The location for shows at the Canterbury arena is perfect! Also so close to Tower Junction so that’s even more helpful. The rooms are a great size and warm up so quickly especially in the chilly winter. Also it’s really easy to find! Great parking so that your off the road.

It was really only little things and it didn’t make the stay bad. It would have been nice to have some wine glasses in the rooms, extra blankets especially in winter. Our 2nd room had a hairdryer but our room didn’t have one so we ended up sharing. Been down stairs close to the room made it quiet nosy at nighttime. However still such a great place to stay!

We stayed at this motel for one night and we found our stay comfortable, the staff was super friendly, the facilities were great and the location perfect for us (we had to take an early morning train and this was a 4 min drive and 15 mins on foot to the station). The motel provided a free drop off to the railway station so really happy about that (as we had intended to walk down). It also wasn’t far from the botanical gardens, riverside market and the highlight for my family was kayaking down the Avon. We had a good time!!

I like that it is pet friendly , and the location for us was good.

The shower was broken. It is so difficult to make work, bathtub it wasn't cleaned properly, there is no amenities (shampoo or proper soap), in the service didn't replace the towels, no hairdryer, is a basic Motel and expensive. The bed you can feel the separation between the 2 singles making a king bed, so much difference together one was higher than the other.

We chose this because of the close proximity to the train station. We had to check in for our train at 6:30 am. The motel provided us with a shuttle, so nice when it’s still dark out! The room was comfortable and clean, had a kitchenette, our beds were comfy and warm. There are lots of restaurants nearby, we had a great dinner just a few blocks away. It’s also walking distance to the Botanical Gardens, a beautiful place!

No complaints

The motel was within 10 minute walk from the station and conveniently situated not from shops and somewhere to eat. Tea coffee and milk was ready on hand. The owners were very accommodating with regards to our late check-in and early check-out.

There was nothing to dislike apart from an odd smell when we first entered but that soon disappeared.

Have stayed here before on our last trip to NZ. This time we were only here for 6 hours as our plane arrived late & we were catching the Tranzalpine train at 9.15am. The motel provides a shuttle service to the station so we had to be ready to leave by 7.20am. We had a 2 bed room. It was comfortable & clean.

Hot water service is really hard to use.

I’ve never stayed in such a tiny but perfectly formed room (never been to Tokyo!) - it had absolutely everything you needed for a night or two just compacted into a very efficient use of space. Really clean. Without doubt the best shower I’ve had in weeks whilst on our trip. It’s really cleverly designed, loads of storage under the bed, clever control panels in the wall, other places to store and hang things. The bed was comfy and the breakfast (hot and cold buffet) was delicious. Easy check out - handed in the keys - and the whole experience was great, efficient and economical. Highly recommended for a quick visit.

We were perfectly happy with it but the bed only had one exit (over the other person) and there was no window but for an overnight stay or two neither were a problem!

Perfect location to be close to the train station. Would definitely recommend bringing earplugs for sleeping if you wake easily. I found that the traffic woke me up throughout the night. The room was comfortable and I had everything I could have needed. The receptionist was lovely and very knowledgeable of the area

I would have liked there to be another towel rack in the bathroom but I do understand it is a bit awkward with how the room is laid out. The shower also could have done with a more thorough clean as there was a little pink mould

An excellent place to stay for the Tranzalpine Express with a free shuttle to the station with our helpful host. (Thank you) Great location for public transport being right on the Orbiter route and 5 minutes walk from regular buses to the inner city. We took a taxi from the airport but realised later we could have easily and cheaply taken buses instead. A number of dining options around the corner on Lincoln Road, and an excellent vege store with some groceries a few minutes walk up the road. Very central and accessible

Window catches in the bedroom and bathroom need fixing and the bathroom fan exceptionally noisy. Extra blankets were advertised in the brochure but weren't in the room, and I had to alert management to a lack of teaspoons which was corrected next day. I expect blankets would also have been made available if I had asked but we didn't need them

Helpful team made my stay as easy as possible. Appreciated the luggage storage on early arrival and the shuttle to the train station in the morning for the 7am Coastal Pacific train.

It’s getting older but they are making improvements.
