Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Off street parking, spa and pool area. Our room was big but unfortunately after a queen and single beds, 2 seater lounge and table and chairs it’s was rather a tight squeeze. Perhaps the seater should go. Bar fridge, cook top, reverse air conditioner. Nice sliding doors to a outside area, shared with the other units and on a road but still lovely. Great guest laundry. The shower was a ceiling mounted unit always never as effective as a wall mounted spray head. Not sure what eateries are around within walking distance. The staff were absolutely lovely. Shuttle to and from the airport. I would definitely stay here again.

My main issue with this motel was the extremely poor and aggressive attitude of the owners. After a four hour drive you do not want to be arguing over what you have already agreed in writing via email and they were not at all interested and basically told me 'I don't care what we wrote in the email i am telling you now that this is what the charge is'! This left a really bad feeling about the place. This being said the motel is dated but the room was perfectly acceptable and served the purpose for our one night stay before flying out from Christchurch airport.

This motel is very convenient if you need to stay near the airport. It's one of the cheapest options also.
I wouldn't stay here again however as I found the rooms in need of a thorough clean and the air conditioning/heater smelt of stale cigarettes when switched on.

The Bedfords were generous with their time and knowledge. A ride from the airport after dropping rental car and some details on local bus service as well as the best place to get breakfast nearby. Great location, immaculate inside and out. Everything we needed when we needed it❣️

Aimee and her husband are absolute legends. We needed a motel urgently after our flight was diverted back to Christchurch. Nothing was a problem they came and collected the boys from the airport at last minute. The room we got was a family unit that was very spacious and clean. If you are looking for genuine good NZ people these guys will look after you, Thanks guys appreciate your help

This is a lovely Motel close to the Airport with great friendly service and affordable rates. They went out of their way to make sure they could swap rooms to make sure there was a room for 2 nights and was able to organize a shuttle to the Airport for very early Sunday morning.. Lovely clean self contained unit with free WiFi.. Highly recommend this Motel for your next stay..

Accommodation was clean and tidy. All you would expect in a motel is there. Fairly peasant location, quiet side street. Folk who ran it were very helpful and fair. The reason I say this is that I made a mistake with the booking and without going into detail we arrived a day early. I had to wake the owner at 01.30 as the key was not there, not surprising as they were expecting us until the next day. No matter, was swiftly handed a key to a unit. As we were only staying the one night we arrived my erroneous booking therefore left them with an unoccupied room for the following night they did not make a fuss and did not ask me for anything towards the aborted booking. Top marks.

Stayed for a week at aarburg motel. Very poor and quality of services. Theres flea infested rooms. Stayed in a family room (room 6) I complained about the spiders and fleas in the rooms. They changed to another family room (room7) and it had the same problem. Rooms are dirty and filthy, carpets are dirty, blankets are stained and smelly. Services are crap, I actually had to ask for toilet paper every day. Pretty disgusting place to stay. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The authorities should be aware of this as I am filing a complaint regarding this.

Needed a last minute room in Christchurch near the airport, and asked a taxi to drop me off on the street closest to the airport with inexpensive motels. After checking a few nearby, I was lucky to find a single room available at Aarburg. For single occupancy the rate was $30-40 less than neighboring motels, but what really stayed with me was how kind the owner couple was to me. I explained I was out of NZ dollars and barely had bus fare in my wallet, and they offered to drive me to the airport the next morning to catch my connecting flight. Also, I asked about wifi access, and they gave me their username and password (try finding free wifi at your typical NZ hotel!)

Yes, the room was very dated, but spotless and comfortable. Options appear to be limited in Christchurch since the earthquake. There is little in terms of food/shops within walking distance, but that's par for the course near the airport. Sometimes, when you're a tired, broke backpacker, kind, helpful service rises above all else.
