Very friendly staff, clean room. We stay here every time we come to Christchurch. Older style motel. Stoves, table & chairs, lounge chairs, seating outside every unit, 12 in all I think. Close to city, Hagley Park. Gas station next door, other shops close by, including pub, takeawayfoods.

Good value for money has a full kitchen shower and lounge living room two chairs which is comfortable a dining table in the kitchen and a full stove. Bed was firm, but it was comfortable. Unfortunately they turned the fridges off which was very annoying because it was 30° outside and it took forever for a fridge to cool down. although it’s on main road it’s not overly clear noisy. Friendly staff probably would come and stay again.
