Detailed Reviews
Yet again we have had another wonderful stay at Maureen & Greg's property. Great location. Very well appointed rooms. Lovely & clean. I would absolutely recommend anyone stay here. If you're new to this property, the hosts couldn't be more welcoming & helpful.

We stayed the single night, and it absolutely ticked all the boxes. Staff were welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. Our room was sparkling clean, warm and inviting. The spa bath was such a lovely way to finish a busy day, and the king bed meant a really good quality sleep. A little bit dated but clean, fresh, and modern decor. Just a really good quality establishment, and we’d not hesitate to stay again.

Nice modern clean hotel. Stayed for 2 nights has everything you need. Hot plates for cooking, microwave, fridge, block out curtains. We stayed in a back unit and it was very quiet. Laundry on site to use

Could not ask for more gracious and generous hosts, Maureen and Greg.. Add to that great accommodations at a very fair price and close enough to the CBD . Last-minute change of plans and unsuccessful internet search for accommodations led to us making many calls looking for last-minute (same night) reservations. We called the Fyffe, exasperated and expecting the same negative results: no rooms. Greg answered, I asked for available rooms, and...what...a no show? Really? "I'll take it!" A perfect opportunity for Greg to charge virtually whatever he wanted, but he only charged us the rate for a single bed. We arrived late in the evening, well after normal office hours. To our pleasant surprise, we were met by our hosts with welcoming smiles and fresh milk, who promptly helped us to our room with our luggage, insured we had all we needed and departed. We decided that night to extend our stay but learned the next morning the Fyffe was full for the next several days. Our hosts then called several motels to see if they had any vacancy and eventually found and secured accommodations for us. No charge, and not even in the same network of hotels...Incredible! We thanked them profusely, gathered our luggage and headed out to the new motel. Moments later a car pulled along side...It was Greg, insisting we accept a ride to the new motel...Really???? I can't say how much we appreciate Maureen and Greg and can only say if you want a great nights' stay, with great hosts, for a reasonable rate, stay at the Fyffe on Riccarton,

How lovely to hear from you, it is some time since you stayed so we hope the rest of your trip went well! Thank you so much for your kind words, they are very much appreciated, we genuinely enjoy looking after our guests and find it very rewarding and its lovely to get such a wonderful vote of thanks. Accommodation was at a premium when you were in Christchurch and I am sorry that we did not have availability for you to extend your stay. We are currently working through some improvements to our rooms, freshening them up with painting and some really nice new artwork is on the way. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again. Kind regards, Maureen, Greg and the team at Fyffe

This is a really comfortable and well-equipped motel. It is located within easy walk of a couple of supermarkets and several superettes, and lots of other facilities (doctor, dentist, pharmacies etc). Christchurch Botanic Gardens are 15 minutes stroll away, and Riccarton Road itself is well served by public transport. All these facts are easily seen on maps, but the key thing that differentiates Fyffe On Riccarton are Maureen and Greg who own it. They are an extremely friendly and helpful couple. They helped us out enormously during our stay with them and nothing was too much trouble. They are the real stars of the show here! Wouldn't hesitate to return next time we're in Christchurch.

After 35 years of travelling and staying in motels it’s the little things like:
The best plunger coffee you can get in the rooms
Clean irons that don’t ruin my shirts with stains
Great bed
Hazzle free internet
... no stupid little bottles of shampoo that I can’t read in the shower
The big bonus is you have nice people doing it!
Well done !👌👌👌
