It was very noisy. We had to put up with some loud music and traffic noise late at night. Their fridge was old and made so much noise throughout the night as well.

Good location, a bit tired
Great location for shoes at the arena, just a 10 minute walk. Property itself is dated, no ventilation in bathroom so evidence of black mould on the ceiling. Sofas ripped, cupboard fronts dirty. Fine for one night but I wouldn’t use it as a holiday stay.

Decent NZ Motel.
This is a decent NZ Motel style accommodation. Had a very pleasant welcome from the host reception which was real nice. Location on the arterial roads around Christchurch so with a big carpark is ideal for travellers with vehicles (M/Cycles etc) - Although not far walking from interesting Addington too.
My Favourite bar - The Miller Pub…
Many thanks…

The owner of the property is very lovely and ready to take an extra step to make his customers happy. We stayed in a family studio apartment which was spacious, tidy, cozy and had all the amenities for a family with small children. Sound proof rooms and plenty of parking on site available. Will definitely come back again.

Very friendly staff, comfortable room, easy walk to Apollo Projects stadium to watch the Crusaders. Motel is on quite a busy road, with cars speeding past overnight, although it is set back from the road
