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.

Very welcoming host accommodation clean and shower was great, was an open shower so bathroom got very wet,bed was comfortable..residential neighbours had a spotlight shining directly into our room on the second night and it made sleep difficult. There seemed to be a few permanent residents on the property. Close to everything would definitely stay again if we are visiting Christchurch.

Like being in a park. Small private courtyard where the crickets were singing all day. Very clean and tidy. Comfy bed. Great shower pressure but small area for wet floor shower which spilled over toilet whilst showering. Quiet considering on a major road. Great friendly hosts. Loved our stay in number 11

This really is a great place to stay.
Parking is good and access to the rest of the city and to head north is very good.
Quiet, clean rooms.

The cottages are so quiet and you just don't feel like your in the middle in Christchurch.
Nice and private, sit out on the deck and read a book! Bliss. Friendly staff who are happy to help. The laundry is free also which is great when you're traveling.
Would highly recommend this place.

Finding accommodation in Christchurch can be tricky since the earthquakes. However, Cranford cottages and Motel are a pleasant oasis. We booked the family unit, even though there was just two of us - my friend and I ( two females). I slept in the single bed in the lounge and she had the double in the bedroom. It was fine. Although not having a headboard made sitting up to read in the single a bit of a challenge! It was a short walk to the Edgeware Road shops and a good pub meal at the Baillie Hotel. We even ventured into Cathedral Square to check out what was left of the city centre. All in all a good place to stay! We would go back,

Stayed for only one night at the end of our 10 days in the South Island. Nice tidy and clean cottage. Very new, love the self contained cottage. Ours was right on the road, so a little noisy. But still very pleasant. Would recommended to our friends.

We stayed for two nights at this wonderful motel. This place has got a very personal touch, which made it very different from the typical motels we stayed at in New Zealand. The very friendly owner made it a great, and very personal stay. He was very welcoming, gave us some good recommendations (about Christchurch and the route to take towards Lake Tekapo) and welcomed us with a Heineken (because we were already away from home for so long). The cottages look brand new, clean and very comfortable. The city centre is only a couple of minutes drive away. Absolutely the best value for money in Christchurch. Don't miss it!

Accommodation was very spacious and clean with friendly hosts who gave us lots of information of local facilities and attractions. The Continental breakfast served to our room was an added advantage. Would certain go again.

Good location, walking distance to car pick up, and then easy access to main arterial roads to continue your jouney. Neat, clean and tidy with ample parking and little road noise. Shops nearby, includes bakery, fruit and vegetables, and cafes. Hard to fault, so I won't.

Cranford Cottages is a great choice when staying in Christchurch. We were upgraded to a bigger unit which was appreciated. Spotlessly clean is always a good start, add a comfy bed and a heat pump, and you can't go wrong. The water pressure was good for a shower as well. The owners are delightful and nothing is too much trouble for them. It was so appreciated when we'd had a long day out, to arrive home at 8.30p.m. at night with the curtains closed and the heat pump on. Some units with heat pumps don't have electric blankets, but if you ask when booking they will put one on the bed for you.

there is single bed in the living room and double bed in the bedroom. There is upper level and lower level. remember to mention you need lower level room if you don't fancy moving the heavy luggage up the stair.
