Unfortunately I had a fall up the steps on my arrival and hit my head on the stairs and grazed my leg. There was no Report made or follow up by the Staff member and she didn’t even tell anyone higher up. There was no follow up to make sure I was okay either.

Reasonable with fair amenities and centrally located for 10-15 min walking distance to CBD Christchurch and the Bio park. We didn't use the rental car for the CBD and the cities restaurants due to Parking fee We spent 2 days with a day at the hotel to head out to Lake Tekapo and Queenstown by drive. Hotel wouldn't help for refunds on delays and changes, we had flight diversion and had to pay for next day. However, the stay was pleasant with free parking included.

Home away from home
I enjoyed my stay other than the stairs which was my fault for not requesting no stairs. Staff were all wonderful, kitchen amenities very good. Didn't have stove top or rice cooker which was listed. Shower had great pressure. Very handy to shops and bus system. Ideal for my needs and budget.

Not too far from city centre
The motel is a fairly short walk from the city centre. Quiet location and friendly helpful staff. Shower though was an older style dial turn which varied between ice cold and boiling. Otherwise a comfortable and relaxed stay.

Our hosts were wonderful. They were helpful and very hospitable. The location of the motel is ideal with a walk into the city and a cafe a few meters away. Our room was clean and warm and we had electric blankets for the cold winter night. Next time in Christchurch we will be back there for our accommodation.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very cold as the heat pump was unable to warm the room, paint was peeling in the bathroom above the shower, toiletries minimal, the whole room was dated and little choice for coffee or tea. Shower was good and the water hot but struggling for any real positives especially as it was supposed to be VIP.
