My sons favourite straw was mistakenly thrown in the trash. I went to office to see if i could get it back they said no problem and went through all the trash for that day and got it back for him. Wifi was a bit spotty when we got there they came down to check straight away when he couldnt fix it there and then he offered for us to move rooms to fix the problem. Helpful friendly and always keen to go the extra mile to help with any enquiry. Would definitely return to this motel.

Clean, Comfortable and Well Equipped.

I can't fault the hotel.. Its the second time I have used it and when I come over again from the U.K to see my brother in Christchurch I'll use the same hotel. Its clean, comfortable and well equipped and the staff are friendly. And considering it is on a main road it is very quiet
