Great location in Christchurch

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Apr 2020
Vivienne and Grant are perfect hosts and wonderful people. Nothing was a problem for them at a difficult time when New Zealand went into lock down. The motel is located walking distance to the CBD, Victoria Street restaurants/cafes and short walk to Merivale mall and shops. The rooms are well equiped, spacious and immaculately clean. Highly recommended.
Date of stay: March 2020

Is what you'd expect - comfortable, basic accomodation, with adequate car parking. We only stayed the one night and had no complaints. It is also located such that it is an easy 10-15 minute walk into town.

A very warm and helpful welcome. A large room with a nice seating area by the front window, a small dining table and a kitchenette hidden behind louvred doors at the back. A soft, comfortable bed. Bathroom with large effective shower. A couple of seats and table outside at the front of the room are a typical New Zealand motel setup. The upstairs rooms appeared to have a nicer outdoor space. Bedside tables with good lighting and electrical sockets. Good WiFi and TV with 5 Sky Sports channels. British football fans will be disappointed as EPL games are no longer available on Sky in New Zealand.

The kitchenette has a small fridge and a large microwave along with all the glasses, plates and utensils you will need, including good wine glasses. Situated at the Hagley Park end of Bealey Ave, it is an easy twenty minute walk to Cathedral Square at the centre of the city via Victoria Square. Note, the traffic on Bealey Ave can be quite noisy, particularly on a Saturday night.

Getting Around
Christchurch is now well on the way to being remodelled after the earthquake of 2011. Victoria Square has been redeveloped and the bars and restaurants looking out on the Avon River around the Bridge of Remembrance do a roaring trade on a Saturday afternoon. In fact the areas around the lovely Avon, complete with English style punts, are becoming the heart of the new Christchurch.

Although the tram network has been expanded around the central city this is more for tourist use rather than practical transport and the bus network around Christchurch is still limited. So if you want to venture out from the central city you will need a car. Apex is a good budget option with older vehicles. Parking is not plentiful in Central Christchurch and can be expensive so during the working week it is best to leave your car at the motel and walk unless you are going to a supermarket or shopping centre that has free parking. The central city is compact, a thirty minute walk from the Bealey Ave side to the Moorehouse Ave side. There is a brand new New World supermarket on the corner of Durham Street and Moorehouse Ave, about a thirty minute walk or a five minute drive from the motel. It has a great selection of gourmet foods and fantastic New Zealand wines.

Room tip: Upstairs if you want more private outdoor area

This is a motor lodge, fairly central to the old city centre (15 minute walk). It is scrupulously clean in all regards. It has all the facilities you would expect, including wifi.
The gardens are simple, pretty and well maintained. The rooms are fresh and well appointed.
The best aspect are the hosts. Grant and his wife are absolutely superb. Nothing is a bother to him. As just one small example I left my phone charging lead behind. Grant took the time to follow us up to the car hire place,just to ensure that it was returned. That is more than customer service, it's just represents the people they are.
