Detailed Reviews
We stayed here at the beginning and end of our South Island visit. We were able to leave some bags with Sheen and Alex for our return. They also provided facilities to clean our motorbike. We found them to be excellent hosts. Our rooms were clean and comfortable, and offered everything we required. We were able to hear the neighbouring guests on the return visit, which is not uncommon in motels of course. This also means they would have heard us when our alarm went off at 3.30 a.m. the next morning so we could catch the airport shuttle. Note about taxis: We flew into Christchurch very late at night and took a taxi to the Inn. We gave the driver the address, but no instructions on how to get there. We realised the next day that he did not take the quickest route. In fact, he drove away from the Inn! The Inn is conveniently located for airport access and a taxi trip should take only 10 minutes.

Great place to stay, easy checkin- checkout, rooms were clean and beds and sheets were very comfortable. Kitchen had cooking facilities and microwave.
Wifi was strong and great.
Easy parking. Tv in lounge and main bedroom.
Decor little dated but still perfectly fine.
Would book this motel again.

Comfortable enough but I wouldn't rush back. Bit noisy being located on a main road and just felt old. Furniture and décor from the 1970's and a bathroom that is screaming out for a makeover. Shower curtains and showering in a bath tub really are a thing of the past aren't they? We rated it 'average' because 'poor' was just a bit harsh but not by much.

This motel has more permanent residents than it does motel guests. The room was old and needs maintenance and the décor needs to be updated. The fire alarm went off at 2am (one of the residents was cooking and burnt something). It took 20 minutes for the owner/ manager to turn the alarm off, it then kept going off intermittently. By 3.30am we had had enough and left. Definitely will not be staying here again.

Amazing place to travel with children and dog's. Very animal friendly and it feels genuine. Some places let me stay with your dog in the past but make me feel very uncomfortable for that, definitely not here! I can highly recommend to take you pet. Cute rooms and very tidy.

There were bed bugs on all the beds. I have got rashes and their bites were so hurting that I couldn't sleep at all after a busy day.. This ruined my remaining trip as the rashes were so itchy following days.. The quality was worse, no cleanliness, the worse stay. Highly Opposed.. Never stay there.

I stay in a lot of motels and this is a good one. Handy spot, very close lots restaurants. Good standards and lovely hosts. Rooms are bright and modern with everything you need. Handy to city, airport, main roads. Not very quiet as is on main road but it is set back and as quiet as most motels.
If you travel a bit get an asure card for great discount

Clean hotel with friendly owners who go out of there way to help. Not located in the central city so a car is essential. Not too far to restaurants and shopping and Riccarton mall is 5 km away. We stayed in unit 4 as there were three of us. The unit (2 rooms) is set up for disabled clients with plenty of space and the car park was right along side it on the ground floor. Being a little out of the city the room rate was way cheaper than those closer or in the city. Not a brand new hotel but well maintained and well serviced. Good size tv screen in lounge area and another big screen in the main bedroom. You can borrow DVD player and DVDs although we had a couple with us, very easy to connect. 300 mb wifi complimentary.

Very poor service. Not accomdating. Unable to change booking. Charge for an night when not even in Christchurch and would not refund. Not pek season have rooms avaible but unwilling to change booking. Would never go back. Mindy who i dealt with ended our conversation by yelling down the phone and hanging up the phone ending conversation. She has very poor customer service skills.

Response from Nevali, Manager at Bush Inn Court Motel
Responded 2 Nov 2017
Hi Paula, Thanks for taking time in leaving a review but there are some facts not mentioned by you. 1. Non refundable booking _ You had chosen a non-refundable rate instead of the standard one, the condition is no fund back even if you are not staying. 2. Late check in _ We arranged a late check in for you since you didn't show up by 9:30pm, called you and texted Late-check in key instructions to you. 3. Note to cancel the booking in the Midnight _ it was nearly 12am when you tell us you booked a wrong date and would like to stay for the next night. We had hold the room for you and had no chance to sell it. That's why standard cancellation policy for most hotels/motels is FOC two days in advance. We are sorry for couldn't talking with you in a lower tone. Mindy had to talk loud to be heard since it was a bit of noisy over your side. Sincerely apologise for the misunderstanding. It is also easier if you had made the booking directly with us. For all of these bookings came through OTAs like booking.com, Expedia and Agoda, we need to contact them first and then cancel the booking. We would do our best to provide you with a enjoyable stay if you can reconsider to book with us again.
