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.

We stayed on arrival and before departure. Both stays were terrific. Bon and Terry went above and beyond to help us. The rooms were very well set up and were spotlessly clean. As a bonus, the motel is located conveniently for use of the bus.

This was ideally located family accomodation and the hosts were extremely helpful in making it all work for us. The units were clean and functional and had everything we needed for a great stay. Pricing was reasonable and we would use again if the need arose.

Friendly service- genuinely interested in their guests, and clean and comfortable unit. They obviously take pride in their premises- spring is a great time to see it at its best! Excellent value and I would stay again if I needed to visit family out this way.

We were warmly welcomed to the motel by the friendly owner. The room was immaculately clean and warm and location was perfect for us. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Parking was spacious and easily accommodated a bigger vehicle, some places have very narrow parking spaces and little room to turn around - this motel was perfect

Nice location as you come into Christchurch and close to some pretty nice little bars (we had some really nice cocktails at Dirtyland) The owner is really friendly and gave us some great tips for Hanmer Springs and also Kaikoura. He’s really proud of his motel and the cleanliness and level of service is a testament to this. Thank you for hosting us!

This is a nicely appointed, clean, handy motel with friendly and helpful hosts. Hosts were available and with good suggestions. The surroundings were attractive, the garden being quite special. Shops, takeaways and restaurant with easy walking distance. Nice and quiet atmosphere.

One of the first motels you see when entering Christchurch from the north. Terry and Bon are very friendly hosts, and their gardens and units are immaculately presented. The kitchens are well-equipped and everything is spotlessly maintained. Sky sport T.V. is available and the units warm up quickly on cool nights. If you are going north and want to stay in Kaikoura, ask them about their lovely beachfront house that is also fastidiously maintained. I would not hesitate to stay in either of their properties. Thanks Terry and Bon For your hospitality and friendliness

A well appointed motel with everything you need for a short stay in Christchurch. The room was clean & comfortable and kitchenette has absolutely everything you need to make a simple meal. Car can park outside the room, it was convenient. Hosts were very pleasant & accommodating. Highly recommend & would stay here again on a future trip.
