This was an excellent place to stay. The room was large and there was plenty of free car parking available. Staff member was friendly at check in. It's right next to a busy road, however I didn't find road noise to be an issue. I could hear it, but it wasn't excessive. Lots of Sky TV channels on the TV, and the free unlimited wifi was handy. I'd stay there again.

Property was ok. Room was clean. We had an altercation with the owner over some confusion regarding payment through expedia. Owners wife had apparently checked us in incorrectly which lead to the owner liam appearing at our room door demanding to see our credit card details. He was rude and abrasive which left a bad taste after that. We will never stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone.

The unit was absolutely spotless, well equipped and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. It was quiet. The bed was so comfortable. The only drawback for me was the very busy road that had to be negotiated when entering and leaving the motel during the morning rush hour. Would definitely stay again.

We have stayed at this property before and like the convenience of it for visiting family in Rangiora and exploring other nearby places; Waikuku, Pegasus and the local beaches. Even though it is situated on SH1 there is no real road noise and with the motorway is an easy drive into Christchurch City and the airport.
