“We had the best time staying here! The housekeeping manager was absolutely amazing — incredibly supportive of our team, kind, and went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible stay at Carnmore Hagley Park. Thank you so much”

“We stayed here in August '25. Really nice hotel. I stayed in room 402, the view wasn't great, but the room was A+. This room has a full kitchen, washer/dryer, king sized bed, large living area with huge TV. The hotel is located across the street from the Town Hall (where my wife's conference was). Everything Christchurch proper has to offer is easily walkable from this location.”

“This is our go to when staying in Christchurch. With young kids, they are safe because when you open your front door you are in a secure courtyard, not right into the car park. Across the street there is also an awesome playground. The rooms are large and clean. The courtyard has aplenty of space, picnic tables and a BBQ. Perfect for family groups or sports teams.”

“Friendly staff and very spacious, clean rooms. Highly recommended due to its central location—close to town and the casino. We love the the area and were very pleased with our stay.”

“My stay here was quite pleasant. I arrived past check-in hours. So, they emailed me the code to the lockbox outside the lobby to retrieve my key. My room was on the second floor. There were two convenient sets of stairs. The room was clean, quiet and well-equipped. I had a rental car and there was ample free parking. There were some reasonably-priced snacks and sodas in the room available to purchase. I spent $10 over the course of a few days and it was worth it. I will definitely stay here again. Front desk staff was very helpful.”

“Really impressed with this motel for the price! The room was clean, modern, and spacious. The room was large enough to have an infant cot and still good space around it. The kitchen was petite but exactly as I expected for a studio. The bathroom was spacious, with nice amenities, and great shower pressure. Nice toilet paper too! Haha. Also impressed that our room was serviced even though we only stayed two nights in total. Great location, a short drive to Riccarton Westfield Mall, Tower Junction, and a short walk to a great cafe Addington Co Op.”

“Gerald was excellent to deal with, I very much appreciated his service and also his help during my stay at the motel finding a house. Thank You”

“Wonderful staff in the office! A small and peaceful campsite, near the beach. Probably the best water pressure I've ever seen for a campsite shower too”

“Perfect place to stay, nice city view, fantastic services.”

“This place is Amazing! We had a wonderful time there! The room are tidy, beds are clean and comfortable, bathroom is shining! The most impression for me are the paintings. The owner said his wife did them! She must be a life loving person! That’s probably why the rooms are so tidy and clean! The owner is very friendly and nice! He recommended a lot of good restaurants and fun places for kids! We had a wonderful in Christchurch! This is the most valuable and comfortable motel in my whole trip! High Recommend!!!”

“Cozy hostel. Rooms are comfy and spacious. The facilities are being cleaned daily. The kitchen is well equipped with multiple stoves and an oven. The garden is a nice place to hang out on a sunny day.”

“I arrived in Christchurch on a red-eye flight for a solo trip and was a bit nervous since it was my first time staying in backpacker-style accommodation—especially arriving at 2am. I spent two nights in the all-female pod room and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was great, with a diverse mix of ages and travellers. The facilities were clean, from the shower and toilet block to the kitchen. It’s also super convenient, with a grocery store, café, and car hire all just a short 2-minute walk away. The staff were wonderful—relaxed, friendly, and very accommodating. I’d definitely stay here again, especially for late-night or early-morning flights. Downside: Pod aircons could do with a service. Mine was a little noisy and struggling to cool my pod (This is the only reason why I did not rate the room 5 stars) I can sleep through the aircon but if your a light sleeper, I’d recommend booking a private room rather than a shared room.”

“This place has a very confident hotel and the room number was four. There were three beds and the shower was comfortable and hot shower was hot and comfy. I know the owner is a little bit strict about the hotel rules, but if you use it nicely he will say nothing so I love this hotel. There is a free wifi there too! I recommend this hotel to everyone!”

“As advertised. Not a 5 star hotel but for a motel unit was quite fine. Staff was helpful and friendly, room was nice. Water pressure In the shower was amazing. Would stay again.”

“Fantastic service. I came with my daughter in a wheel chair, but could not get the chair into the bathroom. They upgraded me no charge to a bigger unit where the bathroom door was wider. Could not have been more helpful. :)”

“We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.”

“Wonderfully clean and tidy motel in a great location. I was unsure about whether there would be a lot of traffic noise but it was amazingly quiet as the units are double glazed. Good kitchen facilities, and friendly staff. We would happily stay here whenever we are in Christchurch”

“So peaceful. A place to relax and refresh the batteries. Staff are great and make everyone feel like family. Great price Great atmosphere Great people”

“Stayed here couple nights, nice clean bedrooms with own large shower and toilet. Got fridge microwave and toaster in the room along with TV, the host is nice, and quiet. I do recommend and if I back again to chch I'll rebook here.”

“Honestly, I don’t understand the previous review. We enjoyed our stay. The lady at the reception was lovely, everything was clean and there were heaps of other backpackers (also some workers, but they were nice as well). Nice location as well. I would definitely come back.”

“I have stayed here for a few months starting from mid of 2020 through to the first few months of 2021. This place is simply stunning and beautiful! Located in the central of Christchurch city, it’s very convenient to travel around the city, being very close to main shopping malls, cafes, restaurants, Christchurch Botanical Gardens, Museum. Just across the road is Art Gallery. This place is a perfect spot and very neat and clean. The friendly and approachable staffs here also add icing to the cake. In fact I have made good friends with some of them and they have always gone over and above to help me always. Even though I was alone, they really made me feel homely here. The nice environment at Orari Apartments never made me feel bored or lonely. Really, this place is simply amazing. I have stayed at various places around New Zealand over the years but I never received this high stand of hospitality in my life anywhere. The breakfast here is lovely too. If you are travelling to Christchurch and looking for a good place /accommodation with pleasant staffs and also economical ( In regards to money matters) – this is definitely the right and appropriate place to stay! Highly recommended & definitely a 10/10 from my side! :)”

“Hilltop retreat was an exceptional stay. The owners were a welcoming couple and had a beautiful sense of humour which made our stay all the more enjoyable. The studio is beautiful and gives you a warm home feeling, and the place smelt great! We loved our stay and we’ll defiantly be returning. Thankyou hilltop for our most pleasant stay”

“A perfect farmstay. Have been daydreaming about it ever since we left and am eager to take our kids one day. Delicious, plentiful food and great conversations with our gracious hosts. One of my most memorable travel experiences ever.”
