Hotel in Christchurch

“I stayed in November 2024 for 2 days with a late check out. I wanted to give this motel a review as I found the staff extremely helpful as it was my first time in Christchurch. I want to commend the staff making our stay great. The location is fantastic - great bus routes to airport, city and beyond and the Riccarton Mall literally across the road. Being self contained and having a mall across the road made it easy to get supplies to cook food etc. I really recommend Dean Bush Motel - ring them instead of going thru a book app to get the best deal.”

“Everything is perfect during my stay! Spacious, clean, comfy bed, cooling aircond, heated water, walking distance to town.”

“Just want to thank the lovely family who manage the Vita Nova Motel for a great stay. We landed at midnight and we were able to arrange a late checkin. The unit was really clean, bed was so comfortable, Netflix to chill out at night, had all the necessary amenities and great service. Daily house keeping was excellent, she was thorough and showed great attention to detail. Laundry facilities were useful. Location was great, central to everything. Would definitely stay again. Thanks again.”

“Really cute place to stay. Wifi is super quick. Staff are very friendly and always willing to help you out. Highly recommend!”

“Metro Property are a pleasure to work with. This is the second property they have managed for us and they do not miss a beat. They are friendly, efficient, communicative and always put you at ease. A pleasure to work with and trustworthy ..”

“Carly is awesome, she is so friendly, responsive and accommodating with travel requests along with excellent recommendations for all our travels. Communicates promptly and makes our travel plans a pleasure.”

“We have had rental properties for 20 years and a number of property managers. We struck gold with Alsyha in our lastest property venture. Her professionalism and dedication have alleviated all the stress and workload associated with property management. Alysha is consistently easy to communicate with, ensuring we are well-informed about any developments. She promptly arranges any necessary repairs or addresses issues, demonstrating her commitment to maintaining the property in excellent condition. Her proactive approach and responsiveness have provided us with peace of mind, knowing our investment is in capable hands. I highly recommend Alysha to any property owner seeking a highly reliable and efficient property manager.”

“Where do I start to recommend this kennel. This is the best of the best - simply because the owner and her trusted staff truly KNOW animals. They are passionate, observant, and they are so committed to taking the best care of the pets entrusted into their care using a skill-set you rarely find. They also uncover all their personality traits, which proves how much notice they do take. I had two of my dogs in there this week and Robyn had noticed a touch of aggression from my Jack to my Kelpie, which I had noticed at the same time of day only once before. She was right on to it, and separated them without worrying me. But, she did tell me when I picked them up and I immediately remembered I'd noticed it too once myself, but I thought perhaps it was a one-off thing. So, now I'm going to be watching that narky little Jack closer at home. I can't stress how much trust we put in the people who care for our pets. Make sure you choose wisely, and if you're asking me, I'd say Dentese every day of the week. Thank you.”

“First time using shadow estate and it had come personally recommended to us. After doing our due diligence and reading the reviews we went ahead. Our girls can be a bit anxious and nervous with new people and places. That wasn’t problem here. Karly clearly understands dogs so well and is lovely to talk too. Upon collecting our girls it was like they hadn’t even stayed away, there dementia was calm and relaxed. Thanks again and we will be back. Highly recommend.”

“Great facility and our cat came back happy and well. Deborah was great to deal with. We had been struggling to secure a cattery over Easter and Deborah let us know when she had a cancellation and was able to take our pet on short notice. She was also great about extending his planned stay and was clear on communication feeding information and pick up/drop off. Will definitely use in the future”

“The hostess was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms were clean and decorated well. The whole farm setting complete with alpacas and horses was fantastic. Convenient location close to the airport too. I highly recommend staying here.”

“I drive my cats out here from North New Brighton because the gardens & landscaping they have built around the cattery is beautiful, and it makes me feel good because it's like a little cat resort. Their comms are great, friendly people, and the hygiene standard is top-notch, as is their professionalism. Highly recommend.”

“I visited this place to find a little break from my busy life, and it was the best choice. Strolling through the beautiful garden and spending a day in nature made me so happy. The owners were incredibly friendly, and there were delicious plums in the garden too:)”

“Had a wonderful tour with Chris last Sunday. Chris is a very kind and handsome person who loves animals and care of them a lot. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip with my family in CHC. I'm happy to learn about farm life and the stories of the animals, and we love the kune kune Pig -smile mouth!”

“I found Madison very friendly and helpful. She listened to everything I had to say and was able to give me excatly what I needed and made the booking for the start of our trip. Actually she even helped me with extra information regarding River Cruises and which companies did what. I look forward to making even more bookings with her.”

“This is our first time using a kennel in over a decade and they did not disappoint. Everyone that I spoke to was lovely, loved the video of him running around with another dog. Will definitely be using again in the future!”

“Had a fabulous stay here. Very comfortable and clean room, with all necessary amenities provided. Fantastic spot right next to the cafe and Diamond Harbour eatery, with easy access to the ferry and lots of walking tracks. Really loved being able to have our dog stay with us too. Thank you & we will be back!”

“Joanne and Mark have been looking after my place for years now and it's always been smooth sailing. They're super easy to deal with, great communicators, and genuinely fair and down-to-earth. One thing that really stuck with me — when we were handing over to new tenants, the lawn was a bit out of control. Joanne just grabbed the mower, fired it up, and sorted it out herself. Total legend move. They really go the extra mile and make owning a rental so much easier. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“This place was more than a home away from home. A pool spa Bbq.. Owners were amazing. Breakfast included 4 different cereals fruit. Different food items in room. It was amazing beds were really comfortable. The room bathroom was so clean. I think this would have to be one of the cleanest places I have stayed at. Something for everyone. Playground out the back AAA+ best to just ring for bookings.”

“The Man, The Myth, The Legend! Gerardo made our search for the perfect home simple.  We told him our perfect home wish list, and he came back to us with exactly what we were after and several options to choose from. Gerardo took the time to respond quickly over the phone, email or txt which made it easy to ask quick questions or confirm viewing appointments. He knows the industry from start to finish and is a wealth of knowledge. I have absolutely no hesitations recommending Gerardo for your next home!”

“Have a rental property managed by this office going on 4 years. Communication has been responsive + timely and any issues arising with the property have been promptly addressed. Reports received have been detailed. Cara and the team have been great to deal with throughout. Overall pleased with the service received to date.”

“We have sold two properties with Stuart Morris and his team. Both times we have had brilliant service and have had very good outcomes. He goes to great lengths to follow up on interest and literally every party that comes through an open home is followed up on extensively. He recently secured for us a multi bid sale at auction despite being at a low point in the market and delivered an extremely good outcome. Most impressively he is genuine, honest, transparent and very easy to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Whilst attending my daughter's wedding celebrations, I booked three rooms, for three nights, for my family members travelling from Melbourne. I cannot speak highly enough of our hosts Frank and Jenny, who took us into and shared their home with us. The location is within walking distance of the village of Lyttleton and its services. Our hosts were attentive, friendly and supportive, but, not intrusive. Their rooms were a delight, comfortable, spacious and serviced daily, unless one signed that it was not necessary. Ensuites, heated towel racks, room heaters ensured a comfortable stay. The views over Lyttleton Harbour are breathtaking, complemented by the external open patio, complete with outdoor furniture and barbecue for guests to relax and enjoy. Complimentary cereals, yogurts, fruit, tea and coffees ensure a relaxing start to the day. Frank and Jenny are approachable, friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our stay and commend you to them when next you visit Christchurch or Lyttleton areas.”

“Lovely room, great dining area, lots of beautiful artwork, and nice hosts. Smallest sink ever in the room like so many other places in NZ. Nice shower though.”

“Husband and I had the garden view room. Superb. Bed made up each day for us, hot hearty breakfast - and an outside spa to enjoy. Hosts were warm & friendly. Great spot. Not noisy.”

“Escape to Annandale by Luxury Helicopter with GCH Aviation, Christchurch International Airport. Private jet and helicopter charters.”

“Love love love! Clover Pet Grooming is a very skilful groomer!! Rambo has been groomed by her many times now and each time it just gets better and better. Love her scissoring skill and she spends a long time and always make sure the cut is perfect. Highly recommended！”

“I can not recommend Cheryl high enough, we had our 3 babies with her over Christmas just been (2023) for a week. Due to no fault of her own (our vet being lazy) our 11 month old kitten fell very ill, Cheryl went above and beyond and did everything she could for our precious peach. If you want to take your cats to someone who cares, you can’t get any better than Cheryl at 4 paws”
