Fantastic stay, wonderful host
My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The owner, Peter was so helpful and friendly. The place had a beautiful yard and we had a lemon tree right outside our unit, which was very clean and cosy. The beds were comfortable with electric heated blankets to keep us warm during the winter, and the kitchen and laundry facilities were adequate for us to do some light cooking and washing. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Christchurch and will recommend it to others!

Well equipped motel
We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment and found it to be really well equipped & clean. Only negatives would be the comfort of the beds and the road noise in the upstairs rooms but overall a good place to stay if you need space and amenities.
