Hotel in Christchurch

“Absolute fantastic value for money at the Darfield Motel. Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. We stayed for four nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Spacious, warm and wonderfully clean rooms. Well equipped kitchenette. Walking distance to the amazing bakery and other places to eat. Thank you Darfield Motel for a warm welcome and perfect stay. Can't wait to come back.”

“A colleague and I stayed in Sumner Bay Motel recently and would be more than happy to stay here again. The service and friendliness of Sophie and Mark was outstanding. We were in the 2 bedroom unit, 2 lovely comfy couches in the good sized living space, beautifully equipped kitchen and comfy beds, Very warm when it was freexing outside. Highly recommend, great motel, great location”

“Thank you Chet and Steve of being a very good and lovely hosts. Very good stay, the room is cosy, clean and comfortable. They have small little pantry in the room itself - coffee, tea, water and a kettle to boil water. Toilet amenities are also provided. And I like the surrounding garden with planted apples, pears, plums, lavenders and so many others. Walking distance to the nearby cafes and restaurants, and 15km to the Christchurch international airport. As my flight is very early, so I don’t have chance to have the breakfast, which I really love to do it in my next visit again.”

““Above and Beyond: TK Helped Us Find the Perfect Home” I honestly cannot find the perfect words to explain how grateful I am for TK’s support. His knowledge of the market is on a completely different level. He has incredible patience and always made sure we found the right property for us — not just any property. Before every viewing, TK fully investigated the house and came well prepared. He explained everything from A to Z, so we always understood what we were looking at. His honesty, reliability, and professionalism made the whole process so smooth. If you are looking to buy a good home without stress, you should definitely work with TK. He will help you feel comfortable and confident through the whole journey. Thank you so much, TK — you truly made a difference for us!”

“My family has been renting an apartment from this agency for four years now, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The standout aspect of their service has to be the responsiveness and efficiency, especially from the manager, Amber. Whether it's a maintenance request or any inquiry, Amber ensures that our needs are addressed promptly and thoroughly. It's rare to find an agency that truly prioritizes tenant satisfaction, and we feel fortunate to have found one. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and tenant-focused rental agency.”

“Very convenient to central Christchurch. Stayed here a couple of times, Summer and Winter and the contrast is interesting. There is a back deck outside area with covers and heaters. Drag blankets from the games room too if needed. Cosy villa all around. Can't wait to stay again.”

“We’ve taken our beloved cats to Anna for years now. Like many other reviews, we also drive a distance to Anna, we trust her with them both. The boys come home healthy, settled and I feel so relaxed leaving them in her care - thanks Anna!”

Pomeroy's Old Brewery Inn favours a simple, bistro‑style mix with clear, clean flavours. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Value feels fair for the quality.

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere with a video showing floral landscapes and tranquil music. Cappuccino good. Friendly staff. As a follower of Jesus, I felt very comfortable here. 4:44 pm on September 19 2025”

“Great quiet place to stay, easy to find after a long flight and the room was kept nice and warm for my midnight arrival. The after hours key was easy to find and the room was lovely and clean. Will definitely stay again”

“Rented a property through these guys for 2 years with Harriet as my property manager. Great communication right to the end, very swift final inspection and bond release. All inspections were very friendly and respectful too. I had to reach out a couple of times for maintenance requests, but these were quickly solved. Thanks for making renting easy while I was there ☺️”

“My 13 month old Greyhound and I just compleaded a 4 week manners course. From the start Georgia made everything easy I was unsure of what class would best suit our needs so we arranged a pre training assessment. We met with Kerry, who listened and made me feel that he cared and that he genuinely wanted to show me how to help my dog and I to work together as a team. I really want to say "Thankyou for the last 4 weeks. The great information, training tips with real world advice. Oh and the laughs"”

“We live staying here; both the units and the old house are fabulous and the team on site are the best… always prefer to stay here if we’re visiting Christchurch”

“I can’t speak highly enough about this motel and the awesome owners Brendon and Tina. They bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay, even allowing us an early check-in and late checkout to work around medical appointments. Brendon even brought in some mobility aids to make life easier in the unit. It was like a home away from home for us…spacious, clean, quiet, well equipped and very handy to some great eateries. They even had pot plants to give it a homely feel. We will definitely look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Christchurch.”

“Came across this place when looking for a place to stay in Little River after cycling the Rail Trail and before venturing further into the peninsula. This place was amazing - it really was - I just wish I had more time than an overnight stop to enjoy it. The design philosophy and practice is totally inspirational. I hope to stay again one day.”

“I've just finished working in Rangiora for 3 months. I stayed at The Riverstone Motel for the whole time and loved it. Quiet, convenient, and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for super friendly hosts Charlotte and Mike. Every evening I'd come back to the curtains drawn and the heat pump on. It's the little things that count.I recommend it 100% and would go back in a heartbeat.”

“We stayed at 2/12 Whiteleigh Avenue, Addington, Christchurch for one year and had the best experience with Max Property Management Ltd. The team was always professional, friendly, and quick to respond whenever we needed assistance. The whole tenancy process—from moving in to moving out—was smooth and stress-free. They genuinely care about their tenants and made us feel well looked after throughout our stay. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and supportive property managers in Christchurch!”

“Friendly easy going. Nice rooms, nice we shopping center butchery, bakery pub and restaurants just up the rd”

“Well appointed, clean and well presented, we loved having the lift as my husband struggles to get upstairs, Phil was very welcoming. We would most definitely stay there again.”

“I've been taking my dogs here for years and the groomers are so careful and professional - recommend to all, also have used the daycare services when I go away and the dogs have been well loved and cared for.”

“Stayed for 2 nights when first arriving in Christchurch, the motel was so good that we returned for the last 3 days of our trip. Marko was very accomodating and the beds were amazing. Could barely hear the traffic despite being on a relatively busy road, and was very nicely located to the mall. 10/10”

“Great spot to stay. Super friendly and helpful staff. We were in a bit of a jamb and the lovely lady let us check in at 8am . Definitely got us smiling again. Great food nearby within walking distance and would definitely stay again”

“Exceptional & top marks for Abbella Lodge Motel! The business operators - Anita and Shane went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable! The motel was perfectly located just across a major Supermart (Pak n Save), and their prompt service made check-in seamless. Communication was effortless, and the cleanliness of the beddings and surroundings was impressive. Most importantly, Anita and Shane's friendly and helpful nature made us feel right at home. We'd highly recommend this stay and would book again in a heartbeat!" More power to you guys! Villanueva Family - Philippines”

“Our dog Winston can’t wait to go to PAWS every week, he loves seeing the staff and his dog friends. We can’t speak more highly of our experience at PAWS.”

“Fantastic place. Our German Shepherd Luger loves coming here! The staff are friendly and informative everytime they've been there when picking up our boy. Glad we've chosen to go here!”
