Riccarton Motor Lodge

Great place clean tidy easy parking and handy for shopping and getting to the city centre. Staff helpful and friendly

The owner was very understanding. I was from out of town and towing a trailer. She allowed me to park the trailer and checked me in way before scheduled time. This gave me time to go to the airport to pickup my friends and able to show them around .

Property was very clean and nicely organised, very friendly staff, daily room service and Kitchen is fine for light cooking, onsite Parking, had a very pleasant stay.

The room had plenty of space. it was clean and tastefully furnished. The staff were very helpful and easy to talk to. The bus stop to the city was just outside the property and that made it easy to get around without driving. The laundry was clean and tidy.

We could not fault this Motel, very clean, the staff/owners were amazing, great location to Riccarton Mall and other shops. Good parking. Really a great place to stay.

Very clean, comfortable, and helpful. Tea, coffee, sugar, milk, and kitchen facilities very helpful. The laundry room was helpful, too. The best part was that our friend lost his wallet and the hotel is mailing it to him in Tasmania! Also, early check in was appreciated. Thank you so very much!!

Great welcome by the office staff, we checked in late and this was no problem for them. Parking outside our unit. Convenient to the city and shopping.I would stay here again.

We recently stayed at the Riccarton Motor Lodge for only one night before we left for our road trip round the South Island. The room was clean and the kitchenette appeared to have all that was needed. We had a second floor room at the front and there was some road traffic so I suggest you ask for a room towards the rear of the property. Reception staff was friendly and provided some useful information. There is parking on site. The Lodge is up the road from a Westfields and there are a number of cafes and restaurants close by. My other piece of advice is don’t forget to draw the door curtain or you will have light coming in all night.

This Motel had most of the comforts of home. Just a touch on the smaller size, but still ok. Parking ok, location ok too, but a bit far he you want to walk to the Riccarton mall. I have stayed here before and Happy to stay again if required.

Very clean… efficient staff…walking distance to shops & restaurants/cafes

I didn't like the fact the manager- im guessing this is his position - totally forgot to open uo the unit.for me as arranged earlier which then left me out in the cold and vulnerable as an elderly woman. I pressed buzzer i rang motel number onky to be totally ignored, i ended up knocking on staff windows and screaming out his name in my only hope of getting help. Finally Mark appears totally unaware of who I was when i gave him my name and why i was so uoset. Then when i reminded him he was going to leave my unit unlocked and turn on-the heater and shut windows he only asked why didn't i use the buzzer !! Which i had tried twice for a prolonged periid of time approximately 5 mins each time continuously! There was no apology n9 offer to help an old lady carry her bags back up to her room . No milk in thr fridge. And when I went to make use of the spa bath in the unit 2 very BIG BLACK PUBIC HAIRS on the bottom of the bath goodness only knows how they were missed when cleaning the bathroom is beyond me ! I had just come from thr chch hospital having been seen by my surgeon with concerns of infection in my shoulder wound after having VERY MAJOY surgery on my left shoulder on the 16th May. Id had to drive myself from hokitika to chch on my surgeons request to be viewed that evening. The drive itself was a complete mission as the rain was horrendous on the coast side. So basically i was incredibly stressed and exhausted at 9.40pm when i arrived at

Lovely rooms that are well-equipped, spotless and spacious. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again for sure!

The motel managers were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the unit was not very clean, therefore not worth the money we paid

I liked the closeness to shopping, so we could walk. The traffic noise was relentless. I didnt like our food being invaded by argentine ants

The room had plenty of space. it was clean and tastefully furnished. The staff were very helpful and easy to talk to. The bus stop to the city was just outside the property and that made it easy to get around without driving. The laundry was clean and tidy.

Very spacious and clean room, walking distance to mall. Owners very friendly and welcoming.

Staff were lovely, room clean and well presented

Quiet, clean and tidy. Friendly helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

Great place to stay. Spacious, clean and well equipped.

Main living area was very small and more suited to a maximum of 2 people. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was OK with basic necessities. Sofa in living area was quite uncomfortable. Overall not a bad place to stay, but nothing outstanding about it.

A shuffle or rooms was required before we arrived and so we got upgraded to a bigger unit free of charge. Beds were nice and firm for a great nights sleep. Unit was clean and tidy and everything required avaliable. Only thing i found a bit odd was the rubbish bins hadnt been emptied, there was a banana skin in one, luckily didnt smell the place out though. Spa bath was great too. Would certainly stay again!

Great stay, clean & tidy, very slow internet a real pain

Very quiet and warm, room was a very good size.

Beds are very hard, pillows to bulky, loud traffic noise, toilet seat very loose.

Great stay at Riccarton Lodge, super comfy beds and amazing shower! Had everything we needed. highly recommend!

The reception is very helpful with information and directions. There is no lift to the first floor, but the reception is kindly help me to carry my suitcase down. Close to the bus stops and plenty of busses on Riccarton Rd to many different destinations. Happy to stay there.

The owners went the extra mile to fit us in for another night at late notice, and helped us find accommodation at the neighbouring property when they were full.

Hosts were very helpful with arrangements, went out of their way to help us.

A very helpful reception giving great guidance as to what was around and what to do was the start to a comfortable one night stay. The room was clean and tidy and provided all of the essentials for a quick stay. Close enough to the city centre to access plenty of restaurants and sight seeing.

The unit was excellent but the when we arrived and I asked if he wanted the Expedia booking reference he rambled on about ‘fat cats in America’ taking money offshore and that it’s better to look up the price on there and then to call the motel direct (to cut out the middle man). Was unimpressed to be lecture us like this? if you want to advertise on their platform accept get they take a commission and don’t try to circumvent the process that brought the customer to you.

Greg was available for our late check in. After a long day traveling it was great to walk into a clean and homely environment where all our needs were met

My family of 5 adults stayed in a 2 bed 1 bath apartment on the Ist floor (ground 1). Since there are only 2 floors ( ground, first), there are no elevators, so we had to carry our large bags up the stairs. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful and helped us carry the bags. The rooms were very comfortable, all.amenities were good. The check in/check out was simple too. We found a kerala cuisine "pothichor" at a 3 minute walk and were elated. The airport is about 20 minute drive from here. There is a westfield mall at a 25 minute walk. There is a bus stop rignt in front and can be used to go to the city. Westfield mall.is one stop away. This location is away from the city so we took multiple ubers. Didnt know that NZ does not have uber XL for five people. They only have uber for 4 people. Also the buses do not accept credit card, need to buy the transport card. Overall we enjoyed our stay at riccarton and would definitely consider booking them for a future trip.

We didn’t arrive until after 1am due to plane cancellations and delays. Greg was great with his communication with us throughout the day and gave us clear instructions to get our room key and made the room toasty warm for our arrival. It was so appreciated! The room was clean and tidy, the beds and pillows comfy and early check out was super easy. We would stay here again.

Helpful staff, clean property. Good location - right by a number of bus routes into the city and to the airport, close to uni and shops - although this means it can be a little noisy for the front units.

Thoroughly recommend the Riccarton Motor Lodge. Easy access to city and airport. Good value for money. Will stay again in a months time.

Beds are very hard, pillows to bulky, loud traffic noise, toilet seat very loose.

Great place to stay. Handy to Mall and University. 🙂

Clean. Walking distance to Riccarton Mall and University

Staying overnight after picking up family from the airport. 10 minute drive was very convenient
