We checked in late due to delayed flights, but by prior arrangement the keys to the unit were left inside. Had a surprise when we discovered electric blankets had been turned on for us that cool evening. Certainly worth a return visit if we were in Christchurch

Great modern motel that is quite walkable to the town center. The parking area is a bit tight, but that is really the only issue. I would definitely stay there again and would be happy to recommend it to friends.

Close to CBD, walkable, easy to find location. About the room. I booked a twin room, small space but adequate. The shower door did not close completely therefore water pooling on the floor when showering if not careful. Great kitchen fully stocked with everything you need on a short stay.

The room was generally good but it did have a really odd smell - like farm animals? - and the upstairs bedroom was a bit annoying if you needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. On the upside the rooms were quiet and dark and parking was convenient.

Our flight was delayed, but the team did such an incredible job accommodating, to the extent of ensuring the electric blankets were on, and the place was ready for us to feel comfortable as quickly as possible. Thankfully we found this spot, so close to many things downtown as well as in such good condition.

I have double charged from a hotel. I told a reception when I came to check in on 30 November 2024 that I had paid. However she told me. I did not pay yet and she ask me to pay again.After I recheck my room was paid on 8 July 2024.I think the staff at check in counter lack of training and make a big mistake.
