Such a warm and frirndly welcome with that wonderful kiwi humour. We were provided with several eating suggestions within easy walking distance. The room was impeccable and comfortable. They provide their own shuttle service to the airport so no wondering or waiting for your ride to turn up. We left at 4am for a 10 minute trip to the airport. Highly recommend.

We had a very brief stay at the motel and had a positive experience overall. Staff were lovely everything was clean and the curtains do an amazing job of blocking out the light. It was a little noisy with traffic noise and if people were talking outside the room but there was no Josie through the walls and otherwise was perfectly fine for a 1 night stay and very convenient for the airport. We did not take advantage of the shuttle service but understand it works well.

Jeff was very helpful and goes above and beyond as a property manager. He picked me up at my airport and he also dropped me off at 5am at the airport. Walking to the big supermarket takes about 10 minutes. There was a McDonald's about 10 minutes walk away. The room was super clean. I stayed two night off the road trips and I came back for one more night. I will stay here again. John S.

Insgesamt super und sehr empfehlenswert überhaupt wenn man ohne eigenem Auto unterwegs ist! Buslinie 125 und 140 fahren direkt vor der Haustür alle 10 Minuten- mit Linie 140 kann man quer durch die ganze Stadt fahren bis Sumner-wonderful! Gratis Airport Shuttle Service hat super funktioniert, danke Jeff! Das Apartment war sehr sauber und geräumig. Schönes Badezimmer und bequeme Betten, auch ideal für längere Aufenthalte, wenn man in Christchurch was zu tun hat!
