A great friendly, clean, modern place to stay close to Christchurch airport. The customer service went above and beyond our expectations with airport collection and drop-off in the wee hours of the morning at no extra cost. Food in restaurant was superb.

I’ve been traveling for work over the past three days, and this hotel was by far the nicest and most enjoyable place I stayed. The rooms are immaculate, modern, and have clearly been recently renovated with a keen eye for detail. The design is both stylish and comfortable, making it feel quite upscale and welcoming. The room had all the amenities I needed, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. It’s evident that a lot of care has been put into maintaining this property, as everything felt fresh and clean. For the price, this motel offers incredible value. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality, affordable stay with a touch of luxury!

Very handy to the airport. Spacious room. Nice balcony to sit outside. Very warm. Good kitchen amenities. The only issue I felt was that the water pressure in the shower was week. It would have been nice to have a stronger flow. Would stay again though.
