Bit rough on the outside, but the price is right if you want no frills and a good location. Let's face it: Christchurch has had a rough go since the earthquake - and unfortunately this motel had its share of damage and two years later it apparently is still waiting for the insurance people to sort something out.

Rooms feel a bit dated and can be noisy if you're at the front with Bealey Ave right outside. But the location is convenient, the owner is personable and they have complimentary wi-fi. Adequate for a night or two.

This motel is very tired and could do with a makeover. But the proprietor is really pleasant and maintains high standards despite the lack of re-investment. I would recommend that they replace the pillows ASAP and put a full set of wine glasses in the cupboard. That being said it is a convenient location and close to Hagley Park.

This hotel is not only badly in need of a facelift, it is also extremely noisy, particularly at night, where an endless stream of boy racers seem to be practicing racing starts at the traffic lights right outside the hotel from about midnight to 3 am most nights! Only think going for it is the rooms are clean & it... More

Just across the road from the Knox Church and an easy walk to central Christchurch, and to Hagley Park. This isn't fancy and decor is a bit tired but friendly people and a reasonable pool, which was good for summer. Free wifi in 100MB blocks. Kitchen was fine, bathroom modest but OK - soap dispenser in the shower didn't work... More

We arrived at the motel and were greeted by a lovely lady. We had been upgraded to the 2 bedroom apartment because they had to cater for some other guests who were staying on. We were happy with this. As previous reviews stated, there was a fully equipped kitchenette and 100Mb worth of free internet. My biggest bugbear were the... More

We arrived in Christchurch after 20+ hours of travelling and the good folks not only allowed us to book in early, but upgraded the room at no charge to us. As weary travellers, this was more than we expected. After showering, we were then provided with a map; a good recommendation as to where to find brunch/coffee and we set... More
