On our late arrival, we were shown to our room, the Penthouse, and on a chilly night we were welcomed to a warm, cosy, large, stylish room. Lovely bouncy carpet, underfloor heating, modern kitchen, bathrooms, tv etc. The apartment was very clean and felt like a home away from home. Did I mention the furnished balcony? Fab. The beds and... More

Never to sure about staying at a motel but this place is fantastic. I'm normally very fussy but couldn't fault this place. From the location, to some over the best customer service. Rooms are new and clean. Couldn't ask for much more

We loved the 2 bedroom suite very much! It is located on the ground floor. They have daily housekeeping, and keep the environment neat and tidy. Toilet and kitchenette are spotlessly clean. The location is good, and CBD is in walking distance. Roy and Carol have managed their place well, and they respond to the booking request and questions promptly.... More

The Focus is a very comfortable apartment style motel/hotel. Close to the CBD although there isn't much to do there since the earthquake. Close to Victoria Street where there are restaurants and a few eclectic bars - resurected from recovered material from the earthquake. Roy and his wife are extremely friendly. Definitely will stay again if and when I get... More

The folk at the Focus Motel, Roy and Carol were outstanding in the way they helped us retrieved a few items that were left in the room. They managed to collect them and forward the items to us at our next distination and they also made a point of making sure the mobile phone was bubbled wrapped. This hotel was... More

We loved our 1 bedroom studio we stayed in. We were in Christchurch for only one night & this place met all our needs. It is quite close to lot of the restaurants & other attractions. Our room had a microwave & utensils. That came in very handy given that we traveled with a baby. When I tried to book... More

This motel is very modern and within walking distance of central Christchurch (the red zone). The owners are friendly and arriving after hours is no problem. Our unit had a sink, fridge and microwave, comfortable bed, excellent bathroom, free wi-fi and off street parking. However, the room was very small (not big enough to swing a cat). There is no...

This motel is often full, and for good reason. Pleasant and friendly owners and staff, comfortable and clean units and it's centrally located. The studio rooms aren't large, but are well appointed and fresh looking. The motel is located in central Christchurch, just a short walk to the middle of the city. Parking is secure, and gated off after 9pm... More

We arrived in Christchurch to some rain on an unusually chilly day in January. We were welcomed to the hotel and promptly shown to our room (on the 3rd floor) and shown its amenities. We thought the room was a little on the small side and the quality of the towels was not great. However, the kitchenette was nice, if... More
