels during my trip around the South Island. The staff were really friendly and helpful - a typical NZ trait ! It offered good value for money, would recommend it... More
